ROYAL FAMILY
Prince William serves as usher at Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor’s wedding while Prince Harry stays away
Prince Harry is set to miss his close friend’s nuptials on Friday while his brother, Prince William, serves as an usher.
The Duke of Westminster is set to wed his fiancée Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral on Friday in what is billed to be the society wedding of the year.
Hugh Grosvenor, 33, has long had close associations with the monarchy and is the godfather of both William and Kate’s eldest son, Prince George, 10, and Harry’s son, Archie, five.
However only one of the royal brothers will be attending the celebrations amid continued tensions between the pair.
A source close to Harry told People magazine that he decided against attending the wedding after acknowledging the difficulties his presence would cause.
The King is not expected to attend the nuptials, given his ongoing cancer treatment and his recent appearance at the D-Day commemorations, while Kate remains recuperating at home from chemotherapy.
