A source told People that Prince Harry – Duke of Sussex sends ‘his love, support and admiration for the couple’ at the Duke of Westminster’s upcoming wedding.

P eople confirmed that the Duke of Sussex (39 years old) was invited to attend the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor – Duke of Westminster at Chester Cathedral in northern England on June 7.
However, both sides admitted that it would make it difficult for Harry to attend. Meanwhile, Prince William  (Harry’s brother) is expected to act as the opening act for what is considered the classy wedding of the year

It was an “understanding between two friends”, a source said, describing the conversation between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Westminster. An insider close to the bride and groom says that Harry and the Duke of Westminster have put their heads together on the deal.

This decision will “avoid” the noise that can easily occur when the two brothers, Prince William (41 years old) and Prince Harry (still at odds), both attend the wedding.
