When Prince William and Kate Middleton married at Westminster Abbey in 2011, the Duke’s aunt, Sarah Ferguson, was not invited to the historic ceremony, despite being the mother of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice and the ex-wife of Prince Andrew. In an interview with The Town & Country, Fergie opened up about not being invited to the most significant royal wedding of the 21st century.
The Duchess of York said: “I didn’t think I was probably worthy to go to their wedding.”
“I took myself to Thailand, actually, to be far away from it so that I could try and heal,” Fergie added.
When William and Kate were engaged, much was made of who had been invited to attend their wedding.
The Duke of Cambridge has revealed in a documentary that he and Kate amended the initial guest list.
William said the initial list included almost 800 people neither he nor Kate knew.
“There was very much a subdued moment when I was handed a list with 777 names on – not one person I knew or Catherine knew,” he recalled.
William approached his grandmother about what he should do next.
The Duke of Cambridge explained: “I went to her [the Queen] and said: ‘Listen, I’ve got this list, not one person I know. What do I do?’ and she went: ‘Get rid of it. Start from your friends and we’ll add those we need to in due course. It’s your day.’”
