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.

Can’t wait to see their firstborn. You know she’ll be pregnant as soon as possible.
I hope the wedding night is as wild as you imagined Harry, as you are making the biggest mistake of your life !
A sweet ass ain’t worth a ring
Yawn
“...She fails to understand the significance of a wedding....but then it’s her second aisle run.”
There will be no real marriage This is just another “role” for her to play.
I predict trouble in paradise inside 12 months.
Nope, Prince Charles will walk her down.
Why should I believe CNN’s spin on the royal wedding any more than I believe their spin in their all Nevertrump all the time Stateside coverage?
Harry: I’d rather not be royalty.
Meghan: I want to be a princess.
Harry: The role is governed by tradition.
Meghan: Screw tradition.
Nope, no cognitive dissonance going on here.
What’s the line on this marriage at Ladbrokes?
80% of the human population has brown eyes.
Blue eyes are recessive so for a child to have them, both parents must have blue eyes.
My mom had blue eyes my dad had green eyes so I came out brown!
Edward VII Wanted to marry an American commoner - a divorcee in the 1930s. British public opinion was shocked as that went against the mores of the era so he was finally forced to abdicate.
That wouldn’t happen today.
Wow!
“telling that Meghan has no matron of honor....”
What do you mean?
I didn’t have a matron of honor.

The strong independent woman needs to sign a contract that prevents her from ever spending a cent of her husband’s money.
Did you not read my post ? I just told you that both of my brown-eyed parents had the “Bb” gene and produced me, a blue-eyed child with a “bb” gene. Only one parent with a solid “BB” gene cannot produce a blue eyed child, even if one parent has blue eyes. They can if one or both carry the recessive “Bb” gene. In your case, you had a 50% chance of having either brown or blue eyes. You inherited a “Bb” gene as a result.
They didn’t sign a pre-nup did they?
Cressida is beautiful.
“Blue eyes are recessive so for a child to have them, both parents must have blue eyes.”

Uh,uh! I have brown eyes,husband green,and we had one blue eyed child-—the exact color of my blue eyed mother.
