The source added: “Some of the royals aren’t happy about the idea, so they suggested that William do it.”

The reports come after Meghan’s sister Samantha, 53, insisted that her dad WOULD be fulfilling the traditional wedding role of the father of the bride – including making a speech.

Samantha, from Florida, said: “Of course my father wants to speak at the wedding and he will.

“He is proud and looks forward to it.”

Kensington Palace declined to comment on the latest reports about who will attend the wedding.
