Meghan’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., wrote a letter to Prince Harry to call off the wedding to Meghan. He also claimed that Meghan was planning to shun her dad Thomas Sr. by not inviting him – but a spokesperson for royal residence Kensington Palace said both he and her mother Doria would attend the ceremony in Windsor, England on 19 May.
“The first thing I would like to share is that Prince Harry and Ms Markle are very much looking forward to welcoming Ms Markle’s parents to Windsor for the wedding,” the palace representative explains.
Meghan’s parents will travel to the U.K. several days before their daughter officially becomes a royal to meet their new family – including Queen Elizabeth II and Harry’s dad Prince Charles.
Prince Harry and Meghan will also welcome the family of his late mother Princess Diana, to their wedding and her three siblings – Lady Sarah McCorquodale; Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer and Baroness Jane Fellowes are all invited.
“Prince Harry and Ms Markle both feel honoured that Lady Jane will be representing her family and helping to celebrate the memory of the late Princess on the wedding day,” the palace statement reads.
Diana divorced Prince Charles in 1996 and tragically died in a car crash in Paris, France at the age of 36 the following year.
The palace officials also stated that they will make more details of the couple’s plans available to the public before the wedding, including who will act as bridesmaids and page boys.
