Off with their names

IS ANYONE really surprised that harry and Meghan are said to be off the guest list for the society wedding of 2024?

hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, has long been close to both William and harry, and is godfather to both Prince George and reportedly the sussexes’ son, Archie. But it’s the Prince and Princess of Wales who are expected at Chester Cathedral when hugh weds fiancee Olivia next June.

Family rifts and awkwardness aside, hugh, one of Britain’s richest men with a fortune of more than £9 billion, surely wouldn’t want to run the risk of finding himself discussed in an interview with Oprah, featuring on a Meghan podcast — or even turning up in the pages of Omid scobie’s next book.
