Prince William is slated to serve as an usher at the upcoming wedding of his friend, the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor. However, notable absences are expected, as King Charles and Prince Harry will reportedly not attend the event due to underlying tensions within the royal family.

Rumors suggest that past grievances, particularly involving a perceived snub towards Queen Camilla at a previous wedding, may have contributed to the decision. The Duke’s sister’s wedding in 2004 saw the King and Queen decline their invitations, leading to speculation about lingering animosities.

Reports also indicate that Prince Harry may opt out of attending to avoid exacerbating any family tensions that could overshadow the celebratory occasion. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly chosen not to attend, despite Grosvenor’s close relationship with Harry, who is a godfather to their son, Prince Archie.

Prince Harry is also expected to miss the event out of concern that his attendance could embarrass his family. Furthermore, he thinks that with their long-standing relationship, if he shows up, there will be two people opening the wedding of the year.

As details surrounding the wedding continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how the royal family dynamics will impact the proceedings. Nevertheless, the celebration is expected to be a joyous occasion, marking the union of two individuals amidst the backdrop of familial complexities.
