A royal book has outlined Meghan Markle's response when King Charles offered to walk her down the aisle on the day of her wedding to Prince Harry. The now-king made the gesture at a time when tensions had been high leading up to the occasion due to Meghan's dad Thomas Markle.
Thomas announced he would not be attending with less than a week to go before the big day. So Meghan's future father-in-law, Charles, then offered to step in, telling his daughter-in-law he would be honoured to escort her to the altar of the chapel, as reported by The Mirror.
But according to a book, her reply to this gesture was somewhat unexpected by the then Prince of Wales. Writing in Queen of Our Times, author Robert Hardman says: The reply, according to one friend, was not quite what he was expecting: "Can we meet halfway?"
