Prince Charles Urged to Walk Meghan Down the Aisle

After days of silence, Meghan Markle was forced to make an extraordinary and emotional statement, confirming that her father, Thomas Markle, will no longer walk her down the aisle at St George's Chapel on Saturday.

The retired lighting director, 73, was reportedly undergoing heart surgery after a dramatic week.

Now, royal fans have taken to Twitter to call for Prince Charles to step in.

Royal watchers have insisted that the future king is the perfect replacement and taking on the role would be a sign of acceptance and unity.

Others suggested it would be an equally nice moment for Charles as he has no daughters of his own.

The royal is no stranger to stepping into the father of the bride's shoes after giving away family friend Alexandra Natchbull at her wedding to Thomas Hooper in 2016.

However, some have expressed concern over the idea of someone other than the bride's father walking her down the aisle.

A family friend said, “It's very unusual to be given away by someone else at your wedding, even if it's the Prince of Wales.”

The situation has put a spotlight on the importance of fathers walking their daughters down the aisle.

It is a tradition that dates back centuries and symbolizes the father's blessing and support of his daughter's marriage.

However, in recent years, there has been a shift towards more non-traditional approaches to the wedding ceremony.
