Prince Harry, Meghan join queen at Royal Ascot

Speaking of the controversy after allegedly being caught staging photographs with the paparazzi, Mr Markle told Good Morning Britain: "I spoke to them both and I apologised".

But added: "I was honoured".

The 73-year-old revealed on Monday's Good Morning Britain how Harry asked him for Meghan's hand in marriage, The Sun reports.

They have also announced plans to make an official trip to New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Tonga in October.

In My Fair Lady, Cockney flower-seller Eliza Doolittle - played by Audrey Hepburn - wears a frilly white gown with black and white bows and matching hat as she accompanies Professor Henry Higgins to Ascot while he attempts to teach her to speak properly.

The Q&A with Piers Morgan was Thomas Markle's first television interview, and he talked all about missing his daughter's wedding to Prince Harry last month because he had to have open heart surgery at the last minute. They were seen sharing glances and smiling at each other during the entire ceremony.

In fairness, the inside story did describe the dress as "pitch perfect" for the occasion, suggesting women will take inspiration from the look for the upcoming season at Ascot, the English equivalent of the spring racing carnival (with larger hats).

Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall attend Royal Ascot on June 19.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry pulled out all the stops. "Promise me you will never raise your hand against my daughter and, of course, I give you my permission'". "She did cry", he said. Prince Charles was widely celebrated for walking Meghan Markle to the altar in his place.

"Donald Trump and Brexit, things like that, and he's an interesting guy", Thomas continued. "I sort of disagreed with that". "That was his politics; I have my politics". There was no real commitment to it....

"I can't think of a better replacement than someone like Prince Charles", he told the program.

"I thought this was a nice way of me improving my look".

"I realised it was a serious mistake".

Talking about the moment he told his daughter and her husband-to-be that he would not make the wedding, Markle said, "They were disappointed". "That really upsets me somewhat".
