Prince Harry, Andrew not invited to wedding of Princess Anne's son
Peter Phillips doesn't want his uncle to overshadow his special day
Prince Harry, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have not been invited to the wedding of Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips.
Phillips and Harriet Sperling will exchange vows on Saturday, June 6th at All Saints Church in Kemble, Cirencester.
King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been notified of the wedding plans.
A report said Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson will not be at the wedding because their presence would overshadow the couple's day.
Speaking to Hello an insider said, "When and whether Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Sarah Ferguson had been invited, it was probably not deemed appropriate to invite them.
“It's Peter and Harriet's special day, and clearly their attendance would cause a distraction to the whole day."
Prince Harry, who is settled in the US with wife Meghan Markle and two children, has also been left off the invitation list.
Both Peter Phillips, 48, and Harriet Sperling, 45, are divorced. Phillips has two daughters from his 13-year marriage to Autumn Phillips: Savannah, aged 14, and Isla, aged 13.
Sperling, who works as an NHS paediatric nurse, has a teenage daughter named Georgia from a previous relationship.
