In her first joint interview with Prince Harry, Meghan revealed that Harry was yet to meet her father but that the pair had spoken several times. 

“I’m sure the onset, both my parents and my close friends were concerned, because we got very quickly swept up in a media storm that, as I shared, was not part of my life before that, but they also had never seen me so happy,” the Suits actress told the BBC.

“And I think also once my friends – excuse me, were able to – to really meet Harry, and my mum, who we’ve spent a lot of time with, who is so much fun.”

“Her mum’s amazing,” Harry added. 

It’s been rumoured that Meghan is considering having her mother walk her down the aisle, however, today her half-sister Samantha Markle said Thomas will definitely be doing the honour.

“Any rumour to the contrary is… My favourite new word is becoming ‘oh rubbish,'” Samantha told US tv show The Wright Stuff.
