Gather 'Round, Folks! It's Royal Drama Time
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are back in the spotlight, and this time, it's not just a family rift—it's a full-blown wedding beef! According to reports from the Sunday Times, Prince Harry isn't on the guest list for his friend Hugh Grosvenor's, the Duke of Westminster, wedding. The Duke, who's also Archie's godfather, and his fiancée, Olivia Henson, are tying the knot in June, and this grand event is the talk of the town in the UK.
Before you get your tiaras twisted, let's backtrack a bit. A book titled "Endgame" by Omid Scobie hit the headlines. Scobie, who's no stranger to the royal family, delves into the alleged power struggles within the British monarchy, and guess who's right in the middle of it? That's right, Prince Harry and Meghan.
Prince Archie's godfather and close friend, Hugh Grosvenor, is one of the richest men in the UK. He's also the Duke of Westminster, but being rich and royal doesn't mean he's immune from the family feud. A spokesperson for Grosvenor declined to comment on the rumors, but the Daily Mail reports that William and Kate are expected to attend the ceremony, along with King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Too many cooks spoil the broth, right? So, Grosvenor is reportedly skipping the Sussexes at his wedding to avoid any potential drama between the allegedly estranged brothers, William and Harry. "He wishes they could get together and sort things out, but is aware that is unlikely to happen before the wedding," a friend of the brothers told the Sunday Times.
In other royal news, Oprah's tell-all interview from 2021 reignited some old wounds. Harry and Meghan alleged that there were speculations about the color of their unborn son's skin, and the names of two royals were printed accidentally. The Dutch version of the book "Endgame" initially contained these names, but the publisher later recalled the books. It's a tangled web, isn't it?
Now, let's talk about the wedding itself. Chester Cathedral in the northwest of England is the venue, and the wedding is expected to be an extravagant affair with the King and Queen, as well as Prince William and Kate, in attendance. Unfortunately, Harry and Meghan won't be there. Oh, royal life—always full of surprises!
As always, take this gossip with a grain of salt, and remember, every truth has three versions: his, hers, and the truth. Until next time, keep your tiaras tucked in your corsets!
