Kate Middleton Snubbed: Duchess Not Invited To Alexandra Knatchbull And Tom Hooper Society Wedding Of The Year

Talk about a Royal snub for Kate Middleton! Alexandra Knatchbull, the great-granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, did not invite the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to her June 25 wedding. Amanda’s wedding to Tom Hooper was billed as THE society wedding of the year!

Prince Charles gave away the bride, Queen Elizabeth was in attendance with Prince Philip, Princess Anne was a guest, as well as several minor Royals from around the world.

What makes this even more of a snub, Princess Diana was one of Alexandra’s godmothers and the bride’s father Norton Knatchbull, Lord Brabourne, l is one of Prince William’s godfathers. The bride’s brother Nicholas was a dear friend and school mate of the Duke of Cambridge’s at Eton.

Just who is Alexandra Knatchbull? Alexandra is the great-granddaughter of Lord Louis Mountbatten, Prince Charles great uncle who was also Charles’s closest advisers until he was murder when the IRA set off a bomb in family’s fishing boat on August 27, 1979.

Prince Charles once called Lord Mountbatten the grandfather he never had.

Now you might understand why leaving Kate and William off the guest list was perhaps Alexandra’s way of saying she and Tom Hooper are not fans of Kate Middleton’s and that’s probably putting it mildly.

Maybe Alexandra didn’t put the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the guest list because Prince William and Alexandra’s brother had a falling out after Nicholas was arrested 2000 by Royal Protection offices for possession of drugs. Apparently the good chums never spoke again.

You think Alexandra Knatchbull would want the future King and Queen of England at her high society wedding to Tom Hopper. No matter what went on between Alexandra’s brother Nicholas and Prince William 16 years ago, this was THE society wedding of 2016.

Camilla Parker Bowles didn’t appear to be in attendance at this very important society wedding. But that would have been a bit in poor taste considering Princess Diana was one of Alexandra’s godmothers.

We wonder what Prince Charles thought about his son William and daughter-in-law Kate being left off the guest list. Come back to CDL for more Royal news and gossip.
