Meghan Markle will begin bridal procession alone, in bold feminist statement (new SJW Princess?)
CNN ^ | May 18 2018 | Max Foster

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.

He should’ve married Cressida.

I thought that too. If he wanted an actress, she would have been better. She’s beautiful, smart, and aristocratic.

Snark. She has sadly already given herself away a few times.

Coasttocoastam, which sucks whenever it has Norry on by the way (he seems to do health related shows primarily), had a psychic who claimed the wedding will be cancelled.

At this point, I sure do hope so, for the Prince’s sake!

Will they let the Father of the Bride bring his Seeing Eye Dog into the Church?

Didn’t we fight a war to get AWAY from these cretins?

Yeah we did! Who cares about this crap. Besides, everyone knows Harry's not royal. He Dianna's love child.

I hope they had it disinfected.

If he wanted a kooky gal, he should have went on the Bachelor.

That’s the best explanation I’ve heard.

How about just getting married and not making a statement?

her first marriage was annulled. I don’t know what to think of her....2 failed marriages under your belt at 36 is kind of young for that.

It’s her second (or is it third?) wedding? What’s the big deal. It’s not like this is the first wedding. And they’ve been living together, right?

Is this a supermarket tabloid headline, or on par with Chelsea Hubbell?

Her dad won't be there.

Rather then have someone take his place she is walking herself. A logical decision.

Correct. In keeping with her history, she will be “giving away”..
