Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle have told aides they want the former US president and wife Michelle at their big day on May 19.
The 33-year-old prince has become good friends with the Obamas since bonding with them during the Invictus Games.
But Britain’s relations with Trump’s White House have sunk to their lowest ebb since his election last year.
There are deep fears among senior Foreign Office and No10 officials that another perceived national snub will make it impossible for Theresa May to meaningfully engage with Trump.
A senior government source said: “Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it’s causing a lot of nervousness.
“Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a Royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the Queen.
“Conversations are ongoing about and ministers will eventually have to decide. If the PM lays down the law, Harry will just have to suck it up.”
As the wedding is not a state occasion, the Government only have a consultative role in its organization and heads of state will not be invited.
First off can you believe you just read that?
Quite literally the British government is trying to dissuade a prince from inviting a personal friend to his own wedding, because it might anger the sitting president of the United States and may negatively impact foreign relations with our country.
That is literally insane.
Of course the thing is that Prince Harry is well known for breaking the rules, so I imagine that Brits will have a hard time convincing him to make a decision like this.
And he absolutely SHOULD NOT!
This is HIS goddamn wedding, Obama is HIS goddamn friend, and this should be NOBODY'S goddamn business.
I still think that Harry and Meghan should make Obama part of their wedding party, and send a huge "fuck you" to Tangerine Hitler.
