Duke Hugh Withdraws Sussex Invite as Meghan Markle's Request to Bring Paparazzi to His Wedding Raises Red Flags

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again making headlines, this time for allegedly being snubbed from an invitation to a high society wedding, none other than that of Prince Archie Mountbatten's grandfather, Duke Grosner. First things first, initial reports suggest that the Duke of Westminster, who is seventh in line to the prestigious title, will marry Olivia Henson in a grand affair at Chester Cathedral on June 7th, 2024. Although Prince Archie's godfather and a longtime friend of Harry's, it seems unlikely that the Sussexes would have made the guest list.

But before you jump to conclusions, Harry and Meghan were quick to respond to these claims, arguing that they themselves turned down the invitation. A source close to the couple revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were initially booked in but decided it would be too awkward to attend. According to Page Six, Prince Harry personally called Hugh Grosner to explain why they wouldn't be celebrating his big day. This is where the drama escalates even further. The insider revealed that Harry had actually received the save-the-date card in advance but called Hug

It seems Harry and Meghan have mastered the art of avoiding encounters with the royal family.The plot thickened when Buckingham Palace and the Duke of Westminster's representatives kept quiet about the wedding's guest list. However, a friend of both Prince Harry and William spoke to the Sunday Times and shed some light on the situation.

 The friend insisted that the Duke of Westminster wanted to avoid overshadowing the day, especially for his daughter-in-law. They mentioned that he was one of William and Harry's very close friends and that they had maintained a strong relationship and line of communication. This made them both even more attractive. 

The friend expressed a wish for the brothers to reconcile but admitted that it was unlikely to happen before the wedding. He wished they could come to terms with each other and patch things up but realized that it was unlikely to happen before the wedding.

The billionaire Duke of Westminster officially announced his engagement to Olivia Henson in June of this year, proposing at the family's stunning Eaton Hall in Cheshire.

In short, the royal family drama continues, with Harry and Meghan adding another chapter to the saga of royal gatherings. Whether they were snubbed or gracefully declined, the Duke of Westminster's wedding has certainly taken center stage for another episode of the Sussex soap opera.
