Family drama
Meghan Markle's father will not be attending the wedding after undergoing heart surgery, and Prince Charles will walk her down part of the aisle, BBC noted.
This puts to rest days of speculation about whether Meghan Markle's father, Thomas Markle, would give his daughter away.
Initially, Thomas Markle was confirmed to attend the royal event but reports later emerged that he had doubled up on his word out of embarrassment regarding paparazzi photographs.
Not long after that, Meghan Markle released a statement explaining that her father was having heart surgery on the same day.
