Meghan Markle will make a striking feminist statement in her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday, choosing not to be chaperoned for much of the procession down the aisle of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, CNN has learned.
In an unprecedented step for a royal bride in the UK, Markle will walk unescorted down the aisle of the chapel nave, after being met at the West Door by a member of the clergy. She will be accompanied in this first part of the wedding procession only by her bridesmaids and page boys, with the senior church figure walking ahead.
Prince Charles will join her when she reaches the Quire, where the main royal guests will be seated. The Prince -- Harry's father -- will walk Markle down the Quire aisle to the foot of the altar.
But Charles will not give her away to her husband-to-be in the traditional sense; instead, he will stand back as Markle approaches Prince Harry.
CNN understands that Markle came up with the plan herself. It was always the intention that her father Thomas would meet her at the Quire and she would walk the first part alone. Ill health has since prevented him from coming. Both Charles and Harry are delighted with the plan, CNN understands.
No other royal bride in the UK has walked unescorted down the aisle at their wedding ceremony. Markle's decision indicates that she wishes to assert herself as a strong, independent woman who is prepared to challenge royal norms.

Wow, you go girl /s
My mother walked down the aisle by herself when she was married. She was an orphan, not a feminist.
Not given away. More like handed over for more recycling.
Things that are interesting.
1. The mating habits of earthworms.
2. How many sheep I can count each night before falling asleep.
3. British “Royals.”
Didn’t we fight a war to get AWAY from these cretins?
Thus the alleged drama with the father the past few days.
I didn’t do the Di wedding, and won’t do this one either.
where is momma? telling that Meghan has no matron of honor....
Meghan Markle is a dumpster fire that will consume the Royals. The world is full of beautiful women and he chooses an American Feminist Celebutard. That’s three strikes!
What a mistake this guy is making...he’s too besotted to see it.
He should’ve married Cressida.
Ed Sheeran wears a mangagement ring.
These people are so nauseating. I’m so tired of hearing about them.
I have great respect for the Queen, especially for her service during WWII. That said, when she passes the whole royal charade should be abolished.
You forgot 36 years old, twice divorced, casting couch whore.
What a faggot.
Harry oh Harry, look what you’ve done, and you’re not even married yet. Not to late to cancel Harry....big mistake, big, big, mistake.
>>You forgot 36 years old, twice divorced, casting couch whore.
Wow. I didn’t know the first two. Assumed the third was true.
Why is he doing this? He seems like a smart guy.
Bringing all this social justice crap to the uK. Don’t you know the queen and Phillip are just rolling their eyes. She is not in America and she should act like it. Harry is an idiot. I give it 5 years max. Pretty soon she will be demanding diversity in the queen’s staff.
Great way to start her marriage into what, almost a 1000 years of traditional history with the monarchy. But CNN thinks it’s great. Good start.
