Meghan Markle has called her father-in-law King Charles 'very charming' as she discussed her wedding day in the final three episodes of her Netflix docuseries with Prince Harry. Volume 2 of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's series, entitled Harry & Meghan, dropped on the streaming service on Thursday (December 15).
Volume 1, containing the first three episodes, aired last week and revealed how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex actually met before getting into their experience with the press with Harry making a rare reference to his late mother, Princess Diana's, Panorama interview.
But the second, and last, lot of episodes, each an hour long, focus on the couple’s decision to step back as senior members of the royal family. However, it starts with the pair discussing their wedding and Meghan sharing her wish for her children to have a big family which she says she 'always wanted'.

The fourth episode of the Netflix series opened with clips from the weddings of the late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh and the now King and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Meghan recalls how her former private secretary, who she says worked for the Queen for some 20 years, told her of the monarchy: "It is like a fish that is swimming perfectly. It is powerful, it is on the right current. Then one day this little organism comes in."
During the same episode, Megahn spoke about Charles walking her down the aisle at her wedding, held at Windsor Castle in 2017. "Harry’s dad is very charming," she says. "And I said to him like ‘I’ve lost my dad in this’, so him as my father-in-law was really important to me, so I asked him to walk me down the aisle and he said yes."
Footage showed King Charles walking Meghan down the aisle and Harry said when he saw her walking down he thought: "Look at me, look what I got…look what I found. The world was watching us, but when we were at the altar as far as I was concerned it was just the two of us."
Meghan later added: "H and I are really, really good at finding each other in the chaos. When we find each other, reconnect, it’s like, ‘It’s you, it’s you’. It’s not that the rest of it doesn’t matter, but the rest of it feels temporary."
The Duchess of Sussex later said she was being "fed to the wolves" during the opening of episode 5 of the Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary. Speaking about wanting her son Archie to have a big family in the way she had not, Meghan says: “I was just so excited that we were going to be able to create for him that thing that I had always wanted.
"So I just did everything I could to make them proud and to really be a part of the family." She then added: "And then the bubble burst," while the voices of news presenters can be heard saying: “Duchess difficult” and “American”.
The Duke of Sussex then said: "It was already clear to the media that the Palace was not going to protect her. Once that happens then the floodgates open." Before Meghan commented: "I realised that I wasn’t just being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves."
Conversation soon returned to her own family, with images shown of Meghan as a baby with her dad. She says they were close but that "its never easy, its never perfect". Appearing to be asked when things started to go awry, the respons: "When the media got involved," before clips were shown of her father, Thomas Markle, talking in TV interviews.
"It was incredibly painful," Meghan said as newspaper headlines were shown on screen including: "MM’s dad slams daughter’s sense of superiority" and “Thomas Markle likens royals to ‘secretive scientology cult”.
Meghan said it was "very embarrassing for the royal family” and that she reached out to the Queen for advice. "It was suggested by the Queen, Prince of Wales, that I write my dad a letter," she recalled but said she went to great lengths to get it to him discreetly.
She claims that when the letter did arrive, the signature for confirmation of delivery 'wasn't her dad’s'. "I know my dad’s handwriting," she said.
