so he can turn it down in the most demeaning way possible for both the UK, Prince Harry, and the Obamas.

5. Problems with inviting Donald Trump to Prince Harry's wedding:

1. The wedding will be focused on Trump.
2. The news story will be that Trump and his family won't bow to the Royals, esp. the Queen.
3. Trump will give an "exclusive" interview to Murdoch's paper(s) where he finds a way to insult the Royals and Meghan (e.g., she's biracial like Obama).
4. Trump will make infuriating Tweets during the wedding week-end. (See #1.)

Feel free to add on.

They can pick and choose whom they wish.. No heads of state are being invited said the British press. I wonder how Murdock's news machine is gonna spin it...

It has been a while since I've been to St. George's Chapel, but the grounds at Windsor Castle are much more confined than those in front of Westminster Abbey or St Paul's Cathedral. Harry is pretty popular so the crowd control will difficult enough, dealing with those who are there to wish the couple well.

I've been in the midst of British crowds for joyous occasions (Queen's Jubilee) and political occasions (Poll Tax Riots). Those political crowds can get really rowdy. And I suspect that trump* is easily hated as much, if not more, than that poll tax.

It's a private affair, not a state affair. They hate him and so do most Brits. It would forever mark Harry and Meghan as traitors in the eyes of their people if they did.
