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.

I guess I'm a bimbophile.
Both girls also got a healthy serving of royal teeth

Euro-trash.
I almost feel that Meagan is marrying BENEATH her station.
third class circuses are the best kind! :)
Hanoverian pop eyes. It’s in the genes.
Do you think they serve Frogmore Stew at the Frogmore House?
The Queen and Buckingham Palace remember those topless and boozy photos, and those cheap “tell-all” interviews when her marriage was ending.
Families! You can pick your nose but you can’t pick your family.
Can’t wait to see what ridiculous hat and dowdy dress she sports at this wedding. She was the laughing stock at William and Kate’s.
I’m shocked at this because Diana and Fergie were like frick and frack. I’m sure Fergie would love to attend this wedding!!
If she wants to be included she needs to put a cork in it
Oh dear. The Duchess of York needs a cork.
First World problems...
No, they had a failing out long before Diana’s death.
Fergie is definitely low rent. She’s been in dozens of financial scandals as well as sexual escapades. Bad news.
Poor Furgie.
How many muslims has Prince Foppy invited?
If you’re not at Frogmore, yo ain’t shid!
