Reported by royal author Roya Nikkhah for the Times, the Prince of Wales is set to fulfill the role of an usher at this esteemed society wedding, slated to unfold at Chester Cathedral on June 7, casting a regal presence amidst the esteemed gathering.
Amidst the absence of King Charles and Queen Camilla, who embark on a journey to France a day prior to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, Prince William stands as a notable figurehead, representing the royal entourage.
Intriguingly, the Duke of Westminster has extended invitations, including 'save the date' cards, to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, yet reports suggest they have respectfully declined, perhaps aiming to avert potential encounters with the estranged royal family.
Consequently, Prince William is destined to stand amidst a congregation of 400 guests, notably devoid of immediate royal kin, imparting a sense of solitude amidst the grandeur of the event.
The guest list remains shrouded in mystery regarding the participation of non-working royals such as Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice or the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, leaving an air of anticipation surrounding the final roster of attendees.
