Meghan Markle Allegedly Had ‘Unusual’, ‘Eyebrow-Raising’ Request For 2018 Wedding
Prince Charles felt “thrilled” and “honored” to walk Meghan Markle down the aisle. But, she allegedly had an “unusual” request to the royal-born Prince for the day of her wedding.
The allegations came from royal commentator Neil Sean. He explained what reportedly went down between the Duchess of Sussex and the Prince of Wales on his YouTube channel, according to Express UK.
The expert claimed that the future King did not mind escorting the former actress down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. He stated that Prince Harry was the one who asked his father to do the honor.
However, Meghan Markle allegedly requested Prince Charles to “meet her halfway” instead of escorting her from the starting point of the aisle.
This is claimed to have “raised [the] eyebrows” of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. It also reportedly led people to realize that the former “Suits” actress was “going to be difficult.”
The publication later quoted Sean speaking about the alleged request, saying, “This is because she wanted the focus to be on her.” He adds, “...for the world’s cameras to let us see that she was a strong independent woman, and of course, doing things her own way.”
The royal commentator also reportedly told his viewers that the Prince of Wales is “looking back over that particular period,” adding that “he should have known exactly what was around the corner.”
Following the allegations, though, no proof has come to light to verify the story. Accordingly, the claims will remain speculative at best unless otherwise stated.
Nearly two years after the royal wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back as senior working royals from the British Monarchy. In a statement, the pair announced their plans, including working to become “financially independent.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also noted that they intend to split their time between the United Kingdom and the United States. They have since relocated to the former actress’s home country, living in their new home in Montecito, California.
At the time, BBC said it understood no other [British] Royal, including Queen Elizabeth II, “was consulted” before the emergence of the statement. It also reported that Buckingham Palace was “disappointed” and senior royals were “hurt” by the shocking announcement.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had just had their first return to the United Kingdom earlier in June. They joined the rest of the British Royal Family to celebrate the British Monarch’s Platinum Jubilee.
The former working royals were with their two children when they flew back to the British Royals’ turf. It marked their youngest child’s first visit to the U.K. and first meeting with the rest of the family.
