As reported by The Sunday Times, Hugh Grosvenor, the godfather to both Prince Archie (4) and Prince George (10), has opted not to extend an invitation to his longtime friends Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for his upcoming summer wedding next year.
Instead, he has chosen to invite King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton, representing the British monarchy.
The decision to exclude the Sussexes from the wedding guest list stems from the escalating tensions between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the Royal Family.
According to an insider, Grosvenor's primary motivation is to prevent any additional drama from overshadowing his significant day.
In what is described as an "incredibly sad" situation, a friend of King Charles' sons revealed, "Hugh is one of the very few close friends of William and Harry's who has maintained strong bonds and a line of communication with both. He wishes they could reconcile, but he acknowledges that it's unlikely to happen before the wedding."
The insider emphasized Grosvenor's desire to ensure that nothing detracts from the joyous occasion, especially for his fiancée Olivia, and to avoid any potential awkwardness. This decision comes amid a new wave of tensions between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family, sparked by the revelation of alleged 'racist royals' in the Dutch version of Omid Scobie's recently released book, "Endgame."
