As the world eagerly anticipates the royal wedding of the year, all eyes are on who will accompany Meghan Markle as she walks down the aisle at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19. While everyone seems to have an opinion, it seems the bride herself is keeping her cards close to her chest. Let’s dive into the buzz surrounding this pivotal moment in the ceremony.
The Speculation Surrounding Meghan's Walk Down the Aisle
Amidst the whirlwind of wedding planning, a recent report from Us Weekly has sparked a frenzy of speculation. According to the publication, Meghan, now 36, has expressed her desire for her mother, Doria Ragland, to give her away. This choice, if true, would break with royal tradition and add a deeply personal touch to the day. But hold on—Meghan’s estranged half-sister, Samantha Grant, has swiftly stepped in to set the record straight.
Samantha, who’s become something of an unofficial spokesperson for the Markle family, took to Twitter to dismiss the claims. In her tweet, she firmly stated, “Muck about Doria walking Meg down the aisle is NOT true. Our father will walk her down the aisle.” With this, the debate has only intensified, leaving fans eager for an official word from Kensington Palace.

Breaking Tradition: A Royal Wedding with a Twist
While Us Weekly insists Meghan wants her mother by her side, insiders suggest the Suits star is keen to infuse the day with unconventional surprises. One source shared, “I’ve heard that Meghan wants her mother to walk her down the aisle, which would be a sweet moment.” They added, “The wedding itself will be far from traditional. Harry and Meghan are both fiercely independent and aren’t ones to follow the rules. Expect a day filled with surprises that include their closest friends and family.”
Harry, known for his rebellious streak, seems to be fully on board with this approach. An insider told Us Weekly, “Harry has never been one to follow instructions. Both he and Meghan are independent individuals, and I can’t imagine them sitting back and letting others dictate their special day. They’re in charge, and they’re making it their own.”
Official Details Still Under Wraps
For now, the only way to know for sure is to wait for Kensington Palace’s official announcement via their social media channels. Last week, Prince Harry hinted at the ongoing planning process during an interview with the BBC. He revealed that he and Meghan haven’t started finalizing guest lists yet. And let’s be honest—if Samantha’s predictions are anything to go by, her half-sister might not even make the cut.
A Romantic Escape: Meghan and Harry Ring in the New Year in Style
While the world debates the finer details of their big day, Meghan and Harry have been enjoying a well-deserved break. The couple rang in the New Year with a romantic getaway to Monaco, where they partied with friends in true tycoon style. According to MailOnline, the pair celebrated in a luxurious, private setting, soaking in the glitz and glamour of Monte Carlo.
An insider shared, “Harry and Meghan were somewhere very private and very expensive. Monte Carlo is party central this time of year, and it’s rumored that the British royals really let loose.” Some speculate that Prince Albert, a close friend of Harry’s, may have hosted the festivities. Regardless, it seems the couple partied like royalty, indulging in the extravagant lifestyle that Monaco is famous for.

Fun around Monaco is never understated, and always costs a fortune!” With so much on the horizon, it’s no wonder the couple decided to let loose and enjoy the moment before the spotlight consumes their every move.
