Kate Middleton Sister Reportedly Uninvited Meghan Markle from Her Wedding

In the lead up to her wedding in 2017, Pippa Middleton sister of the Princess of Wales Kate Middleton reportedly made the difficult decision to uninvited Meghan Markle, fearing her presence would overshadow the event. Royal expert Omid Scobie details this incident in his book Finding Freedom, co-written with Carolyn Durand.
According to Scobie, the concern arose from the intense media attention surrounding Meghan Markle, who was dating Prince Harry at the time.

The potential for a media circus was exacerbated by a “crass cover story” that suggested Meghan’s attendance would detract from the bride. Scobie writes, “Harry and Meghan agreed that she couldn’t possibly turn up at the church, only fifty meters away from a specially arranged media pen, after such a crass cover story.”

The couple, sensitive to the delicate balance of media attention, decided against Meghan attending the church ceremony. Scobie adds, “If they worried their arrival might create a media circus despite taking every precaution, now they had no doubt that it would. Meghan’s church outfit and Philip Treacy hat would have to be worn another time.”

This decision highlights the complexities and pressures faced by high-profile individuals when navigating personal and public life. The desire to avoid overshadowing Pippa’s big day led to a choice that, while undoubtedly difficult, underscored the intense scrutiny faced by Meghan and Harry.
Co-writer Carolyn Durand provides further insight into the wedding dynamics, revealing that Pippa Middleton had specific seating arrangements to avoid media speculation.

“Sitting together in the custom glass marquee that has been erected on the eighteen-acre property should have been a fun night for the couple, but, per Pippa’s request, no couples sat together,” Durand explains.
