President Obama and his wife Michelle will not be invited to Prince William's wedding next year.

Royal sources revealed yesterday that the American President and his wife are not among the congregation as William's wedding to Kate Middleton is not classed as a 'state occasion' - as the Prince is not yet heir to the throne.

Courtiers suggested they are more eager to ask ordinary citizens and charity workers than foreign dignitaries and VIPs at the 'people's wedding'. Uninvited: Royal sources have revealed that President Obama and his wife Michelle are not going to be invited to the Royal wedding as it is not classed as a state occasion

The Mail also understands that the couple are under no pressure to fill the 2,000 seats at Westminster Abbey with foreign dignitaries.

Despite the Obamas not being invited, a number of heads of state are likely attend the ceremony on April 29 in line with previous royal weddings, possibly including France's president Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni.

But the decision to exclude the U.S. President and his wife Michelle from the celebrations is a break from tradition. Prince William and Kate Middleton will marry at Westminster Abbey on April 29 The world famous Westminster Abbey will host the ceremony

GOOD! They don’t deserve to be invited to the opening of new porta-pottys either.

Why should an Emperor be invited, when he clearly has no clothes?

Actually, I think it is more in fear of what Michelle would be wearing.

Just the thought is enough to curdle milk.

They know Obama hates England, anyway. Soetoro and Moochelle would only find ways to embarrass America and offend the English.

They'll just have to recall their own wedding day in Chicago at United Church of Christ.

Hopefully, we've been save the embarrassment of some cheesy gift they would have given in our name.

It’s just as well.

The sycophantic American press would go on and on about how much more stunning Michelle Obama is than the bride.

Or Obama could give the Prince an Ipod with all his speeches already downloaded onto it. The Queen sure seemed to love hers.

Good on them!

One of the "WON's" first acts in office was to send the bust of Churchill back to England, like a thing of disgust.

But then, Muslims still have a fatwa against Churchill from his book over 100 years ago - in which he nails them with 100% accuracy.

Your silverware jab got me to thinking of the Clintons and how it may be something of a snub to them as well if they’re not invited. I’d think they would have had more interaction with William over the years, likely including when Chelsea was over there.
