Thomas Markle is in hospital following heart surgery days after he embarrassed his daughter with a series of 'staged' paparazzi photographs that threatened to overshadow her big day.
After days of silence Meghan was forced to make an extraordinary and moving statement confirming he will no longer walk her down the aisle at St George's Chapel, Windsor, on Saturday.
She said: 'Sadly my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health’.
The former Suits star, 36, added: 'I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support.
Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday'.
Her poignant words came as thousands watched a wedding rehearsal in Windsor today where soldiers including Harry's former regiment, the Household Cavalry, marched through the streets.
The Ascot Landau carriage set to carry the couple was also paraded past the castle but Harry and Meghan are at Kensington Palace today with her mother Doria Ragland, who is now expected to give away her daughter.
