Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Reportedly Miss Wedding of Close Friend, Prince William to Attend as Usher

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly decided to miss the wedding of close friend Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, next month. The decision is said to be in an effort to avoid tension with other royal family members, especially as Prince William is set to attend as an usher.

Despite the close link between Grosvenor and Prince Archie’s godparents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to stay away from the nuptials. This comes as King Charles and Princess Kate will also not be in attendance due to their ongoing cancer treatments.

According to reports, Prince William will be one of the 400 guests at the wedding, while Harry and Meghan have opted to skip the event. The Sunday Times reported that the Sussexes declined the invitation to avoid any potential awkward family moments, especially with William playing a role in the wedding party.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams mentioned that things could be “looking up” for Harry and Meghan after their recent trip to Nigeria. The couple celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary and seem to be planning future activities carefully.

As the royal drama continues, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact the relationship between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
