“If you remember [Harry and Meghan's wedding], how Charles took [Meghan's mother] to sign the guest book and [he] walked Meghan up the last half of the aisle. He really was very fond of [Meghan],” the royal author said.

“The Queen was used to handling this kind of thing, I don't think it threw her as much as it has thrown Charles [and] understandably so, it's his son and daughter-in-law who has, kind of, said some pretty hurtful things,” Christopher Andersen said.

When Meghan Markle's father was unable to attend her wedding, Charles had stepped in to walk her down the aisle. Prince Harry had then said, “I asked him to and I think he knew it was coming. He immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs and I’m here to support you'”.
