Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle will have the royal wedding ceremony tomorrow, May 19 at the Windsor Castle in England. The wedding ceremony, however, not see Meghan's father in attendance. Her father, Thomas Markle will be unable to attend the wedding ceremony, a question which too many people has in mind. The next obvious question then comes in as to who will walk the bride down the aisle. As the countdown to the grand occasion begins, it has come to fore that the bride will walk alone as she enters and then meet Prince Charles halfway down the aisle at the St George's Chapel tomorrow. Kensington Palace had informed The Prince of Wales was "pleased to be able to welcome Ms Markle to the Royal Family in this way."

Meghan Markle will start the wedding procession by herself before she reaches the Quire, where the father of the groom will accompany her. Prince Charles however, will stand behind her as she reaches Prince Harry. So he will not literally 'give her away'. If Thomas Markle could have made it all hale and hearty he would be happily taking on the role now given to Prince Charles. According to the statement given by the palace, Ms Markle specially asked her to-be father-in-law to walk with her down the aisle, a very important tradition of the wedding ceremony. Royal Weddings 2018 Live Streaming: Where to Watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Nuptial Ceremony on TV & Online

Meghan Markle has issued a statement earlier informing why her father would not be a part of her big day. Her statement read, “Sadly, my father would not be attending our wedding,” she said. “I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health.” It is also being said that Meghan's feminist beliefs have been reinforced as she plans to walk as an independent woman and would be accompanied by Prince Charles only for the final length of the Nave to the altar. Also, did you know John Cena had joked about walking Meghan Markle down the aisle? It was also being said that Meghan's mum, Doria Ragland, was to walk the bride but Kensington Palace revealed it would instead be Prince Charles. She will be the only direct family member of the bride's side at the wedding.
