Amid reports of Markles father not being able to attend his daughters wedding due to poor health, Prince Charles has stepped in and is expected to walk her down the aisle. The Kensington Palace announced Friday that Prince Charles has accepted Meghans request and “the Prince of Wales would be pleased to be able to welcome Ms Markle to the Royal Family in this way”.

Prince Harrys niece, three-year-old Princess Charlotte, will be one of the six young girls chosen as bridesmaids while her brother, Prince George, will be one of the 10 pageboys at the wedding, the palace revealed in a statement.

The couple met on a blind date in 2016. After four months of dating, the news of their affair went public and they have been the centre of attention for paparazzi ever since. They announced their engagement last year.
