Kensington Palace is ready to send out invitations to Prince Harry’s wedding on May 19 any day now, but one person who won’t find a coveted envelope on her doormat is the Duchess of York.
She wasn’t expected to be asked – she didn’t go to Prince William’s wedding – but ever-optimistic Sarah, right, was quietly hoping to be there, not least to experience a dry run of sorts ahead of daughter Eugenie’s wedding, also at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, in October.
Fergie went skiing with Harry and Cressida Bonas in 2013, and the Prince is close to Eugenie whom he considers to be a party-pal and kindred spirit, but not close enough apparently to swing her mum an invitation.
Guests will be asked not to buy Harry and Meghan presents, but to donate to a charitable fund instead. William’s wedding fund raised £1 million for 26 charities in 2011.

I hear Jack Brooksbank is to foot the booze bill for his October nuptials with Princess Eugenie at Windsor – no mean feat for a wedding at which church guests alone could number 800.

Jack’s an old hand when it comes to parties.
The former manager at West End club Mahiki is now a wholesale wine merchant – and the wedding will be his company’s biggest gig to date.
