āFeeling for his future daughter-in-law, the Prince of Wales offered to step in, saying he would be honored to escort Meghan up the aisle of St Georgeās Chapel to the altar. The reply, according to one friend, was not quite what he was expecting: āCan we meet halfway?’ā Hardman wrote.
āHere was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own.ā
In 2018, in the BBC documentaryĀ Prince, Son, andĀ Heir, Harry spoke about his father, Charles, offering to walk his wife down the aisle. Harry initially said he had asked his father about it, and Charles immediately agreed.
Prince William had concerns over Meghan Markleās wedding outfit
āI asked him to and I think he knew it was coming, and he immediately said, āYes, of course, Iāll do whatever Meghan needs and Iām here to support you.’ā Harry recalled. āFor him, thatās a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know, heās our father, so of course, heās going to be there for us.ā
Harry proposed to Meghan with a custom three-stone ring. It featured diamonds from his late mother, Princess Dianaās jewelry collection. However, one year later, for the wedding, the fact that Meghan had already worn something from Dianaās jewelry collection left one person concerned: Prince William.
In his book, Spare, Harry recalled tensions between him and his brother when he and Meghan were planning the wedding. Moreover, in Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography, author Robert Jobson claimed that the relationship between Harry and William had deteriorated, and even though William had been confirmed as the best man, the bond between them had āworsened.ā
Prince William was allegedly not the only one in the Royal Family who felt Harry and Meghanās relationship had developed too fast. William, itās said, decided to reach out to his grandmother to ask for a very special assurance.
