Meghan Markle and Prince Harry wisely stayed away from Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson's wedding as their presence would have caused a "media storm", an expert has claimed.
Mr Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and his bride tied the knot in a lavish society ceremony at Chester Cathedral on June 7, which Prince William attended as an usher.
The Duke is close to both of the warring royal brothers, however it has been reported that Harry chose to step back to avoid an "awkward" encounter with William and distracting attention away from the married couple.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams spoke to The Mirror about the situation: "To feel you have no choice but to miss the wedding of the year is very sad.
"However, the deep rift within the Royal Family has ensured that Harry and Meghan were never going to accept an invitation to the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster, godfather to Archie and a close friend of Harry."

Mr Fitzwilliams addressed the furore that would have been caused had the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to descend on Chester for the nuptials.
He said: "They also knew that their presence would cause a media storm, especially since Meghan has not visited Britain since Queen Elizabeth's funeral."
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes that Meghan would not have been keen on the idea anyway, especially as she knows she is not popular in the UK.

She told The Mirror: "There was also the question of Meghan being unwilling to attend such a high-profile society wedding knowing that most of that very society disliked her. Why would she want to come to a country where she could be pilloried, snubbed and embarrassed?
"Hers and Harry's presence would certainly have distracted from the bride and groom and even Meghan would know that would be the height of bad manners.
"Harry issued an unofficial memo saying, 'The Duke of Sussex sends his love and support and admiration for the couple for their wedding day.'"

Meghan did not accompany Harry when he travelled back to London in May for the 10th anniversary commemorative service for the Invictus Games.
However, she did later meet him at Heathrow Airport when they flew to Nigeria together for an unofficial three-day tour around the country's major cities.
Since stepping down as a member of the Royal Family Meghan has only been back to the UK a handful of times, most notably for the Platinum Jubilee and Queen Elizabeth's funeral.
