Camilla, Duchess of CornwalldescribedPrince HarryandMeghan Markle’sroyal weddingas “uplifting,” but admitted that even the royal family hadn’t been sure “what would happen next” in an apparent referenceto the family drama that ensuedin the days leading up to the ceremony.
During a visit to 5 News in London on Wednesday, Camilla told reporters: “It was such a lovely day. Just everything went right. We all wondered whatever would happen next and then everything went right.”
Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle was set to walk his daughter down the aisle, but in the days leading up to the ceremony he made headlines after admitting he hadstaged paparazzi photosand didn’t want to embarrass his daughter or the royal family any further. What followed was several days of back-and-forth as Thomas, who lives in Mexico, initially walked back his decision not to attend and then ultimately announced that his health would keep him from traveling to the U.K.
