It’s been a turbulent few days for Meghan Markle.
Not least because she is one-half of the world’s largest wedding of 2018, due to take place on Saturday, but because her father has found himself at the crux of countless tabloid headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Now, for the first time since Thomas Markle, 73, decided he was attending his daughter’s wedding, then he was, then he wasn’t again, the actress and humanitarian has spoken about the hoopla.

If anyone was going to walk her down the aisle, it would have been nice for her mum to do it, but whatever works. It does have a slight feel of the Royals closing ranks a little - not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Actually, I think it's a mark of kindness for him to offer. The simple act of walking up an aisle, adhering to ceremonial protocol whilst having literally millions of people watching, becomes not so simple and a potentially terrifying thing for someone to do, if they are not used to that sort of thing. Charles is a veteran of these duties. His stepping in takes the scrutiny away from others, and allows them to relax and enjoy the ceremony with less pressure.
She chose to ask Prince Charles over her own mother?
