Kensington Palace is a hot minute away from sending out the wedding invitations for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big day…
But alas, Harry’s aunt Sarah Ferguson has reportedly been left off the list once again.
The Duchess of York had hoped she’d score a seat at the wedding of the year (behind her daughter’s Princess Eugenie’s nuptials to Jack Brooksbank in October).
According to The Sun, 600 invites are expected to go out this week for the ceremony on Saturday, May 19.
And it is rather likely Prince Andrew’s ex-wife isn’t one of them.
Harry is very protective of his big day.
“The Duchess of York is not invited to Harry’s wedding,” a source told the publication.
“The invites are being sent out this week and she’s not on the list.”
A friend explained the decision, sharing, “Harry and Meghan have been close to Eugenie and Jack, which had increased Fergie’s hopes of getting an invite.”
“But Harry doesn’t trust Fergie to keep her mouth shut and respect their privacy.”
Fergie isn’t close to many of the royals anymore.
And it looks like the groom-to-be is following his big brother’s lead.
Prince William decided to leave his aunt off the list for his 2011 royal wedding to Kate Middleton.
And it seems Harry’s side isn’t the only ones missing out, with Meghan having a tense relationship with her half siblings Samantha and Tom.
Fergie, 58, has a frosty relationship with the royal family following a string of controversies.
Fergie is still very close to her ex.
Speaking to her pal Oprah about being excluded from Will and Kate’s wedding, she admitted she was very hurt – choosing to watch it on TV while in Thailand.
“I felt that I ostracised myself by my behaviour, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes?”
“I chose to go and be in Thailand in a place called Kamalaya…the jungle embraced me.”
Fergie branded the decision as “so difficult.”
“I wanted to be there with my girls… to be getting them dressed and to go as a family.”
