Cole told hosts Ben Leo and Nana Akua: "Prince Harry's been on the phone to Hugh Grosvenor, and they've both decided, all things considered, that it might be better if the younger brother stays away in case."
The former Royal Correspondent also revealed that if Prince Harry had attended the ceremony in Cheshire, Prince William would have "had to show Harry to his seat in the Cathedral".
Cole explained: "It would be hellishly embarrassing. Prince William has to show Prince Harry to his seat in the congregation.
