Who is and isn’t invited to the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been up for much speculation – and sadly, a point of contention for some.

It’s been a subject that Meghan’s half brother, Thomas Markle Jnr, claims has been ‘tearing her family apart’, after he revealed that he had not received an invite along with Meghan’s other half-siblings, aunts and cousins.

The only relatives thought to be attending the nuptials were Meghan’s mother, Doria Radlan, and her father, Thomas Markle, who was believed to be walking her down the aisle.

However, a new interview with royal biographer Andrew Morton – AKA, someone very in the know on all things royal – has suggested Meghan’s father Thomas isn’t even invited.

Speaking to GoodHousekeeping.com, Morton – who released his biography of Meghan Markle titled Meghan Markle: A Hollywood Princess last week – had some interesting thoughts when asked about the guest list.

“It would be very sad if the guest list overshadows the wedding. [Meghan’s half sister] Samantha … feels that some members of the Markle family should have been invited,” he told the publication.

“It is ironic that a few days before the wedding, there will be a Markle Coat of Arms. Traditionally, that’s presented to the father. As I speak now, it’s not certain that he’s even going. I spoke to members of the Markle family over the weekend, and they said that not one Markle has been invited, and that includes the father. So, go figure.”

Yes you heard that right.

He went on: “At the moment, he doesn’t seem to have his invitation. As far as I’m aware, he doesn’t have an air ticket accommodation, or anything else. It looks increasingly like it will be Doria Radlan (Meghan’s mother), who will walk her down the aisle.”

There’s also been speculation that Prince William might step up to the occasion should her father not be attending.

Meghan and Harry also chose not to invite Donald Trump, Theresa May and the Obamas to their nuptials.
