Much as I hate to point it out, there's a more-or-less logical explanation: this isn't a State event and our head of state isn't the only one not receiving an invitation. Look for a guest list that leans to bluebloods and celebrities.
"Look for a guest list that leans to bluebloods and celebrities." I dunno Roberta... I'd swear you just described most of our politicians. "Teresa, wheres my yachting cap?" :)
Bwahahaha! I couldn't think of a better response than Tam's...and it's too bad that the British would have far too much class to ever do such a thing. And on the other hand, Michelle should be relieved because they probably wouldn't be serving arugula in the salad, anyway.
Bobbi: Truly asking, because a deep study of the British Monarchy isn't something I've made -- Third in line for the throne doesn't count as a State Event?
I don't know if they aimed to snub it could have been better. Personally I'd have gone with either sending an invite, but with a seat in the cellar, or an invite for Palin.
Perlhaqr, I'm not Bobbi, but as I understand things, while Harry is technically third in line, he has not officially been made third in line yet (probably because of his military position) so this is not a state wedding. Once he is named (please, your Majesty, skip a generation, please oh please), then things change and become more official.
Note, please, that I'm a historian and not a specialist in modern succession practices in Britain, so I could be wayyy off. LittleRed1
Even better... I thought I heard Kanye West got an invite!
ReplyDeleteOuch.
Nice. :)

Simpler explanation: they couldn't find a hotel that would take our check for 200 rooms for the entourage.

ReplyDeleteThat's just cold.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Jeez -- Ron and Nancy Reagan went to Diana's wedding. Maybe they just want classy people there.
ReplyDelete...But that was a State event. Prince of Wales and all that.
ReplyDeleteWould you want them at your wedding? With a narcissism flare-up, they would think the reception was a party in their honor.
ReplyDeleteNice burns!
ReplyDeleteNo room for the teleprompter in case the One wanted to give a toast.

ReplyDeleteWV: "diessi" -- Where the Italian Indowy live.
Heh! So, are the Brits still smarting over the colonial rabble beating their Redcoats?
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, I did NOT get an invitation to the wedding, despite toasting the Queen at every dinner while I was touring her demesne.
ReplyDeleteSigh! Some people.

Arrrgh. William, not Harry. I spend my days either before WIlliam the Conqueror or between Charles II and Victoria. Sorry 'bout that.
ReplyDeleteLittleRed1
Actually I'm very grateful to them for looking out after my interests.
