'I am going to follow with great interest the events of this new reign.'" Non-royal dukesĪs the guest list has been slimmed down, that means that non-royal dukes have been cut from the guest list. Invitations based on meritocracy, not aristocracy. "The King was sending his great love and apologies, he was offending many family and friends with the reduced list. Writing on Instagram, India said: "One of the King's personal secretaries was passing on a message from the King. Her daughter, India Hicks, said her mother would have liked an invitation and if she had received one, she would have been one of the few people to have attended two coronations - but she received a call to say she would not be invited. However, she has not received a coveted invitation to the official Coronation. Lady Pamela Hicks – whose father, the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma was Prince Philip's uncle – attended the Queen's wedding in 1947 and her funeral in a wheelchair last September. I love to watch it on the telly because the commentators are always good." Lady Pamela HicksĪnother family member who is apparently not invited is one of the late Queen's two surviving bridesmaids. She said: “I will be having a little tea room and putting out the bunting. Speaking on Loose Women last month Fergie said she will be watching at home instead. King Charles decided not to invite Fergie, despite her still sharing a home with his brother Prince Andrew and seemingly being welcomed back into the royal fold.įergie won't be beside her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are both nieces of the King, on the day. The King's former sister-in-law Sarah Ferguson will not be present on the day.
We take a look at who appears to have been snubbed so far. This means that not everyone will get an invite, possibly leaving many disappointed.
The countdown is on for King Charles' Coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6 and it's no wonder that many want to be there to witness the historic event.Īs the Abbey is limited to just 2,000 people, the guest list for Charles and Queen Camilla's big day has been carefully controlled and limited, writes The Mirror.
