Meghan Markle’s father has been spotted reading stories about the Royal Wedding in an internet cafe – just 10 days before he will walk his daughter down the aisle in the wedding of the year. Thomas Markle, 73, was seen in Rosarito, Mexico surfing the web for information about Prince Harry and the 36-year-old actress.
The retired television lighting director regularly visits the internet cafe because he doesn’t get a strong connection at his home. It’s not known if he was doing a bit of last minute googling on his future son in-law, who he’s never met. Or perhaps he was looking for inspiration – it’s thought he might deliver a speech after walking his daughter down the aisle on May 19. Mr Markle spent 20 minutes browsing through news items about the royal pair, including a photo gallery on Town And Country magazine’s website entitled ‘Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Sweetest Moments’.
On Friday, Mr Markle was sized up by a tailor near his home as he prepared to walk his daughter down the aisle. Earlier this week, royal aides finally confirmed that the Suits actress will have her father and mother Doria Ragland, at her wedding.
‘Ms Markle is delighted to have her parents by her side on this important and happy occasion. It’s very important to her that both her parents have roles in her wedding,’ a spokesman for Kensington Palace said.
This week, it was also revealed that Prince Harry still hasn’t met his fiancée’s father – but the pair have already spoken on the phone.
A source told The Sun: ‘Thomas cannot wait to fly to the UK to see Meghan and meet Prince Harry for the first time. He will be extremely nervous, but his family are backing him.
‘Despite some of the squabbles in the family, he is the one who joins them all together. He still has the respect of virtually everyone.’
