Meghan was an empowered and strong bride that May 19, 2018. Now we’ve known through the book Queen of our timesby Robert Hardman, the inside story of those moments before the ceremony.
Before the announced absence from the wedding of the actress’s father, Thomas Markle, Charles of England made a kind proposal to his daughter-in-law and offered to accompany her to the altar, along with Prince Harry. Meghan’s unexpected response to the Prince of Wales is included in the aforementioned book, echoed by the Daily Mirror.
