It turns out that Prince William and Kate Middleton were very concerned about their wedding guest list in those days.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who married at Westminster Abbey in 2011, made it clear that not a single member of the royal family has been invited.
Royal expert Russell Myers’ new book, William & Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story, says the couple banned Sarah Ferguson from the wedding.
“Like every wedding, there were disputes over the guest list,” Myers said. “In a sign of his growing stature, and mindful of his future position within the family, William decided that his aunt Sarah Ferguson would not be welcome at the wedding.”
He shared: “Sources claim their decision was based on concerns that the (former) Duchess of York, who was embroiled in a number of misdemeanors following her exit from the royal family, would be an embarrassment.”
The expert added: “Fergie, as she was known in the press, was ostracized by the family following her 1996 divorce (from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) and subsequent scandal.”
