Washington, April 10: US President Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama are not invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the White House and royal officials said on Tuesday. The royal wedding will take place on May 19.

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "It has been decided that an official list of political leaders -- both UK and international -- is not required for Prince Harry and Markle's wedding."

Trump, First Lady Melania were not invited, nor were any other elected US officials, a White House official said. Obama and his wife Michelle, who are close to the couple, will also not be attending was reported by some news channels. British Prime Minister Theresa May or Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn won't be invited too, the report said.

The palace said the decision was made based on the church's size and the fact Harry is only fifth in line to the throne.
