Meghan Markle has been dealing with ongoing family drama, and now she’s released her first official statement.

Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health,” she said. “I would like to thank everyone who has offered generous messages of support. Please know how much Harry and I look forward to sharing our special day with you on Saturday.”

A royal source told People magazine that Meghan “is very concerned about her father. But equally, she is excited about her wedding. She is with her mother and with her best friends, and is preparing for one of the most magical days of her life.”

Her father recently had a successful heart operation, but before that was caught doing a photo op for paparazzi for upwards of $100K.
