Meghan Markle will make a striking feminist statement in her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday, choosing not to be chaperoned for much of the procession down the aisle of St. George’s Chapel, Windsor.
In an unprecedented step for a royal bride in the UK, Meghan will walk unescorted down the aisle of the chapel nave, after being met at the West Door by a member of the clergy. She will be accompanied in this first part of the wedding procession only by her bridesmaids and page boys, with the senior church figure walking ahead.
Prince Charles will join her when she reaches the Quire, where the main royal guests will be seated. The Prince — Harry’s father — will walk Meghan down the Quire aisle to the foot of the altar.
But Charles will not give her away to her husband-to-be in the traditional sense; instead, he will stand back as Meghan approaches Prince Harry.
Royal watchers are saying Meghan’s decision indicates that she wishes to assert herself as a strong, independent woman who is prepared to challenge royal norms.

That would suck.” Schumer added, “It’s like, her girls from high school aren’t going to be there. All my friends were high and drunk at my wedding. It’s like a parade, it’s like the Westminster Dog Show. It’s all pomp and circumstance.” Schumer got married to chef Chris Fischer in February in an intimate surprise ceremony.
