Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Wedding Rumors: Markle's Father Gives Blessing To Prince Harry
Meghan Markle's father is reportedly delighted to see his daughter find love with Prince Harry. This is according to sources close to the family who revealed that Thomas Markle gave his blessing to the prince and is happy his "Suits" star daughter is loved up with the fifth in line to the throne.
The 33-year-old prince has yet to meet his future father-in-law who is currently living a low key life in Mexico. However, it appears that the 6 ft 3-inch former lighting director has no qualms about their relationship. After all, who wouldn't want their daughter to marry a real prince?
"He's happy his daughter's with Prince Harry and he's glad she's found love," said Thomas's neighbor Allison Leber. "He's happy as long as Meghan is happy."
According to one relative, Thomas adores his daughter Meghan or "Bean" as he calls her. He wants her relationship to take its natural cause and he has no interest in speaking publicly about the relationship.
The 73-year-old was enjoying his retirement when his daughter and Prince Harry started their relationship inevitable making them one of the most famous families in the world. However, he wants no part of the media circus surrounding the couple and lives a quiet life in a sleepy area of Mexico on the California border.
That doesn't mean that he won't be taking an active role in preparing her daughter for marriage though with rumors of an imminent engagement announcement for the young royals continue. Thomas could very well be preparing to walk Meghan down the aisle, as per tradition, and give her away as she becomes a princess.
The engagement will likely come in a few months time although it is not clear how soon. It's very likely that it will be a low-profile ceremony though given Mr. Markle's reclusive nature and that Meghan, a divorcee, is ineligible to have a religious wedding under church rules.
