Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York 'deeply upset' over snub from inner sanctum of royal wedding party

Prince Harry reportedly had to intervene against the wishes of his family to make sure his uncle’s former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, was invited to his wedding next Saturday.

Even still, the former Sarah Ferguson, 58, popularly known as Fergie, is said to be “deeply upset” to be excluded from the “inner sanctum” evening reception at Frogmore House, a large estate near Windsor Castle, at which the guest list is controlled by Harry’s father, Prince Charles.

What is worse, from the Duchess’s perspective, is that her daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie, who are both close with their cousin Harry, are invited.

The snub is the latest flashpoint in a long history of tension between the Windsors and the former wife of the Queen’s second son, Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

The Queen’s husband Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is said to be the frostiest toward his former daughter-in-law, with the Queen taking pains to ensure they are never in the same room. Charles is thought to take his cue from his father, and William from his.

The Daily Mail reported the Duchess has been complaining about this “to anyone who will listen,” and quoted a source: “Numbers are limited to the evening party. She is not a member of the Royal Family any more and Prince Charles simply doesn’t have time for her. He just can’t see why she is still such a big part of his brother’s life.”

Nor is there much hope for a lasting peace. Later this year, Princess Eugenie is set to marry Jack Brooksbank, also at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. As mother of the bride, the Duchess is likely to have the opportunity to host her own party, and set her own guest list.

Fergie’s the only one I find even the least bit appealing.

It’s like those immigration cases where the families are split apart

Hey! She should be happy they haven’t killed her yet. Plus, she was so close to being in the World Trade Center on 9/11.

I was at a gathering last week seeing old friends for the first time in 50 years, two families are like this, one of the kids is an outcast, another two of the three boys will not talk to each other. Unbelievable.

When Markle inevitably divorces Harry, or vice versa, she’ll be excluded too.
