Michelle Obama is likely to exasperate courtiers with her comments about the royal wedding after they went to such lengths to accommodate the White House.
Even after it was clear that Prince William and Kate Middleton would not be sending a wedding invitation to the White House, Michelle Obama still appears not to have given up hope.
"If I get invited, I'll go," the First Lady said on the Live With Regis and Kelly Show on American television. She conceded, however, that, as things stand, she had not been invited.
Her comments are likely to exasperate senior courtiers, who – as I reported on Nov 14 last year – had to put off naming the wedding date until a week after announcing the engagement because White House officials were not at first certain when Barack Obama and his wife would make their first state visit to Britain. Obama's men, adamant that the two events should not clash, subsequently agreed May 24 to 26, almost a month after the royal wedding, as the dates for his visit.
Although the wedding will clearly be exclusive – I disclosed on Saturday that Sarah, Duchess of York, is not invited – the President may feel he had a lucky escape. One confirmed guest at the wedding will be Hamad bin Isa Khalifa, the King of Bahrain. Last week, to the dismay of the White House, his kingdom's security forces opened fire on protesters demanding reforms.

Pleasepleasepleaseplease, royal couple, do NOT extend an invitation to the 1st wookee!
Sarkozy and Bruni weren’t invited either. None of which excuses her spectacularly bad form angling for an invitation on national TV.
x3...sorry....
What a no class broad.
Either it doesn’t occur to these people that they are not wanted or they choose not to believe it.
At any rate, if the President and First Lady of the USA are left off the list you can assume there’s a damned good reason why.
I’ll bet she wouldn’t be hoping for an invitation if SHE had to pay for it. Geeez. We never should have elected the party crowd.
Hey, Chewie, unless your favorite facial complexion color is cyanotic blue, don’t hold your breath.
OMG you took the words right outta my mouth
Whatever happened to manners? If you’re not invited, YOU’RE NOT INVITED!!
Perhaps the invitation was sent to Kenya by mistake.
I hope that she stays up waiting..............
“If I get invited, I’ll go,”
You weren’t invited! She’s such an embarrassment ! Why didn’t she just say we weren’t invited & we understand that they aren’t inviting heads of state unless they’re personal friends of the family ?
I also suppose Moochelle would play a round of golf at Augusta National - IF she were invited. Hee hee.
Mrs. Great Leader, after an exhausting day at the White House since her Colorado President’s Day vacation, is yearning for a little ‘me time’ in London.
That chair has got to be made of titanium.
