London, England – The Duke of Sussex is deliberately avoiding the upcoming wedding of the Duke of Westminster to prevent any potential conflicts with his brother, the Prince of Wales, who will be serving as an usher. On June 7, Hugh Grosvenor, a 33-year-old billionaire, will tie the knot with Olivia Henson at a lavish celebration at Chester Cathedral. Despite being godfather to Prince Harry’s son, Archie, reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be present at the ceremony to prevent any overshadowing of the event by royal tensions.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary in Los Angeles, following a trip to Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games in Africa. Meanwhile, the King and the Princess of Wales, both currently undergoing cancer treatment, are not expected to attend the wedding. The Duke of Westminster, who is a godson of the King and also godfather to Prince William’s son Prince George, will have Prince William in his groom’s party, according to The Sunday Times.
The Duke of Sussex’s absence from the wedding comes amidst ongoing tensions between the royal family members. Prince Harry was recently snubbed during a visit to the UK when his father declined to meet him and when Prince William was announced to become the colonel-in-chief of his former military regiment. The escalating rift between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family continues to play out publicly as the Duke of Sussex navigates his relationship with his family.
As the Duke of Westminster’s wedding approaches, speculations arise about the absence of the Sussexes and the dynamics within the royal family. The decision to forgo the ceremony reflects the complexities and dynamics at play among the royals, highlighting the ongoing challenges and tensions within the family. Amidst the glamour and celebrations, the absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle brings attention to the fractures within the royal family and the delicate balance of relationships among its members.
