There was also some speculation that Markle’s mother Doria Ragland, who [had tea](http://time.com/5281663/meghan-markle-mother-royal-tea/) with Harry’s father Prince Charles and his wife Camilla on Wednesday, would walk her down the aisle. The royal wedding will take place at St. George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Saturday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5282023/meghan-markle-prince-charles/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5282023/meghan-markle-prince-charles/"},"headline":"Prince Charles Will Walk Meghan Markle Down the Aisle at the Royal Wedding","datePublished":"2018-05-18T09:41:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:56.253Z","description":"Markle's father pulled out of the wedding due to a health condition","url":"https://time.com/5282023/meghan-markle-prince-charles/","keywords":["Newsfeed","United Kingdom","royal wedding","onetime","overnight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54d97f6738c34125/698930afdb29877beb25faec/gettyimages-922936156.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Casey Quackenbush","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/casey-quackenbush/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt54d97f6738c34125/698930afdb29877beb25faec/gettyimages-922936156.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Prince Of Wales And Duchess Of Cornwall Present The Queen's Anniversary Prizes For Higher And Further Education","caption":"The Prince Of Wales And Duchess Of Cornwall Present The Queen's Anniversary Prizes For Higher And Further Education","creditText":"Leon Neal—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5282023/meghan-markle-prince-charles/","name":"Prince Charles Will Walk Meghan Markle Down the Aisle at the Royal Wedding"}}]}] ```
