Who’s getting snubbed at the royal wedding?
Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second
When one thinks of “royals” one thinks of people blessed with a certain gentile fortune that extends beyond the throne, but that wouldn’t always be the case because the kings and the queens have their prejudices just like the rest of us. That is in evidence with the guest list at the royal wedding as some very important people have been excluded.
Here’s the story summary from our friends at Newser who got it from The New York Times:
With just three days left before the royal wedding, the inevitable complaints of guest list snubs are coming to the surface. News came out over the weekend that the last two British prime ministers weren’t invited, and now the New York Times notes that some of Princess Diana’s close friends were also excluded. Some have speculated that Prince Charles’s second wife, Camilla, vetoed any potential guests who may have been on Diana’s side in the divorce, but palace officials insist that a lack of space is to blame.
“This is essentially a personal wedding, albeit with enormous public attention,” says a spokesperson for Prince Charles. Somebody might want to mention that to Lily Allen: The Mirror notes that the English musician is peeved that she was left off the list while fellow musician Joss Stone was included. “well, you can quote me as ‘outraged’, why does bloody Joss Stone get an invite and not moi? I sang at the Diana concert too!” she tweeted, later adding that Stone is “a stoner.” Of course, she later noted that she was “being sarcastic.”
So are you outraged by the snubs? Do you care? Let us know in the comments section.

Isn’t this just a regular wedding albeit a couple of famous people, since neither of them really have a title yet? Maybe this shows my total ignorance of the way monarchies work but oh well. I think I read somewhere the two of them invited the guy that runs the bar they go to and some of the people in the village they live. Isn’t that who you want at your wedding, people that you know and like, instead of big wigs and mucky mucks who think they are important.
I’ll catch it on reruns during the day, I’m not setting my alarm for it like a few people I know, Idiots all.
Unlike most everybody I know I’m going to watch this. I just love the pomp and circumstance.
