US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May have be going to the wedding of Prince Harry and US actress Meghan Markle, it emerged on Tuesday.

“It has been decided that an official list of political leaders – both UK and international – is not required for Prince Harry and Ms. Markle’s wedding,” said a spokesman for Kensington Palace, the prince’s official residence. 

Former prime minister David Cameron was invited to the 2011 wedding of Harry’s brother Prince William, who is second in line to the throne after their father Prince Charles.

Harry’s place in the line of succession makes this wedding less politically significant and the couple have instead invited youth workers and military veterans to attend.
