Hopes Meghan Markle's father would be able to walk her down the aisle, the economy and a report on the collapse of Carillion top the agenda on Wednesday.
Thomas Markle said he intended to travel to Britain to take part in Saturday's ceremony, although later reports suggested he will miss the event as he has to undergo heart surgery on Wednesday.
