Prince Harry may also receive an invite to the occasion, but may decide not to attend.

The Duke of Sussex is not on speaking terms with his brother, Prince William and opted to miss a wedding last year to avoid an awkward reunion.

Prince Harry did not attend the Duke of Westminster's wedding to Olivia Henson in 2024.

The Duke of Westminster is close friends with both the Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, and the former served as the groom’s usher on the big day, which saw over 400 guests attend.

Prince Harry and Meghan turned down the invite to the nuptials.

A source said that the prince had "agreed to stay away" in order to let his brother perform the key role in the ceremony.

"It is understood that a civilised understanding was reached between the Duke [of Westminster] and Harry over the phone.

"It’s a long way to come from California, after all" the source told The Times.

They added: "Harry was invited but then agreed to stay away.
