Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Miss Out on Royal Wedding Invitation Again

and have once again found themselves excluded from a royal wedding.

Rumours abound that the couple, known as the Sussexes, were snubbed from Prince Abdul-Mateen of Brunei's nuptials.

However, there is speculation that Princess Catherine and might attend the event.

The ten-day wedding celebrations for Prince Abdul-Mateen and Anisha Rosna Izzakallabek are currently underway, with no expense spared.

Prince Abdul-Mateen, the fourth son and tenth child of the Sultan of Brunei, hails from a wealthy oil-rich Sultanate that was once a British colony.

Until his engagement, Abdul-Mateen was considered one of the most eligible bachelors globally, with his father's net worth estimated at $24 billion.

At 32 years old, Abdul-Mateen holds a degree from KCL, is a trained helicopter pilot, and has gained popularity as a low-key social media personality.

His bride-to-be, 29-year-old Anisha Rosna, is a granddaughter of one of the Sultan's special advisors.

Anisha is an entrepreneur who runs a silk garment company and an exclusive holiday planning start-up.

The couple has known each other since their youth, and their wedding marks a significant milestone in their lives.

Prince Mateen, a helicopter pilot in Brunei's air force, has often drawn comparisons to Britain's .

He graduated from Britain's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and represented Brunei in Polo at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

In recent years, Mateen has taken on a more prominent role in international diplomacy, accompanying his father to notable events such as III and Queen 's coronation in May last year, as well as Queen Elizabeth's funeral in 2022.

Unlike Harry, Mateen seems to embrace his role as a prince who is not in line for the throne.

He maintains a positive relationship with his family and refrains from publicly criticizing them through books or movies.

This stark contrast may explain why the Sussexes were not invited to his wedding.

It is yet another disappointment for Harry and Meghan, who have faced several setbacks in the past month.

The royal couple was recently excluded from the wedding of their son 's godfather, Hugh Grosvenor.

Despite being close friends with the royal family, Hugh, the Duke of Westminster, did not extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan.

This decision likely stems from the ongoing drama surrounding Omid Scobie's controversial book, “Endgame.”

During a 2020 interview with Oprah, revealed that members of the royal family had made comments about her son's skin color.

Although she did not disclose the identities of those involved, Omid Scobie reportedly named Catherine, Princess of Wales, and in the Dutch version of his book.

Scobie later claimed it was a translation error, but Meghan has neither confirmed nor denied the accusation.

It appears that this controversy has cost her a wedding invitation.

While King Charles, Queen Camilla, , and Princess Catherine received invitations to Hugh Grosvenor's upcoming nuptials with Olivia Henson, Harry and Meghan did not make the cut.

A Reddit thread dedicated to discussing Hugh's decision reveals that many support his choice.

One commenter praises the Duke of Westminster and his bride, while others express little surprise, citing Harry and Meghan's strained relationships within the UK's aristocratic, military, and social circles.

The consensus among Reddit users seems to be that inviting the Sussexes would overshadow the special day and potentially generate negative PR.

Some speculate that Hugh Grosvenor may still maintain occasional communication with Harry, but their friendship is no longer as strong as it once was.

The prevailing sentiment is that associating with Harry and Meghan could lead to unwanted attention and public spectacle.

In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle find themselves excluded from another royal wedding.

As they continue to face setbacks, their absence from Prince Abdul-Mateen's celebration and Hugh Grosvenor's upcoming nuptials underscores the strained relationships they have within the royal and social circles.

The controversy surrounding Meghan's allegations and the negative publicity generated by Omid Scobie's book likely contributed to their exclusion.
