Peter Phillips is officially engaged to Harriet Sperling, and while the announcement delighted royal watchers, it also put an end to one lingering question:

Will Harry and Meghan get an invite?

The answer, in the unmistakable spirit of Princess Anne:

“Not bloody likely.”

A Royal Engagement, Minus the California Drama

Peter, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest grandchild, and Harriet, a fellow divorcee, shared their happy news through Hello! Magazine, accompanied by picture-perfect engagement photos.

The official statement noted that King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine were informed of the engagement.

Who wasn’t in the loop? The Sussexes.

That absence spoke louder than words, and the media immediately began speculating:

Could Harry and Meghan attend?

Would Archie carry the rings?

Would Lilibet scatter petals shaped like dollar signs?

The answer: Absolutely not.

Princess Anne Has Zero Patience for Drama

Princess Anne has built a reputation for no-nonsense decisions, and her son’s wedding won’t become a Montecito PR opportunity.

Peter did not include Harry and Meghan during the Platinum Jubilee.

He hasn’t seen Harry in years and has never met Harriet.

This event is about family, not photo ops or Netflix content.

This wedding will be private, elegant, and drama-free—exactly how Anne likes it.

No Royal Replay for Meghan

This won’t be Royal Wedding 2.0 for Meghan Markle.

There will be no tiara moment, no lavish aisle walk, and no chance for a “reunion narrative.”

Meghan already received her fairy-tale moment in 2018, greenlit by Queen Elizabeth herself.

As one royal insider might quip:

“You don’t invite ex-colleagues who burned down the office and then wrote a book about the furniture.”

Peter & Harriet Deserve a Peaceful Celebration

Reports suggest Harriet is well-liked by the royal inner circle—a key difference from the California couple’s strained history.

Expect the wedding to be:

Small and intimate

Understated, elegant, and traditional

Free from Montecito “surprises” and last-minute drama

For once, the royal family seems determined to protect a happy family occasion from turning into another tabloid spectacle.

Final Word: RSVP Denied

Harry and Meghan can keep their tiaras on the shelf because this wedding sends a clear message:

“Not invited. Not this time. Not ever.”

Peter and Harriet finally get their moment in the royal spotlight—without the California clouds.
