Sarah Ferguson is Not Invited to The Wedding

Photo: Snubbed: Sarah Ferguson dropped off her daughters for a night out with other Royals on Thursday, but is not among the 1,900 guests invited to the Royal Wedding in April

Sarah Ferguson has not been invited to the Royal wedding.
About 1,900 invitations have been sent to family, dignitaries, charity workers and friends of Prince William and Kate Middleton but the Duchess of York was snubbed, royal aides confirmed yesterday.
Friends of 51-year-old Fergie claimed she ‘never expected’ to be asked and would have missed the ceremony anyway owing to ‘private plans overseas’.

She is also understood to have been reluctant to go to the ceremony ‘alone’. As cousins of William, her daughters  Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are expected to sit at the front of Westminster Abbey while their mother, who divorced Andrew 15 years ago, would have been much further back.

Several European royals have already RSVPed including one of William's godfathers, King Constantine, the former ruler of Greece. A spokesman for him and his wife Queen Anne-Marie and their son Crown Prince Pavlos confirmed to the Daily Mail that the Greek royal family received a fax and plan to attend.

Camilla, The Great Survivor, Is a Charming Ally

As she prepares to marry into the Royal family, there are few people who can be more helpful to Catherine than Camilla. For she too is a relative newcomer, and what she went through on the road to Clarence House is recent and wildly relevant to what Catherine is embarking on.

Camilla has been married to the Prince of Wales for over five years, but she cannot have forgotten what her old life was like. For many years, the world’s press gossiped about her relationship with the Prince and monitored her movements from the supermarkets of Chippenham to the hunting field of the Beaufort. A less resilient woman would have cracked under the strain but, eventually, Mrs Parker Bowles married the man she had first consorted with 40 years before.
