Prince Harry has reportedly sent a wedding gift to his cousin Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling despite their snub to the royal.

Prince Harry has been snubbed from the family event as the Duke wasn’t invited to cousin Peter Phillips’ wedding amid claims the royal family had no intention of jeopardizing the attendance of the one guest who mattered most: Prince William.

Royal expert Rob Shuter recently claimed that family members understood the situation from the start. William would not attend if Harry was there.

A royal insider told the expert, “There was never going to be a scenario where William and Harry spent the day together. That ship has sailed.”

According to sources, once that reality was accepted, the decision became simple.

“Nobody sat around debating this,” says an insider. “William was always going to win.”

Despite the snub, the Closer citing the insiders, has reported Prince Harry has “even sent a gift to the bride and groom, as a show of goodwill and a direct acknowledgement of their omission.”

Last week a friend of Meghan and Harry confirmed that the royal couple have not been invited, saying, ‘Peter and Harry haven’t spoken for several years and have simply lost touch, so he hasn’t been invited.’

Rob claimed, “There is no choice,” adding “William is the heir. William is the priority. Every single time.”
