Who is not invited to the Royal Wedding?

Apart from majority of citizens, some well-known names were expected to be invited to the wedding but are not.

This includes Barack and Michelle Obama, Theresa May and Donald Trump.

A Kensington palace spokesperson told royal reporter Richard Palmer that there will be not official guest list for the wedding.

This is because Prince Harry is not likely to be a future king like Prince William.

A KP spokesman says: “It has been decided that an official list of political leaders – both UK and international – is not required for Prince Harry and Ms. Markle's wedding. Her Majesty's Government was consulted on this decision, which was taken by The Royal Household.”
