Prince Harry received a 'save the date' invitation to the Duke of Westminster's wedding but turned it down to avoid an 'awkward' clash with his relatives, a Sussex source has claimed. Harry and Meghan, pictured at the Invictus Games in September, turned down a 'save the date' to the Duke of Westminster's wedding to avoid an 'awkward' clash with the royal family, sources claim Reports had claimed Hugh Grosvenor, left, decided not to invite the Sussexes to his wedding to Olivia Henson, right, so the row between Harry and William wouldn't overshadow his big day But a source close to Harry, 39, claims he called the duke to say he and Meghan would not be attending because 'it would be too awkward'. Camilla Parker Bowles was invited to his sister Lady Tamara Grosvenor's wedding but was told that she would not be permitted to sit with Prince Charles and would have to sit several rows back. The Sunday Times reported that the Duke had wanted to invite Harry and Meghan, pictured in New York last month, but decided against it as he feared the tension it would cause with other Royals Known as Hughie to this friends, the billionaire Duke is also godfather to Prince George, the oldest child of The Prince and Princess of Wales Ed Van Cutsem and Lady Tamara Grosvenor leave their wedding service at Chester Cathedral on November 6, 2004 The duke, whose Latin family motto Virtus Non Stemma means Virtue not Ancestry, was Earl Grosvenor until 2016, when his father died and he became the seventh duke.
