Does the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feel like it was about 100 years ago to you too? So very much has happened since the couple tied the knot in Windsor on May 19. And that includes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent official overseas tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand. They kicked that off days after Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding by dropping some big news: They’re expecting their first child in the spring. Like I said, a lot has happened.

Still, any new tidbits about that magical royal wedding day are always welcome—and the latest comes from Prince Harry himself.

In a new documentary celebrating the seventieth birthday of Prince Charles—Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70—the Duke of Sussex opens up about asking his dad to walk Markle down the aisle. At the time her own father, Thomas Markle, was making headlines because he backed out of attending the wedding, citing health issues.

“I asked him to, and I think he knew it was coming, and he immediately said, ‘Yes, of course, I’ll do whatever Meghan needs and I’m here to support you,’” Harry says in the documentary. “For him that’s a fantastic opportunity to step up and be that support, and you know he’s our father, so of course he’s gonna be there for us.”

Who can forget that sweet father-son moment when Charles and Markle arrived at the end of the aisle and Harry said, “Thank you, pa.” Looking back on it, Harry says, “You’ve gotta say thank you. Just because he’s my father that doesn’t mean I can just sort of go, ‘OK, that’s all, I’ll take it from here.’”

“I was very grateful for him to be able to do that,” he adds.

Charles’ wife, Camilla, also opens up about the day in the documentary—and reveals that royals had the wedding on replay just like us. “I think that was very touching, sitting where I was, you couldn’t hear what he said,” she says. “But afterward watching it on the television, I…I think it was a very…it was a lovely gesture.”

Camilla also offered a little insight into her husband’s relationship with Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland. “A lot of people, seeing my husband actually take the bride’s mother by the hand to sign the registry, it’s something that moved everybody,” she explains. “It’s the things he does behind the scenes that people don’t know about. I don’t think people realize quite how kind he is.”
