from buckingham palace, oui’ the wedding.itchell has this update. the picture really is absolutely unclear tonight. a few hours ago, the celebrity gossip entertainment website tmz which was the first to report that thomas markle would not be attending the wedding has reported he has changed his mind and announced that he wanted to come to the wedding to hearing from his daughter. there is one major problem, he is in hospital, it has been reported that he suffered chest pains and suffered a heart attack a few days ago. it has been reported he is undergoing tests and suggested that he may be having surgery tomorrow. if that is correct, and it has not been confirmed, i think that would rule out him being at st george's chapel on saturday. i think meghan markle, as much she has wanted herfather to be there to walk her down the aisle, her major concern now is for her father's health and wellbeing. tonight, to the question — will be will the father of the bride get to the church on time? there is still no definitive answer. nichola

our correspondent simon clemison is at buckingham palace this morning.f this letter? good morning to you, christian. anyone might seek the blessing of their parents or grandparents, but in royal circles that process ends in paperwork. it is because about 200 years ago there was a highly controversial marriage and it was decided after that that the monarch would have to give written consent if any of the descendants wanted to tie the knot. that law has been changed now a bit, sojust the tie the knot. that law has been changed now a bit, so just the first six in line to the throne had to do that. of course, when harry got engaged he was fifth in line to the throne. now louis has been born, he is sixth. the queen has to give her consent, and she has done that as we can see from this document. it is very unlikely she would have said no and would only have done so on the advice of the prime minister. if she had, he still could have gotten married, but wouldn't have been able to become king. and meghan markle's pa rents to become king. and meghan markle's pare

we saw that when the buckingham palace issued the statement around the engagement to say hey, everyone is intolerable. and the fact that buckingham palace made that statement is extraordinary. >> the british press have not been kind to meghan's family. racist undertones. >> it goes to show that discrimination exists everywhere. we know within the u.k. there have been issues around bias certainly in terms around discrimination against black immigrants, certainly coming from the caribbean. there was that whole keep britain white campaign a few decades ago. but the fact that the royal family hopped in and said, no, we see where in is trending, we're going to strop this aop tt allow this to occur, that's important. and meghan has spent her life dealing with the ignorance and has been a model of elegance and sophisticated wherewithal and stand up and say this is who i am and this is what my experience is. other people are like me but they don't have the platform, they don't have the spotlight that i have and i'm going to change the conversation for the good. >> you'll be watching. i know yo

she doesn't own windsor castle nor buckingham palace. they sit in a charity along with the crown jewels the queen can use them but not sell them. most of the queen's income comes from the crown estate which she also does not own. it has a value of $16 billion, stemming from large amounts of property in london and 2 million acres outside of it. she receives the sovereign grant each year, 15% of total income generated by the crown estate. last year that came to $5 million. the remaining 85% goes to the uk government she also gets $20 million per year from a private pool of capital that existed for the sovereign since the 1300s. again, she has no access to the capital. similarly her son, charles, the prince of wales, gets his own income of about $20 million a year it's up to the queen and the prince of wales how they disperse that income among their children >>> brian, prince william, when he becomes prince of wales and king, will inherit those sources of income. prince harry always has to make sure he's on good terms with his older brother
