REPORT: Prince Harry wants Obama at his wedding but UK govt. worried about 'infuriating' Trump

There’s a report out in The Sun that says Prince Harry wants former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama at his wedding next year to American Meghan Markle, but they’re afraid of how President Trump might react:

The Sun: Sr. govt source said: “Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it’s causing a lot of nervousness.. Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a Royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the Queen." https://t.co/A3hmlRyjgG @tnewtondunn

Harry interviewed Obama for the BBC and Trump did come up, although not by name, when the former president commented on “irresponsible” social media use:

Joy Reid thinks Harry and Meghan should invite anybody they want to the nuptials:

This is silly. They should be able to have anybody they want at their wedding. Not everything has to be about Donald Trump. https://t.co/fhpNVroCiM

And libs are hoping for fireworks:

Lovely answer from Prince Harry on whether Barack Obama will be at his & Meghan Markle’s wedding:
“Who knows whether he’s going to be invited or not…wouldn’t want to ruin that surprise” [grins]

I look forward to a day of stony tweet silence from .@realDonaldTrump https://t.co/qZ3COOCP2M
