Meghan Markle's Dad Reveals He Didn't Skip Duchess' First Wedding: 'There's Weed'

Meghan Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle Sr., just denied the rumors that he skipped his daughter’s first wedding to Trevor Engelson.

While speaking with Daily Mail, the 74-year-old former lighting director shared a photo of himself with the Duchess of Sussex on her wedding day.

“The picture was taken when I walked into her bungalow just moments before the ceremony was due to start. I was so proud and overcome with emotion to see my baby in a white gown, looking so beautiful. We took the picture and then Doria and I both walked her down the aisle,” he said.

Thomas also said that his daughter took charge of the wedding planning that time.

“Meghan planned everything down to the tiniest detail. She took control of everything. I was given a white shirt to wear, as were all the male guests. She micro-managed everything. Trevor is Jewish and his father, who is a rabbi, conducted the service. But it was not a traditional Jewish ceremony. Meghan read vows she’d written herself,” he shared.

And Thomas also revealed why he didn’t have a photo at his daughter’s actual wedding. He said, he was in his 60s at that time and it took place on the beach. Most of the guests that made it to the venue were in their 30s.

In related news, Markle’s estranged father also shared a shocking detail from Markle and Engelson’s wedding night. He said that party bags which contained weed were given to the guests.

“It’s illegal, but it’s no big deal in Jamaica. It’s almost customary down there. I don’t smoke weed and to the best of my knowledge nor does Meghan. I don’t know what I did with mine. I think I gave it away,” he said.

Markle and Engelson tied the knot in 2011, but they divorced two years later. In 2016, Prince Harry and Markle were introduced to each other by their common friend. A year later, they announced their engagement to the world. On May 19, they tied the knot at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Thomas was unable to attend his daughter’s second wedding because he underwent heart surgery just days earlier.
