Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want the Obamas at wedding

[TheBlackAdder]

.


Great! This will show the remaining RW Brits what a fucking tool our president is.

Let's see if the PM is a puppet and cowars to Trump or if she is an independent leader.

“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.

“Conversations are ongoing about and ministers will eventually have to decide. If the (prime minister) lays down the law, Harry will just have to suck it up,” the source told The Sun.

1. Do Harry and Meghan HAVE to

invite trump? If it is decided that they cannot have the Obamas, why invite trump? Just invite no one instead of a fake President.

3. The Sun is a Murdoch publication.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)

To be ignored!

13. no, he isn't on the list....

Which is what is creating the hub-bub. Obama getting an invite will drive him totally irate.

Let's get some popcorn and hope the happy couple stick by their guns.

[sarge43]

15. They can invite anyone they choose.

Weddings are not state affairs, like coronations or royal funerals. State protocol doesn't apply.

[calimary]

24. Well, seems to me it would be easier for Harry and Meghan

to be more selective - AND invite or not invite who they wanted. After all, Prince Harry is much farther down in the line of succession. It probably would make more of a difference if it were Will and Kate. There would have been stricter protocols for them regarding invitations to other heads of state and alleged-but-still-illegitimate “heads of state” (like trump).

If it were me, I wouldn’t want those wretched assholes sullying MY special day, either. Besides, trump would want all the attention.

[CakeGrrl]

44. President Obama wasn't invited to William and Kate's wedding.

They opted to include more members of charities rather than heads of state.

So if they didn't have to fulfill the obligation, Harry and Meghan have no problem.

This has all been RW pot-stirring by Murdoch to create a 'crisis'.

Since this engagement has been groundbreaking in other ways, I'd love it if the Queen would extend the invitation to her friends the Obamas - not that Harry won't proceed with his plan.

And on top of it, I'm sure Harry would secretly love to deck the Dotard for his gross comments about Princess Diana.

[Chemisse]

52. Not to mention he would 'maul' the bride.

[Rollo]

2. Obvious solution: Invite both the Obamas and the Trumps...

Why not?

That way the world will get to see the difference between class and crass.

[gratuitous]

6. Can't say I'd open my ceremony to a pet that isn't housebroken

And for the same reason I wouldn't want the Trumps there, either.

But if the presence of the Obamas triggers all the broflakes in the UK and the USA, all the better.

[OldHippieChick]

33. Thanks for the giggle and

I agree, but I'm still giggling

[Rollo]

7. Seat the Trumps next to the Russian ambassador...

And seat the Obamas in a place of honor among the friends of the royal family...

[Siwsan]

8. That's inviting trouble in the form of anti-trump* protests

That might be an easier issue to control within the confines of Windsor Castle, but I can't even begin to imagine what the potential for crowds of angry protesters would do to both the event and the surrounding area.

[murielm99]

9. I just wondered if anyone here

knows the protocol. This is a state event, and the British have rules for how these things are done.

Yes, the Obamas are private citizens and Harry's personal friends. But trump is a head of state, even if he is widely hated. I think 45 might be better off sending Pence, if his ego will allow it. That is one of the things Vice Presidents do.

[msongs]

10. personal event private party, nt

[PragmaticLiberal]

12. I don't believe this is a state event.

William's wedding was because he's the future king but Harry, for all intents and purposes is a private citizen.

That's why (unlike William) Harry doesn't have to invite heads of states etc.

[Volaris]

16. Then I say they should invite who the hell they want (and not)

And if the goddamned PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES can't figure out the difference between official State Business and private matters among private citizens, he and all his snowflake supporters can fuck right off and the PM can damnwell explain it to him.

Now I'd invite the Obamas just on general principal. Fuck Trump.

[murielm99]

17. Thank you.

I am learning a lot from the replies here.

[canetoad]

38. I believe it will be held

In St. Georges chapel at Windsor. Not a state event.

[Rollo]

47. Yes, I remember reading that it will be at Windsor Castle...

I think the Brits should grow some balls and let Harry and Meghan invite whoever they like.

Or, let them marry in a private ceremony.

[tammywammy]

14. The Obamas weren't invited to William's wedding

There were very few heads of state invited to it. I don't believe this wedding is considered a state event either.

[sarge43]

22. Simple test about UK state events:

Is the Earl Marshal, duke of Norfolk, in charge of the organizing and protocol? If yes, then it's a state sponsored event. If not, then no it isn't, no matter how lavish.

[avebury]

26. I don't think that this will be a state event. If it were

it would be held in St Paul's or Westminster Abbey and many heads of states would be invited. This will be a smaller wedding then what Prince Charles and Prince William had. The couple should be able to invite whom they want. The Obamas are now private citizens and friends of the Groom. The solution is to not invite any heads of states of any countries. If Trump doesn't like it - tough shit. You can't on the one hand constantly act like the Ugly American and then on the other hand get mad when you don't get invitations to the grownups table.

