At her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018, Meghan Markle was walked down the aisle by King Charles.
Harry’s dad stood in for Meghan’s own father, Thomas Markle, who was unable to attend the royal wedding.
Harry subsequently revealed that Charles had enjoyed showing his support for the couple by walking with the Duchess of Sussex.
However, a royal expert has now suggested that Queen Elizabeth wasn’t necessarily on board with the decision.
In her new book, My Mother and I, royal expert Ingrid Seward revealed that the queen was “uneasy” with Charles’ decision (via RadarOnline).
According to Seward, “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.”
In what seems like a major dig at Meghan, Seward also claimed that Prince Philip regarded the Duchess of Sussex as “the new Wallis Simpson.” Simpson, of course, was the American divorcée whom Edward VIII abdicated the throne for.
It’s unclear why Queen Elizabeth was uncomfortable with Charles’ decision to walk Meghan down the aisle. It’s also worth noting that the Duchess of Sussex walked herself down the first half of the aisle, and that the royal wedding itself was generally regarded as pretty spectacular.
A lot has changed since Meghan and Harry tied the knot. The couple left the U.K. for a new life in Montecito, California, where they are raising their two children—son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet. A much talked about royal family rift has also ensued, with Meghan and Harry sadly remaining at odds with their relatives. However, the Sussexes are reportedly hoping to heal family relations in the near future.
At their upcoming appearance at the Invictus Games, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to make their first official public appearance together since their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. The couple, who have been focusing on their charitable endeavors and raising their two young children, are expected to attend the event in the Netherlands in 2022. Despite the royal family rift and ongoing tensions, Harry and Meghan remain committed to their philanthropic work and are looking forward to supporting the athletes at the Invictus Games.In recent months, Meghan has also been making headlines for her new children’s book, “The Bench,” which was inspired by the bond between her husband and their son, Archie. The book has received mixed reviews, with some praising Meghan’s storytelling skills and others criticizing it as too simplistic. Despite the controversy, “The Bench” has become a bestseller and has sparked conversations about the importance of fatherhood and the special moments shared between fathers and their children.As Harry and Meghan continue to navigate their new life in the spotlight, they are also working on expanding their Archewell foundation and launching new projects to support causes close to their hearts. From advocating for gender equality to promoting mental health awareness, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world.Looking ahead, Meghan and Harry are determined to carve out their own path and create a legacy that reflects their values and beliefs. Whether through their philanthropy, writing, or public appearances, the couple remains committed to using their platform for good and inspiring others to make a difference. As they embark on this new chapter in their lives, Harry and Meghan are sure to continue captivating audiences around the world with their compassion, dedication, and resilience.
