I agree that Sarah should have an invite. She has stood by Andrew in spite of everything.

It seems to me that Sarah is Andrew’s wife in all but name.
I know that Andrew is persona non grata, but wouldn’t one allow one’s brother a ‘plus one’ to one’s Coronation?

Yes, I think that you’ve hit the nail on the head there BlueBelle.
I’m going off them and their ways more and more to be honest

Wouldn't expect her to come? Too far removed now, probably wouldn't invite Andrews if it was really up to him.

The Royals seem to give normal dysfunctional families a bad name.

Whoops your post wasn’t there when I posted Fanny

I think the royal family close ranks on anyone ‘different’ especially women Diane, Fergie, Meghan anyone who doesn’t doff the cap, toe the line, or be mainstream and ‘correct’ are a goner (even poor old Margaret’s didn’t fit the bill)
Kate has slotted in perfectly so has Camilla but anyone who has some spirit is sidelined as soon as possible

I like Fergi she’s whacky and spirited and fun and I don’t think it ll bother her one jot
Is that Autumn someone or other Rosie

Autumn Philips.

Omid Scobie agrees with me, he’s tweeted that ‘it’s kinda cruel’

CG if I were Charles (I realise that this is quite a stretch of the imagination) I’d consider the mother of my nieces to be family.
And he’s known her for such a long time.
I suppose they do things a bit differently from my family grin

It’s 2000 guests isn’t it? But that will include all the aristos, the statesmen and politicians, the charity worker members of the public, plus the family.

I suppose she might be offered Meghan’s seat, now we know she isn’t coming though.

Why?

Not surprised really. She’s Andrew’s ex, even if they still live together, she’s not part of the family as such. And Andy will be on the sidelines himself.

FannyCornforth Fri 14-Apr-23 07:28:03

That’s not very nice is it?
Exactly how many people are invited, I wonder?
I’d be well hacked off if I were her.

I must admit I have a really soft spot for her.
She’s a bit of an odd ball
