As Prince Charles walked his new daughter-in-law Meghan Markle down the second half of the aisle at St. George's Chapel, the beaming bride was walking calmly and confidently on the arm of the next King of England.

Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, had escorted the bride to the church before Markle walked the first half of the aisle on her own.
