Reports said he raked in more than $100,000 for the phony photo shoot.
Markle's father was accused over the weekend by a British newspaper of staging photos for paparazzi near his home in Mexico.
Meghan Markle pleading with her father to still attend her wedding after he reportedly said he no longer wants to walk her down the aisle following a report alleging he staged photographs with a paparazzi photographer.
Dad was busted selling staged paparazzi photos of himself ahead of the big day.
“This is a deeply personal moment for Ms. Markle in the days before her wedding. She and Prince Harry ask again for understanding and respect to be extended to Mr. Markle in this difficult situation.” Kensington Palace said in a statement.
“The bad press over my father doing staged photos is my fault,” Samantha Markle — Meghan’s half-sister — tweeted from a protected account, according to the Daily Mail. “The media was unfairly making him look bad so I suggested he do positive photos for his benefit and the benefit of the royal family.”
