Her reply was somewhat unexpected
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.
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?""Here was an indicator that this was no blushing bride, but a confident, independent woman determined to make a grand entrance on her own.
Since that day, a lot has happened for Harry and Meghan from welcoming their two children Archie and Lilibet to quitting their royal roles and leaving the UK for California. However, last month they were reunited with their royal relatives - with whom they have a rocky bond - in the wake of the sad death of the Queen aged 96.
And now royal expert Duncan Larcombe has said it's now the time for Harry and Meghan to decide whether they want to be in or out when it comes to royal life. He told OK! magazine: "Charles, Camilla, William and Kate are entering a new era of the institution. It's up to Harry and Meghan whether they want all or nothing.
