Who would walk Meghan down the aisle?
Traditionally, the father of the bride accompanies his daughter during the processional. While customs vary widely across cultures and families, the moment is often viewed as a symbolic gesture of support and blessing.
With her father absent, many speculated about possible alternatives.
Some wondered whether Meghan might walk alone.
Others suggested that Prince Harry could meet her at the chapel entrance.
Few expected the solution that ultimately emerged.
6According to royal biographer Robert Hardman in his book Queen of Our Times, Prince Charles stepped forward and offered his assistance.
Rather than allowing the situation to become an additional burden for Meghan, Charles reportedly offered to walk his future daughter-in-law down the aisle himself.
The gesture was widely interpreted as one of kindness and support during a challenging moment.
For many observers, it reflected a desire to help ensure that Meghan felt welcomed and supported as she entered a new chapter of her life.
Yet Meghan's response reportedly surprised him.
