Prince Harry<\/a> was left off the guest list for his cousin Peter Phillips\u2019 wedding to Harriet Sperling on June 6 because the groom\u2019s loyalties lie with Prince William<\/a>, according to royal commentator Emily Nash. Peter Phillips – Princess Anne’s son – has not spoken to Harry for the last few years, resulting in a natural cooling off, Ms Nash told Page Six. She said: \u201cI think it comes down to interpersonal relationships, doesn\u2019t it? He wasn\u2019t invited as a result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Nash noted that Mr Phillips is \u201cvery close\u201d and \u201cvery loyal\u201d to William, describing him as a protective sounding board for the Prince of Wales over the years. She added that having both brothers there \u201cwould have put a completely different slant on the whole event\u201d and \u201cthat\u2019s not what you want on what should be the happiest day of your life\u201d.<\/p>\n

William is expected to attend the wedding along with Kate Middleton, while King Charles is also likely to make an appearance. Ms Nash called the decision to exclude Harry a \u201csmart\u201d move to prevent the occasion from being overshadowed by family tensions stemming from Harry\u2019s memoir, Spare, and his Netflix<\/a> series with Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another source told the Examiner: “It is true that in the last few years they have drifted, but Harry says he\u2019s 100% sure William is the reason that he\u2019s been getting the cold shoulder from Peter.”<\/p>\n
