Meghan Markle has spoken of her sadness that her father will not be attending her wedding to Prince Harry on Saturday.

Issuing a statement just two days before the ceremony, Ms Markle settled the disputed matter of whether her father will be walking her down the aisle.

"Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding," she said.

"I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health," she added.

Thomas Markle reportedly underwent heart surgery this week and was believed to be recuperating in hospital on Thursday.

Ms Markle added a note of thanks to the public who have been sharing messages of support for the couple and their families.

Mr Markle, 73, allegedly staged paparazzi photographs of himself in the run-up to the wedding at Windsor Castle.

After the allegations surfaced, it began to be reported that Mr Markle would no longer take part in the wedding ceremony.
