So the big royal wedding is on with dignitaries and leaders from all over the world expected to be in attendance ... all except President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama.
What?
So much for the special relationship that Cameron's been banging on about when the Obamas announced their state visit to the UK in May.
Here comes the spin from the royal camp: this wedding doesn't count as a "state occassion" because it does not involve an heir to the throne, so there is no requirement to invite world leaders.
Then why were President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy invited to Fergie and Andrew's wedding back in '86. Andrew was then as William is now, second in line to the throne.
Another line: the couple want to invite activists, charity workers and exceptional citizens. Is that why that legendary campaigner, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is on the guest list?!
What's all that about?
