Will Harry and Meghan's Wedding Invite to the Obamas Sour the Special Relationship with [Trunc]
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | December 26, 2017 | Darren Boyle

Top civil servants are afraid a wedding invite from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Barack Obama could jeopardise British and US relations.

Prince Harry has a close relationship with the former US President who will appear on a special edition of Today tomorrow.

The former Commander in Chief has been a strong supporter of Harry's Invictus Games initiative for wounded warriors.

Whitehall mandarins fear that by inviting Mr Obama and his wife Michelle it could be seen as a snub to Donald Trump.

President Trump has been highly critical of his predecessor and Government officials fear the thin-skinned billionaire might take offence if the Obamas receive a wedding invite and he does not.

Already there have been threats of mass protests if President Trump visits the UK in February to officially open the new US Embassy.

Harry has turned out to be another clueless liberal like his old man. To each his own, but if I were Trump, I would not want to waste my time attending this dolt's wedding. Furthermore, the "royal" family has lost and continues to lose whatever social cachet it ever had or has. Standards lowered and dumbed-down like pretty much everything else in Western culture.

Harry’s the JV team, and seem to be content to be subject to a vegetarian.

I don't believe Chucky is Harry's dad.

But you make the call, it's not as slam dunk as Chelsea

I wish people would stop perpetuating this silly myth. Harry is a Windsor, through and through. Look at pictures of Princess Margaret when she was younger.

All this article is saying is: “Hey, we’re important over here in the UK. We really are! Dang it! - Pay attention to us!”

We know better. We know they’re really just a bunch of wannabe wankers. I hope Trump doesn’t waste his valuable time with them.

Meghan will not be happy about having to tone down her political comments. Wait until she gets tired of being told what to do. She has Harry’s balls in her purse.

The Limeys trashed U.S. - U.K. relations when the voted against us at the UN (resolution to condemn the U.S. for recognizing Jerusalem as Capitol of Israel).

Sounds like the royals have no class at all if they associate with Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy.

I think they should be more concerned about the fall out from their vote against us on the Jerusalem question at the UN. As for Harry, he should be more careful with the friends he keeps.

There is little doubt in my mind that Trump is smart enough to realize that anyone who associated with that former whoever he claimed he was, can’t be too bright himself; and certainly has no regrets about not getting invited.

Mentioning President Trump as a “thin skinned billionaire”, while in the same in the same piece referring to the obamas (whose skin is as thin as cheap motel toilet paper), is laughable.

Those who call this cow-snot tabloid have it right.

I don’t think Trump gives a flying f.

The invite to Obama and Moochie is in poor taste either way and shows Prince Harry the Whipped has no horse sense.

While your at it Prince Harry the Whipped, don’t forget Hillary, Bill and Chelsea. They will be offended.

“As for Harry, he should be more careful with the friends he keeps.”

Harry may be a goner. From what we know about his future wife, her outspoken personality and her causes, she is bound to be nothing but trouble for Harry and the royals down the road. She will likely try to upstage them all every chance she gets until they are forced to stop inviting her and Harry to public events a la Sarah Ferguson.

"Top civil servants are afraid a wedding invite from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Barack Obama could jeopardise British and US relations."

It could DESTROY British and US relations.

A SNUB TO PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A SNUB TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

TREAD LIGHTLY!

If Prince Harry should insult President Trump in favor of President Obama, the American People will despise him.

If the British Royal Family should collude in such an insult, it would END all American support for the British Royal Family and the British Monarchy.

You are talking about a MAJOR CRISIS IN ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS!

BE FOREWARNED!

Sarah & Andrew divorced, which instantly demoted her.
