Government pleads with Prince Harry not to invite Barack Obama to his wedding

GOVERNMENT mandarins are urging Prince Harry not to invite the Obamas to his wedding for fear of infuriating Donald Trump.

The property billionaire does not hide his loathing of Mr Obama and is expected to be enraged if his predecessor gets the coveted call up when he won’t.

The young Royal couple’s dislike of the new president is well known.

Hey Harry and Meghan, fuck him. Go ahead and invite your friends Michelle and Barack. We're hoping the idiot is out of office by then anyway.

Maybe tRump will explode. Orange goo all over one of his golf courses, since he spends most of his time there. Who cares if he gets upset? Does not take much to upset him, anyway. This is outrageous, that the royal couple are being pressured NOT to invite a former president who is still respected worldwide. The Brits LOVE president Obama, and the Clintons, too. LOATHE the trumps. By May, hopefully tRump will be behind bars where he belongs.

Harry can invite whomever he chooses. The Obamas are private citizens now so they can go anywhere they choose. why should the british gov try to kiss idiot 45's at Harry's & the O's expense?

bragged about trying to get Princess Diana (Harry's mother) to sleep with him. No doubt William is, too. If I was Harry, I wouldn't let the bastard within a hundred miles of the event.

And what right has Trump to tell the royals (or indeed non-royals!) whom they're allowed to invite to their own wedding?!

This is not the marriage between Charles and Diana. It won't be on that scale. It will be a more private wedding.

Harry and Meghan can invite who they like.
