We don't know that they weren't invited- their schedules are very busy, particularly Charles. They may have been invited but needed to decline.
I like this possibility. Makes sense to me.
I'm still a little dubious at Pippa and Harry being actual friends. Some of the other posters brought up extended family politics, and how often a sibling's in-laws will get invited even if they don't regularly socialize with the bride or groom. I'm leaning more towards that view. I also now think there's a good chance HM, Philip, Charles and Camilla were invited, with Pippa knowing that they'd politely decline, which they then did.
Interesting suggestion. Maybe.
I can get perhaps inviting Harry. They are close in age and would socialize when the Cambridges have a party. But Charles and Camilla? Sorry but that would just smack 'look at who we got to come' more then a genuine invitation.
You have a point. It for sure could get spun that way. But I'd do it. Charles and Camilla will be the next King and Queen, and they are the (socially significant) in-laws of the sister. I can see an invitation, especially if there is friendliness between Carole and Michael. I would have no problem with it.
I don't see Meghan going but not because not welcome. But because she will be knee deep into filming.
I have a hunch a weekend for personal business (that would be high profile) would not bother the producers. Question more pertinent: would Meghan make that decision? If she does, I'd say something is (seriously) afoot.
It would be one thing if she knew Pippa well, or she lived in the UK. But we have no sign they have even met.
I just read on-line that Kate had met Meghan. That might be enough.
Yes she attended the wedding in Jamaica but that is different. One because she wasn't filming. And two because it was a personal friend of Harry not a slight family bond. It's more important that she get to know Harry's friends and circle, and family, then Pippa at this or any point.
I'm not sure filming need be that much of a litmus test for anything. JMO. If Meghan decides she wants the leeway for an event, it can be wrangled.
With Harry attending, I'd guess that this is an ideal opportunity for Meghan to experience some of the extended family, if there is a serious edge to this relationship and Meghan is okay with being very public at this stage. That's key.
