Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a>‘s feud with Prince William<\/strong><\/a>might have played a role in the breakdown of his friendship with Peter Phillips<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to royal expert Emily Nash<\/strong>, the Duke of Sussex was likely left off the guest list for Princess Anne<\/strong>‘s son’s wedding because of how close the Prince of Wales is to their cousin.<\/p>\n

Harry and Peter ‘haven’t spoken’ in a long time<\/p>\n

“What we were told was that Peter hadn’t spoken to Harry for the last few years,” the commentator told Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I think it comes down to interpersonal relationships, doesn’t it?” Nash noted, while adding that Peter is “very close” to William.<\/p>\n

“[Peter is] very loyal; he’s very protective. He’s been a very good sounding board to his cousin over the years,” she pointed out. “So it absolutely makes sense that I think had both Wales brothers been there, it would have put a completely different slant on the whole event.”<\/p>\n

Peter put in the middle of Harry and William<\/p>\n

The three relatives used to all be close. However, the businessman was originally put in the middle of the brothers’ feud.<\/p>\n

“Peter was positioned between the two warring brothers. He was sort of put right in the middle of them as the older cousin and that must have been a really difficult moment for him,” Nash said.<\/p>\n

“Of course, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then,” the journalist noted.<\/p>\n

Missing out on the ‘royal wedding of the year’<\/p>\n

U.K. television host Mark Dolan <\/strong>emphasized what a big statement Peter was making by not welcoming the Spare author and Meghan Markle<\/strong> to he and Harriet Sperling<\/strong>‘s special day.<\/p>\n

“It’s a royal snub. It’s the royal wedding of the year and it is Princess Anne’s son, Peter,” the expert emphasized to Sky News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The bottom line is that Harry has not been invited,” Dolan said, while claiming that Harry was “banned” from the gathering.<\/p>\n

“Peter doesn’t want Harry to take the headlines,” he added.<\/p>\n

The royals in attendance<\/p>\n

King Charles III<\/strong>, Queen Camilla<\/strong>, William,Kate Middleton<\/strong><\/a>, Princess Beatrice<\/strong>, Princess Eugenie<\/strong> and Zara Tindall<\/strong>, were all in attendance for the nuptials.<\/p>\n

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/strong> and Sarah Ferguson<\/strong>‘s daughters snagging an invite and attending after their parents’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong> was shocking, royal expert Jennie Bond<\/strong> claimed.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was quite brave of Beatrice and Eugenie to show up knowing that the cameras would be on them,” the expert told The Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They’ve had a lot of highly critical press lately and it can’t have been easy for them to face the media,” she continued. “But they did seem to keep quite a low profile, particularly as the bridal party left the church.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry‘s feud with Prince Williammight have played a role in the breakdown of his friendship with Peter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1013977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7708],"tags":[280382,26030,78513,447,532,13082,5105,7710,519,448],"class_list":["post-1013976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-royals","tag-emily-nash","tag-harry-and-william","tag-peter-phillips","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-william","tag-princess-beatrice","tag-royal","tag-royal-families","tag-royal-family","tag-royals"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116716663394798594","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1013976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1013976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1013976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1013977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1013976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1013976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1013976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
