Thomas Markle missed Meghan, Harry wedding out of fear?

Thomas Markle was nowhere to be seen when his daughter Meghan Markle exchanged vows with Prince Harry in a grand royal wedding in 2018.

At the time, it was believed he stayed away because of health problems. However, he was seen posing for pictures which caused a lot of media attention.

Later, Meghan’s estranged dad claimed that he was too sick to travel and because of that very reason, King Charles walked Meghan down the aisle.

However, a new report has claimed that the real reason he did not attend the wedding was because he was scared.

Royal writer Sally Bedell Smith claimed, while citing late Queen Elizabeth’s cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, that Thomas did not come out of fear, per The Express.

He was "frightened of coming to the wedding,” she claimed, adding that he could also not manage the steps of the St George's Chapel.

Previously, royal expert Hugo Vickers also spoke to The Sun on reasons why Thomas missed his daughter’s big day.

“Why did Mr Markle never meet Prince Harry?” he asked, adding, “There can only be three reasons for that.”

“One that she was ashamed of him, which I think is a bit unattractive,” Vickers claimed.

“Two, possibly that she thought he'd done something, but when Prince Harryrang Mr Markle up and asked if he could marry his daughter, he said ‘you can marry her as long as you never raise your hand against her.’

The expert continued, “Of course we don't talk like that, so maybe he lives in a world where people have done that sort of thing. I dispute that as well. I don't think that's the case.

“The third reason is that I think she was worried that he might actually have warned Prince Harry - this is not what you're getting, this girl.”
