#Trump, #Obama và # Có thể không được mời dự đám cưới của Hoàng tử Harry và Meghan Markle

US President Donald Trump, his predecessor Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Theresa May have not been invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on 19 May, royal and British government sources said this week, viết Estelle Shirbon.

Harry, grandson of Queen Elizabeth and younger brother of Prince William, will marry Markle, an American actress best known for her role in the TV series Phù hợp với, at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

“It has been decided that an official list of political leaders – both UK and international - is not required for Prince Harry and Ms. Markle’s wedding,” said a spokesman for Kensington Palace, the official residence of William and Harry.

“Her Majesty’s Government was consulted on this decision, which was taken by The Royal Household,” the spokesman said. 'Her Majesty’s Government' is the official name of the British government.

There had been some speculation that the Obamas might be invited due to the personal rapport between the former president and Harry, but it would have been diplomatically awkward to invite the Obamas and not the Trumps.

Although the royal family is expected to steer well clear of politics, Britain’s delicate constitutional balance means that its members have to consult discreetly with the government to ensure their public actions comply with foreign policy.

A British government source confirmed May would not be attending and said there had been no expectation that she would.

The government source noted that the wedding venue was significantly smaller than Westminster Abbey, where Harry’s older brother William wed Kate Middleton in 2011 in the presence of then Prime Minister David Cameron and other politicians and diplomats.

Obama, who was then in office, was not invited to that wedding and the United States was represented by its ambassador to the United Kingdom.

The list included people who ran a wide variety of charity organizations as well as veterans from the armed forces who have suffered life-changing injuries.
