Charles also addressed Markle and announced that he was pleased by the fact that she asked him to walk her down the aisle.

People reported that Meghan's father, Thomas Markle Sr., was initially expected to walk her daughter down the aisle. However, since he could not attend the wedding due to health issues, Markle requested Charles to do the honor.

Markle Sr. suffered a heart attack only a week before the Royal Wedding and was feeling constant chest pains. HIs doctors advised him against showing up at the royal ceremony.

Previously, Kensington Palace took to Twitter to announce that Markle Sr. was replaced by Prince Charles to walk Markle down the aisle.

'Ms. Meghan Markle has asked His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales to accompany her down the aisle of the Quire of St. George's Chapel on her Wedding Day,' the statement from the Palace posted on Twitter read.

Charles has previously walked a bride down the aisle on one occasion. He walked Alexandra Knatchbull, a close family friend, on the day she married Thomas Hooper, People informed.
