Royal Couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Snub Obama With No Wedding Invitation-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Allegations that President Obama was snubbed by the Royal Couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton, when they omitted him from the invitation list to their wedding.
The Truth:
It is true that President Obama was not invited to the April 29, 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton but the reason was not to offend him.
The Prince is not a sovereign or next in line to the throne so this will not be what they call in England a “State Occasion.” According to December 17, 2010 article in UK’s Daily Mail, the future bride and groom were not under any pressure to fill the 2000 seats of Westminster Abby with VIPs, dignitaries and heads of state.
The article also said that “the decision is an example of William’s single-minded desire to hold the first ever ‘people’s wedding’ by packing the pews with members of the public who have worked with his 21 charities.”
