Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Snubbed from Duke of Westminster’s Wedding
It seems that tensions within the royal family are at an all-time high as Prince Harry, 39, and his wife, Meghan Markle, 42, have reportedly been excluded from the upcoming wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, 32.
Grosvenor, who is a godfather to both Prince William’s eldest son, George, and Harry’s son, Archie, initially wanted to invite the Sussexes to his wedding. However, fears of their presence overshadowing the nuptials to Olivia Henson, 30, led him to make the decision to exclude them from the guest list.
A spokesperson for Grosvenor declined to comment on the guest list, but sources close to the family claim that Grosvenor wishes to avoid any awkwardness on his special day.
The exclusion comes amid the release of “Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” a book that details several negative incidents within the royal family, including Prince William allegedly undermining his brother and sister-in-law, and Charles mocking Harry and Meghan.
Royal expert Sarah Hewson has also revealed that there are “no plans” for William and Harry to reconcile, and they are not expected to attend the royal family’s Christmas gathering at Sandringham.
As the rift within the royal family continues to widen, it remains to be seen whether there will be any efforts made to repair the strained relationships. With the exclusion of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the Duke of Westminster’s wedding, it appears that the divisions within the royal family are far from resolved.
