Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Saturday that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not expected to be invited to Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s June 6 ceremony at All Saints Church, Kemble.
- Reports say Peter’s guest list also excludes Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson as a separate reputational decision tied to recent scrutiny of the Yorks.
- King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales are reported to be expected at the intimate, private service and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are likely to attend.
- Commentators including former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond attribute the exclusions to a desire to keep attention on the bride and groom, and to reflect Peter Phillips’s reported closeness to the Prince of Wales.
- Coverage stresses that these accounts come from royal experts and unnamed sources rather than an official list and that the reported choices underscore the longer running estrangement that began after Harry and Meghan’s 2020 departure from senior royal duties.
