WINDSOR (UNITED KINGDOM) - Meghan Markle will begin her walk down the aisle on her own when she marries Prince Harry before being joined by his father Prince Charles, officials said Friday after a last-minute upset when her own dad pulled out. Despite speculation that Ragland could step in, the palace said the bride had asked her future father-in-law to do so. "The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms Markle to the royal family in this way," a spokesman for Kensington Palace added. Thomas Markle complained about being hounded by the paparazzi at his home in Mexico before he staged his own photos. A recovering Thomas Markle told US celebrity news website TMZ that he was "honoured and grateful" that Charles would give his daughter away.
