Prince Harry and The Suits actress Markle wanted to the former president and first lady to join their May 19 Windsor Castle wedding. However, the government mandarins had reportedly pleaded the couple to change their mindset as Great Britain's relationship with the US president Donald Trump has turned cold since the election last year.

 

President Trump will not be invited because the wedding will be for friends and family only.

It won't be a state occasion. If Mr. Obama was invited, the invitation could look like a snub to Mr. Trump, and His Royal Highness would not wish to cause a diplomatic row.
