Meghan Markle Reportedly Did The Most Shocking Thing To Prince Charles At Her Wedding—Forget The Kate Middleton Dress Drama!

"Feeling 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 George’s Chapel to the altar," Hardman wrote. However Meghan apparently had a counter-suggestion, and asked the future King of England a very important four-worded question: "Can we meet halfway?"

We remember watching Meghan float down the aisle in her Givenchy wedding dress by Clare Waight Keller on her own, to be joined by Prince Charles in the middle of the aisle; and now we know why! Hardman, via an article he wrote for The Daily Mail, went on to suggest that Meghan's request "was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own." And we couldn’t agree more!

However, Prince Charles' request to walk Meghan down the aisle was apparently Prince Harry's idea all along, which he mentioned in a documentary to mark his father's 70th birthday. "I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming and he immediately said ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs, and I’m here to support you,'" the Duke of Sussex said at the time.

"For him that’s a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know he’s our father so of course he’s going to be there for us. I was very grateful for him to be able to do that," Harry added.
