Why Prince Harry Declined Invite to Hugh Grosvenor's Wedding Amid Royal Rift

Prince William is making headlines as an usher at the high society wedding of his son George’s godfather Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster.

William was photographed mingling outside the nuptials of Grosvenor and Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral on Friday.

William and Harry were both ushers at the 2004 wedding of Hugh’s sister, but Harry reportedly declined his invite to Hugh’s nuptials to avoid the royal rift being a focal point.

“Extra’s” Billy Bush spoke with DailyMail.com editor Charlie Lankston, who believes it’s a “terrible sign” of the royal feud.

She shared her take on the drama, saying, "Now, this is considered to be the society wedding of the year. There are going to be photographers, there are going to be royal fans all turning out. So, all eyes would've been on Harry and William at this event.

“What we understand is that Harry was not snubbed as was initially suggested, that he was invited, but that he had a conversation with the groom and it was effectively decided that if Harry was going to attend, the only thing anyone would be talking about was his feud with William.

“Between Harry and his friend, the groom, it was decided that it would be best if Harry just stayed away on this occasion,” Charlie commented.

It is to be noted the King Charles is also Hugh’s godfather.

William and Harry aside, royal watchers are still wondering if Princess Kate attend the upcoming Trooping the Colour amid her cancer treatment.

Kate hasn’t made a public appearance with the royal family since December.

A new report says she might never return to her previous royal roles in the same way.

When asked if people have the right to know about Kate’s health, Charlie took more of the empathetic stance. She said, “It’s an incredibly fine line. At the end of the day, she is still a human being. She is still deserving of some privacy, and I think when there are three young children involved especially, her privacy needs to be protected.”
