Why was King Charles III stunned during Meghan Markel, Prince Harry's wedding? Details here

Although Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding was an illustrious ceremony, the event has not been smooth sailing. According to Robert Hardman, the royal biographer who published his book "Queen of Our Times: The Life of Elizabeth II", Meghan's response to her soon-to-be father-in-law King Charles III's kind gesture left him somewhat taken aback.

Meghan and Prince Harry were married at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. Before the wedding, it had been speculated that Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle Sr., would not be able to walk her down the aisle because he had undergone heart surgery.

Then King Charles III stepped in and offered to do the honour for the Duchess.





According to Hardman, the then-Prince of Wales readily agreed to honour Meghan by escorting her to the altar aisle of St George's Chapel.However, the Duchess wished to make her grand entrance alone. The incident suggested that Meghan would not be a blushing bride, but rather an independent, self-assured woman.
