One of the royals has reportedly not been invited to the wedding reception

Looks like Meghan isn’t the only one with family drama.

Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has reportedly not been invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s evening wedding reception.

Sarah is the ex-wife of Harry’s uncle Prince Andrew and mum to his cousins Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.

The Daily Mail reports that she will attend the ceremony at St George’s Chapel on 19 May but that she hasn’t been asked to the evening reception.

Her ex-husband and daughters have all been invited to the private do, which is being hosted by Prince Charles.

The duchess is said to be upset at the snub.

“Numbers are limited to the evening party, she is not a member of the Royal Family any more and Prince Charles simply doesn’t have time for her,” a royal insider said.

“He just can’t see why she is still such a big part of his brother’s life.”

Sarah wasn’t invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011.

Meanwhile, Kensington Palace confirmed this week that both of Meghan’s father will walk her down the aisle on her big day.

“On the morning of the wedding, Ms Ragland will travel with Ms Markle by car to Windsor Castle. Mr Markle will walk his daughter down the aisle of St George’s Chapel.”

There had been speculation that Thomas Markle wouldn’t attend because of Meghan’s estrangement from that side of the family.

Meghan won’t have any of her close friends as bridesmaids on the day, the palace also said, and instead, her bridal party will include younger bridesmaids and page boys believed to be from the royal family.
