Meghan Markle’s Dad Will Now Skip The Royal Wedding

After Meghan Markle’s dad was busted staging a photo of himself ahead of the royal wedding that he sold to paparazzi, he is now skipping out on the event.

Thomas Markle decided to bow out so as not to embarrass Meghan, TMZ reports. Kensington Palace said in a statement: “This is a deeply personal moment for Ms. Markle in the days before her wedding. She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr. Markle in this difficult situation.”

Thomas also claimed he had a heart attack six days ago, but had checked himself out of the hospital in anticipation of walking Meghan down the aisle. Reports said he raked in more than $100,000 for the phony photo shoot.
