Kensington Palace has confirmed who will be walking Meghan Markle down the aisle in the absence of her father, who is unable to attend the big day due to having heart surgery. The statement was made on Twitter by Kensington Palace which read,
'Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St George's Chapel on her Wedding Day. The Prince of Wales is pleased to be able to welcome Ms. Markle to The Royal Family in this way'.
Yesterday Meghan confirmed that her father wouldn't be attending the Royal Wedding between herself and Prince Harry. The statement released yesterday on behalf of Meghan said, 'Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health. I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday.'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement was announced last November, with the couple posing shortly afterwards with an official photoshoot, where we had the chance to see the beautiful engagement ring, designed by Prince Harry.

Prince Harry's young niece and nephew, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are included in the list, with Kensington Palace made the exciting announcement on Twitter saying, 'Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen the Bridesmaids and Page Boys for their Wedding on Saturday 19th May #RoyalWedding' with a link to their statement.
