On The Wedding Speech That Never Was

As Thomas Markle was getting ready to see his daughter marry Prince Harry, he started working on his father of the bride speech. "I worked on a little speech, whether I got to say it or not," he explained. "The little speech actually had the phone calls I talked about, and how Meghan introduced this guy, this nice guy from England, this Prince. And that was part of the story and then I went on to basically thank the Royal Family for opening up to my child. That would have been the speech."

Meghan's dad also took the time to explain how "The preparations for all of this were done by my daughter, who worked really hard to get everything ready for me if I came there. I feel bad that she put all that work in and I didn't do it. But I couldn't do much about it laying on a couch with a bad heart."
