Meghan Markle's response to Prince Charles' special request for her wedding day to Prince Harry helped her radiate confidence and a sense of "independence" as she walked down the aisle.
- Prince Charles asked Meghan Markle if he could walk her down the aisle of St George's Chapel in Windsor when she tied the knot with Prince Harry in 2018, in the absence of her father, Thomas Markle.
- Meghan requested if Charles could "meet her half way", with royal experts claiming this allowed Meghan to have her own special moment as the world watched on.
- This royal news comes after Kate Middleton and Prince William twinned with mini-mes George and Charlotte in sweet coordinated outfits.
Meghan's response to Charles' offering is believed to have allowed her to prove she was far from a "blushing bride" when she married Prince Harry.
According to royal biographer Robert Hardman, Meghan had a short but sweet reply for future King, Prince Charles, when he asked if he could have the honor of walking her down the aisle, with her own dad, Thomas Markle, not in attendance.
"Feeling for his future daughter-in-law, the Prince of Wales offered to step in, saying he would be honoured to escort Meghan up the aisle of St George’s Chapel to the altar," the biography reads.
Meghan, is said to have asked her then father-in-law-to-be a question he did not expect, responding with, "Can we meet halfway?"
Robert, who penned new biography The Queen, explains that Meghan's ask of Charles "was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own".
After marrying, Harry and Meghan moved into Frogmore Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle, but announced in early 2020 that they were stepping down from their royal roles.
"We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," they confirmed in a statement at the time, before announcing in 2021 that they would not be returning to royal work.
