The build-up to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding wasn’t without its drama – and according to a royal book, the late Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t impressed with one part of the nuptials.
The late Queen reportedly wasn’t too keen on one part of Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding
It has now been more than six years since Meghan Markle stunned the world as she walked down the aisle to marry Prince Harry – and the late Queen was reportedly unimpressed with one part of the nuptials.
Just a few days before the main event, her father announced he would not be attending due to a health scare, leaving the bride, dressed in a beautiful Givenchy gown, with nobody to walk her down the aisle. The now-King Charles luckily stepped in at the final hour, but his heartwarming gesture left the late Queen “not comfortable”, a book claimed.
With nobody to walk her down the aisle, Meghan’s future father-in-law Charles, who was still Prince of Wales at the time, offered to step in, telling his daughter-in-law he would be honoured to escort her to the altar of the chapel.
But writing in her book, My Mother and I, royal biographer Ingrid Seward says: “The Queen was not comfortable with the Prince of Wales standing in for Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, and was similarly concerned about a 96-year-old Prince Philip walking down the aisle without a stick, having had a hip replacement only five weeks before.”
After the big day, it later emerged it had been Harry’s decision to ask his father to stand in. He recalled in the documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70: “I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming and he immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs and I’m here to support you.”
The expert writes: “Lady Elizabeth told me that the Queen had made only one remark to her about Meghan and Harry’s wedding, which was that the bride’s Givenchy wedding gown was ‘too white’. In the monarch’s view, it was not appropriate for a divorcee getting remarried in church to look quite so flamboyantly virginal.”
