MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRYS WEDDING INVITATION TO OBAMA MAY NOT HAPPEN THANKS TO TRUMP

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want to invite the Obamas to their royal wedding in the spring, but the British government may leave them off the list to avoid offending President Donald Trump, according to a report.

“Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it’s causing a lot of nervousness,” a senior British government source told The Sun. “Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the queen.”

The tabloid’s report published on Tuesday states that there are deep fears among senior foreign office officials that a snub of Trump, whom the prince and Markle dislike, could make it impossible for Prime Minister Theresa May to connect with the polarizing president.

I'd just be sure to put Trump in the very back of the church, next to the confessional.

Where he belongs.

a petition and letter to the Queen and all of England to let them know the vast majority of U.S. Americans WANT the Obamas to attend the wedding... we don't care what Trump thinks and anyway, he will be gone soon!!!

They surely know 65% of America HATES him, and 90% of earth hates him.

I dont get it.

Harry knows that. He was brought up to understand how political his life is.

The Obamas are friends with Prince Harry and the Queen. It's surely not worth having them if it means Trump has to come. He'd just make a spectacle of himself. But damn...

I'm not dissing you, Dulcinea.

Newsweek is turning into sub-tabloid trash, as many recent posts at DU will attest.
