Our good UK folks seem to be very skeptical so far about the UK Sunday Express' reliability in this regard.

I bet he doesn't go, they really don't want him, no invite to the wedding so far and there will be massive protests that will make his life and security hell. I'm thinking he'll be too chicken.

If there is any hint of protest he will cancel. Plus he was not invited to the wedding, which I'm sure completely shattered his delicate ego.

just to try to create problems where there's anything potentially involving Obama.

But why on Earth would the royals want him anywhere near there?

* Harry's wedding isn't a state ceremony, so no obligation to invite certain heads of state
* Trump has said inappropriate things about Harry's mother and sister-in-law
* Trump has now disparaged an entire continent of which the Windsors are quite fond for various reasons, including humanitarian and philanthropic causes
* Harry didn't want him there based on his policies and ideologies, well before the latest racist display, and Meghan has been equally critical
