Prince Harry And Andrew Left Off Royal Wedding Guest List

Prince Harry, his embattled uncle, former Prince Andrew, and Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, have all reportedly been snubbed from the wedding ceremony of Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, and his new bride, Harriet Sperling, which takes place next month.

It was already unlikely that Harry would fly to the UK for the nuptials because of his ongoing security concerns, which were reportedly heightened following Andrew’s recent security scare.

Meanwhile, speculation continues to mount over Harry’s relationship with his wife, Meghan Markle, as reports claim she had a “huge shock” after discovering he is not as wealthy as she allegedly believed.

Harry, alongside his embattled uncle Andrew and Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, will reportedly miss out on Princess Anne’s son’s wedding next month.

All three royals are allegedly not invited because of the distraction they could pose to the monarchy amid their individual controversies.

“Peter and Harriet’s wedding is an intimate occasion with their close friends and immediate family around them in the Cotswolds. It’s an area where they grew up and is very special to them both,” a source told Hello! Magazine.

Confirming that Harry wouldn’t be attending, the source explained that the Duke of Sussex and the groom-to-be “haven’t spoken for several years and have simply lost touch,” so it was seemingly decided to leave things that way.

Harry Has Reportedly Lost Touch With Several Old Friends

Harry’s soured relationship with his cousin appears to be one of many that have suffered following his decision to step back from royal duties and relocate abroad. One such bond was with former close pal Jack Mann, whose wedding Harry missed in 2023.

King Charles’ former butler and royal expert Grant Harrold previously weighed in on the apparent rift, claiming Harry cut ties with several friends, especially after he and Meghan started dating.

“I know quite a few of Harry’s friends who don’t hear from him at all now,” Harrold said on behalf of Spin Genie, according to the celebrity.land.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich also claimed that Harry’s relationships with some of his old friends began thinning out after he introduced Meghan to them in 2016, per Fox News Digital.

Prince Harry’s Friends Allegedly Picked Sides After ‘Megxit’

The distance between the UK and Montecito, where Harry and Meghan now reside and are raising their family, also appears to have strained many of those relationships.

According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, many of Harry’s friends were forced to choose sides when he left the country, and the long distance that followed seemingly made the decision easier.

The continued scrutiny surrounding his fallout with the royal family also meant that remaining close to the Duke could be seen as siding against William and the monarchy.

“When ‘Megxit’ first occurred, William and Harry’s friends were forced to choose sides,” Andersen said, per Fox News Digital. “Even brothers like Henry and Thomas Van Straubenzee, the princes’ pals since childhood, were forced to choose one over the other, causing friction in their own families.”

Harry’s Security Fears Grow After Andrew Incident

Harry is expected to fly to the UK this summer for an Invictus Games event. However, according to The Daily Beast, it remains unlikely he will make the trip with Meghan after saying it was “impossible” to bring his family along because of his lack of security in the country.

The father of two has been in court trying to restore his police protection after it was revoked following his decision to step down as a working royal.

His uncle Andrew also suffered the same fate after the revelation of his controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The disgraced former prince recently survived a security scare that saw a masked man allegedly try to get near him close to the Sandringham estate.

Harry was reportedly shaken by the incident.

“Harry was horrified,” an insider told Rob Shuter’s #ShutterScoop. “If someone can get that close to Andrew near a royal estate, then nobody is truly protected anymore.”

Meghan Markle Allegedly Stunned By Prince Harry’s Actual Wealth

Meanwhile, Harry’s relationship dynamic with Meghan remains a subject of keen public interest amid reports of financial strain.

Their multimillion-dollar contract with Netflix was recently downgraded to “first look” terms, and they have also lost their Spotify deal.

Looking in from the outside, Meghan reportedly believed Harry was wealthy enough that they would never have to worry about money again. However, after allegedly seeing the reality of his fortune, she was said to have had a “huge shock.”

“Meghan genuinely believed Harry was worth hundreds of millions,” an insider told Shuter for the May 15 edition of his Substack. “When she discovered the actual numbers, it was a huge shock. Yes, Harry is wealthy, but not ‘private jets forever without worrying’ wealthy.”
