When news broke that Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, wouldn't be able to attend his daughter's royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan's future father-in-law stepped in to walk her down the aisle.
In a new interview with the Daily Mail, Thomas Markle, who says he watched the royal wedding on television from a rented Airbnb where he was staying in recovery after being hospitalized shortly before the big day (he says his doctors forbid him from traveling), said he is still "incredibly grateful" to King Charles for stepping into walk Meghan down the aisle when he couldn't be there himself.
