Peter Phillips and his fiancée, Harriet Sperling, will exchange vows at All Saints Church in Gloucestershire on June 6, with nearly every senior member of the Royal Family expected to witness the occasion. However, one prominent figure appears set to be absent from the intimate ceremony.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly been left off the guest list as the institution maintains its distance from the ongoing reputational damage caused by his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Recent reports indicate that attendance by the King's brother is considered unlikely, with the monarchy continuing its efforts to separate itself from the scandal's fallout.
GB News has contacted Mr Phillips's spokesman for comment.

The ceremony is shaping up to be among the most notable private royal occasions of the year, bringing together the majority of senior working royals in one location.
Royal biographer Richard Fitzwilliams has suggested the event will differ considerably from Mr Phillips's first wedding, which reportedly left some family members bewildered.
Ms Sperling, 45, works as a paediatric nurse specialist for the NHS and resides in Gloucestershire. Her professional biography describes her as passionate about early brain development in babies and helping children flourish.
Harriet Sperling and Peter Phillips began dating in 2024 | PAIn 2010, she formed part of a specialist medical team that helped save a critically ill infant who had contracted a deadly virus at just three weeks old. Faith has played a central role in her life, particularly during her years as a single mother to daughter Georgina, now 13.
In a 2009 interview, she explained that her belief had always been present but lay dormant until a significant relationship ended: "I went to church as I felt there was something missing."
She has since written for Christian magazine Woman Alive about finding solace in her faith while raising a child alone.
Her acceptance within royal circles became evident last summer when she joined the official carriage procession at Royal Ascot, where she was photographed laughing with the King.

The couple first became romantically linked in May 2024 before officially confirming their engagement last August, with both families expressing their delight at the news.
For Mr Phillips, 48, the wedding represents a fresh start following the dissolution of his marriage to Canadian-born Autumn Kelly.
The pair married at St George's Chapel in 2008 and share two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Isla, 13, before their separation in 2019 and subsequent divorce in 2021.
Earlier this year at Cheltenham Festival, Ms Sperling displayed her engagement ring, a sparkling piece reportedly crafted by the same jeweller who created the late Queen Elizabeth II's iconic 1946 engagement ring.
