As we near the much anticipated Royal wedding taking place at Windsor castle on May 19, Kensington Palace announced details on who will be attending. And it's clear who will not be attending.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have expressed they want the British public to feel included on their special day.
Many speculated Barack and Michelle Obama were going to attend the ceremony while Donald Trump would not be given an invitation.

Instead, the royal couple invited over 2,640 people from around the U.K. to witness the arrival of the bride and groom on the Windsor castle grounds and a carriage procession leaving the castle, according to a statement from Kensington Palace.
Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have said they want their Wedding Day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too. This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters and values of the Bride and Groom.
The statement also declared Nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices nominating 1,200 members of the British public as guests of the bride and groom.
