It’s the royal scoop of the century, and it’s juicier than a freshly squeezed orange at Buckingham Palace. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially been hit with the “You’re Not Invited” stamp for this year’s extravaganza – the society wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and the dazzling Olivia Henson, age 32 going on fabulous.
Picture this: Chester Cathedral is gearing up for the shindig of the year on June 7, and guess who won’t be making a grand entrance? That’s right, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are about as invited as a raccoon at a garden party. Ouch!
But hold your laughter, because the plot thickens. Despite being BFFs with Harry and having Prince William on speed dial, Hugh Grosvenor is apparently playing hard to get with those wedding invites. Why, you ask? Well, rumor has it that he’s trying to avoid a royal rumble, steering clear of any sibling showdowns.
And who’s on the VIP list, you ask? The usual suspects – Kate Middleton and William are all set to grace the occasion, along with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Talk about a star-studded affair! Grosvenor, the big 3-0 godparent to William and Kate’s mini-me, Prince George, has decided to give the Sussex duo the royal snub. Maybe he’s onto something – nothing ruins a wedding like a family feud, especially in the land of crowns and curtsies.
Now, for a bit of history. Grosvenor isn’t just a random guy with a title – he’s practically family. He’s Charles’ godson, and if that’s not enough, Prince William’s godmother is his very own mum. The Sunday Times spilled the tea, claiming he’s even got a spot in Prince Archie’s godparent squad. Talk about being the godfather of all godfathers!
In case you forgot, William and Harry have a history of playing wedding ushers, and back in 2004, they were the dynamic duo at Lady Tamara Grosvenor’s wedding bash. Fast forward to today, and it seems like the royal bromance has hit a speed bump.
An unnamed friend of the princes spilled the Earl Grey in The Sunday Times, saying, “It’s incredibly sad it has come to this. Hugh is one of 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 put their heads together and patch things up, but realizes it’s unlikely to happen before the wedding. He wanted to avoid anything overshadowing the day, especially for Olivia and doesn’t want any awkwardness.”
The royal saga continues, and this wedding is shaping up to be more dramatic than a Shakespearean play. Grab your popcorn and tiaras, because it’s going to be a bumpy carriage ride through the kingdom of love and invitations!
