US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May have not been invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and US actress Meghan Markle, British media have reported.
Contacted by AFP, a spokesman for Kensington Palace, the prince’s official residence, said: “It has been decided that an official list of political leaders — both UK and international — is not required for Prince Harry and Markle’s wedding”.
Former prime minister David Cameron was invited to the 2011 wedding of Harry’s brother, Prince William, who is second in line to the throne after their father, Prince Charles.
Harry’s place in the line of succession makes this wedding politically less significant and the couple have instead invited youth workers and military veterans to attend the wedding.
Harry is fifth in line to the throne and will soon find himself in sixth place after William’s wife Kate gives birth as expected later this month.
