The day has finally arrived for the much talked-about British royal wedding of actress and philanthropist, Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry, and it is the biggest celebrity wedding in the world at the moment. The couple, who will say “I do” today at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, have excited the world starting with their courtship to the announcement of their wedding.
The excited Prince Harry went on twitter to pour out his emotion on his wedding to Megan Markel. He wrote, “Absolutely thrilled and elated, Meghan and I thank you for your encouragement during this happy moment we’re glad you’ll share with us! You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams”
But the bad news is that Meghan Markle‘s father will not be attending the royal wedding. Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father, told TMZ that he was to undergo a heart surgery which will prevent him from attending his daughter’s wedding.
He said he would like to make it to London to walk Meghan down the aisle, because it depends on his health. He also said he had received texts from Meghan telling him that she wanted him to be at her wedding. “I hate the idea of missing one of the greatest moments in history and walking my daughter down the aisle,” he said. “Of course I’d walk her down the aisle. This is a historic moment. I’d like to be a part of history.”
But sadly, he won’t be part of it as it was reported that Prince Harry would now take the place of her dad. However, Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, flew into London yesterday to be by her daughter’s side. She is separated from Markle’s father, Thomas, and works as a yoga instructor and social worker in Los Angeles, USA. It will be Meghan Markle’s second marriage. She was in a relationship with actor and producer Trevor Engelson from 2004. They married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on September 10, 2011, and divorced in August 2013.
Since June 2016, Markle has been in a relationship with Prince Harry, who is sixth in line to the British throne. Prince Harry and Markle met on a blind date that a mutual friend set up. The press began to report the relationship in October 2016. On November 8, 2016, the British royal family’s communications secretary released an official statement that addressed a “wave of abuse and harassment” directed toward Markle.
The statement described as sexism, racism and defamatory the stories directed at her, including an unspecified “smear on the front page of a national newspaper”. During a September 2017 interview with Vanity Fair, Markle spoke in public for the first time about her love for Prince Harry. Later that month, they made their first public appearance together at an official royal engagement at the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada
Markle was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in theatre and international studies in 2003, she played small roles in several American television series. From 2011 to 2018, she portrayed the character Rachel Zane in the legal drama series Suits. Markle’s film credits include Remember Me and Horrible Bosses
Last year, she became engaged to Prince Harry and announced her retirement from acting. This year, Time magazine selected Markle as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World”.