The majority of Brits don't want Trump visiting their country and the bride and groom don't need anry protests in the streets against Trump ruining their wedding day.

[lastlib]

28. I think I would send tRump an invitation.....

...with the wrong date, time, and place..........

[Laffy Kat]

40. And country!

[mitch96]

43. Perfect!!!

Classic disinformation campaign... Like what reThugs do to voters....
m

[Rollo]

48. Is the Mars rocket ready?

[Achilleaze]

4. Who can blame them?

I mean, would you want a treasonous republican sexual predator, draft-dodging, chronic lying, casino hustler at your wedding? I think not. But a dignified, erudite, sophisticated and accomplished former President and his brilliant, talented, and beautiful wife? Please RSVP.

[notdarkyet]

19. And who knows what he would do to get the attention on himsefi and do or say something off

the cuff which will hurt the focus on a sacred day. Protesters would be a terrible distraction.No one should be allowed even a chance to ruin it, and we know we can’t count on trump to act appropriately, anywhere, no matter how important the occasion. He tries to make everything about him and I don’t think he deserves to be given a chance of of doing his usual ego trip. The couple should invite who they want and not invite people they don’t like.

[calimary]

25. If I were Harry, I wouldn't want trump anywhere near my sweetheart!

I wouldn’t want him touching her with those grubby little pussy-grabbing paws, or trying to push himself on her to kiss her as he has already said, on the record, he can’t help doing with beautiful women. Keep him AWAY, Harry!!!

[Siwsan]

5. The Obamas are now private citizens.

It's ridiculous to say they can't attend when they actually have a PERSONAL relationship with Harry - and pretty much the rest of the Royals, too. It is an existing relationship that now has zero to do with politics and/or governments. I truly believe they all genuinely like each other.

This is exactly how trump* got to be such a bloated ball of fetid ego - people pandering and catering to his temperment and very damaged self-esteem.

[sweetroxie]

20. I wholeheartedly agree.

He needs a regular-- and I mean regular-- comeuppance.

[Iliyah]

11. Murdoch at it again.

I'm pretty sure he has a winter house in Russia and Poland.

[Kittycow]

27. That's what I was thinking..

I thought that the Sun is a tabloid and I'm wondering why this so-called objection is even being entertained.

[dalton99a]

32. Yep

Robert Kraft (L) and Rupert Murdoch watched President Vladimir Putin try on the Patriots ring before he pocketed it. (Kommersant Photo / Dmitry Azarov)

[C_U_L8R]

18. Let him throw a royal tantrum

Everyone already knows what an imbecile Trump is

[ginnyinWI]

23. And it's his own damn fault. n/t

[Cha]

21. I hope the Obamas

get to go to Harry's and Meghan's wedding!

The fake US president and james woods can tweet their perverted jealous stupid heads off.

And, of course, take this article from the tabloid with a grain of salt.

[Skittles]

29. I know Harry adores Michelle

yes indeed

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. 3, 2, 1 - Trump will tweet he doesn't want to go n/t

[dalton99a]

31. Ok, Harry & Meghan, do what Murdoch says - be nice to the pussy grabber

[LeftishBrit]

34. While the Prime Minister can invite Trump to a visit, I don't think she can order anyone, royal or

not, to have him to their wedding.

And why would a biracial American female with some brains, and a British prince, who whether you like him or not, has some sense of duty to his country and e.g. has served in the military - why would they want American Psycho at their wedding?!

[appalachiablue]

35. It will be wonderful to see the Obamas at Harry and Meghan's wedding! Finis

[madamesilverspurs]

36. The Obamas are a class act.

Trump, on the other hand, would have to be monitored to keep him from groping the bride, the bridesmaids, the flower girls, etc.

Why the hell would any couple anywhere invite the grabster?!

.

[B Stieg]

37. Elope!

Oh, c'mon, kids. What a great way to start off, running from the Orange Marriage Scourge!
Please, please, please go for it.

[canetoad]

39. Mischief making

From a Murdoch tabloid.

[LittleGirl]

41. Since the prince and future wife

want to invite the Obamas, let them.
Since Harry is so far down the chain of royals, they should invite whoever they want.
Fuck 45.

[Mr.Bill]

42. Lightning would probably

strike the church if Trump set foot in it.

[bucolic_frolic]

45. I think the couple should do as they like

The Royals deserve respect and privacy as they see fit. They are all moving the world forward.

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. It should be easy to keep Rump away: Publish the menu.

Once he sees there are no Big Macs or fried chicken on it, he'll avoid it like the plague.

Or tell him the main course will be traditional Scottish haggis. Then have someone tell him what it is.

[lpbk2713]

49. Trump the narcissist would try to steal the show.

The bride and groom would not want to have memories of a wedding like that.

[HipChick]

50. Inviting a sexual predator who supports child molestors..

and being seen with the Queen

[SummerSnow]

51. Fuck him, invite who you want at your wedding.
