Kate Middleton was concerned for Prince Harry after she noted he “appeared embarrassed” in front of Meghan Markle’s family during their wedding ceremony.
Kate, the Princess of Wales, was perplexed when she discovered that Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, was not present to escort his daughter down the aisle.
Meghan’s other family members, including half-siblings Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle Jr., were also missing. Her mother, Doria Ragland, was the only family member she had at the wedding.

The Princess of Wales found it “all a bit worrying” that Harry hadn’t met his prospective father-in-law, according to royal analyst Ingrid Seward, who spoke with The Sun.
“She could not understand why Harry had never met his future father-in-law, nor why Meghan, who Harry assured was The One and ‘ticked all his boxes’, appeared embarrassed about her family and unwilling to speak about them apart from her mother,” she went on to say.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth II felt “uncomfortable” when she learned that then-Prince Charles would escort Meghan down the aisle despite the fact that her father was still living.
