Meghan Markle’s dad fears he will sweat so much at the royal wedding — that he’ll need to wear a WETSUIT
MEGHAN Markle’s father has joked that he may need to wear a wetsuit to the royal wedding because he will sweat so much due to nerves.
Shy Thomas Markle, 73, made the comment as he went on a fishing trip.
The ex-Hollywood lighting director will walk Meghan down the aisle to marry Prince Harry at Windsor Castle next month.
A source said: “Thomas said he would be at the royal wedding as Meghan was his daughter.
“He said he was over the moon to walk her down the aisle and joked that he’d need to wear a wetsuit because he’d be sweating bullets!
“He said he never thought something like this would happen. I don’t think he could believe that his family were going to be part of the royal family.”
Thomas — who is yet to meet Harry, 33 — made the comments to a fishing dock worker in Baja California, Mexico.
This week Thomas was spotted with an Images of Britain book, boning up on all things to do with the UK.
Meghan, 36, is said to adore her dad and on Instagram described his hugs as the “very best in the whole wide world”.
He married Meghan’s mum Doria, a yoga instructor, in 1979. They divorced in 1988.

In a post on her now-deleted blog, Meghan mentioned his love for fishing in a tribute to him.
She said: “The fishing trips along the Kern River and Big Bear Lake to catch catfish or trout for dinner, and the commitment he made to lighting my high school musicals so they felt as grand as a Broadway show.
“The blood, sweat and tears this man invested in my future so I could grow up and have so much.”
