I was just wondering that. Where will Mr. Markle stay? I’m surprised he wasn’t included in the press announcement. Perhaps a hotel of his own choice? Maybe with William and Harry? The man do need to get to know his son-in-law. We know Mr. Middleton stayed at the Goring Hotel with Catherine, Carole, Pippa and James.

He may be staying in the same hotel as Meghan. I'm sure Doria will be near her daughter too.

[Rudolph]

I doubt he’s staying with William and Harry. It would have been announced, just like they did for Doria. He wasn’t mentioned at all.

Maybe he’s staying in a hotel at the airport.

with a minder.

SEVERAL minder's..

I doubt it. If they put him up in the Castle, it'll allow him to avoid most of the crowd that day.

I'm not surprised. I had a suspicion that her dad wouldn't be staying at the same place when it was announced Doria will ride over with her. It'd just be odd for him to ride over by himself. Michael Middleton was a different situation as he was the one that rode over to WA with Kate.

Perhaps Mr. Markle will stay at Windsor.

Why would her father be joining them?

Why would her father be joining them?

Especially as they've never met him..

Only certain people's accommodations are announced: basically, those for whom KP courts press attention on the drive to the wedding. If the plan is for Meghan's father to quietly drive to the castle complex after leaving his hotel through a back door then we'll never be told where he stays.

We wouldn’t have to guess where Mr. Markle will stay if they just had just mentioned his accommodations. He’s part of the wedding party after all.

Michael Middleton and Catherine's mother are married--Tom Markle Sr is no longer married to Meghan's mother and hasn't been for some time.

I doubt that has anything to do with it. I'm sure Cliveden has enough rooms to accomodate.

That's not true. We don't know where the rest of the wedding party is staying. Heck, we don't even know who they are yet.

We don't need to know where Mr. Markle is staying. What has been released is to make public the information that is needed for press and photographers and onlookers to be able to be on hand and film and capture the way the bride and the groom get to the Castle and subsequently to the Chapel.

Its been understood that Mr. Markle would already be at the Chapel and ready to walk his daughter down the aisle once she arrives there. The focus for getting to the Castle will be on Meghan and Doria from one place and Harry and William from another.

Oh. If you all really want to know, there's a new development in the Tom Sr. photo story. As its off topic, I'm just going to suggest one do a google search and see what pops up.

[Jacknch]

The locations for both the bride and groom the night before the wedding look amazing although I felt sure they'd be a little closer to Windsor (and Windsor Castle itself for Harry) - but it's good news as there will be interesting coverage to watch as they travel to the wedding.

The suggestion that it will enable Harry & William to be seen along the Long Walk makes great sense. It also gives reasoning behind the stop at Windsor Castle to allow Doria to join the congregation before Meghan continues to the main entrance of the Chapel.

HARRY AND MEGHAN’S SECRET WEDDING WISH-LIST REVEALED
13 May 2018 19:23

So after personally selecting seven charities and advising wedding gifts to give them donations, it appears Prince Harry and Meghan will be getting some pressies after all.

The couple have a private wedding list for close friends and family, The Sunday Times has revealed.

With rumours the pair are house-hunting in the country to add to their two-bed home in Kensington Palace, it now seems they have decided how they might fill it.

The Royals have asked for presents to come from Soho House, the uber-trendy global chain of clubs and restaurants that looks to “create a comfortable home away from home.”

And so on the list we have a Luca green velvet double bedstead, retailing for the equivalent of AU$4,000, a vintage tray top brass oval bar cart ($2,300) or a backgammon roll ($330).

As fun as it is to know lots of things about this wedding, where Mr. Markle stays is none of our business if he or KP don't feel like sharing that information. Especially if they're hoping to arrange things so he can move between hotel and whatever else he does during his visit quickly, with minimal media coverage aside from the ceremony itself.

We can rule out Rihanna from the guestlist.

Before I get smartass comments, this is just some fun. Not meant to be serious.

Meghan's father is not going to the Royal Wedding.

Meghan Markle's father will not be walking her down the aisle Saturday ... he isn't going to the wedding at all because of the fallout over selling photos of himself ... TMZ has learned.

Thomas Markle tells TMZ, he meant no harm to Meghan or the Royal Family when he made a deal to allow a photo agency to take pics of him getting ready for the wedding. He says he had a reason and it was not principally about money.

Markle tells us over the last year he's been ambushed by paparazzi who have photographed him in the most unflattering circumstances ... buying beer, looking disheveled and reclusive. He's especially upset that they made him look like a lush. Thomas says he doesn't even drink beer ... he was buying it for the guards at the place where he lives.

He says since his daughter started dating Prince Harry he's been offered anywhere between $50,000 and $100k for interviews and he's turned all of them down.

Thomas says the paparazzi agency approached him, offered him money -- though nowhere near the reported $100k -- and he figured there was no harm in it and it would help recast his image.

He admits the pics look "stupid and hammy." He says he was just going along with the paparazzi agency, which he now deeply regrets.

And, Thomas says, he suffered a heart attack 6 days ago but checked himself out of the hospital so he could attend the wedding. He's now decided not to go because he doesn't want to embarrass the Royal Family or his daughter.
