Holy Royal Diss! What are they drinking over in Buckingham Palace? Does it have hallucinogenics stronger than salvia?
What else could explain the snobby snub of President Obama and First lady Michelle? I don’t care how much William and Kate Middleton want to have more of a “people’s wedding.” I don’t care that William’s not a sovereign or a direct heir to the throne. I don’t care that the wedding will be smaller and less ostentatious than Prince Charles‘ wedding to Princess Diana.
None of that, in my opinion, can excuse the biggest potential rift between Great Britain and the U.S. since, well, the War of Independence!
I mean come on William- your St. James Palace spokesman said “it is certainly not the case that all foreign heads of the state will be excluded. The guest list is still being drawn up and could change, but as things stand it’s right (to say the Obamas will not be invited).”
Ewww! That’s a double diss. You and Kate will find room for other heads of state like French President Nicholas Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni, but not the President of The United States???
Why are they more worthy? Are you afraid that they’ll chunnel into Westminister Abbey no matter what? Do you not realize that the U.S. is Great Britain’s biggest ally? Don’t you remember William how your mother Princess Diana loved coming to America because she felt more free here?
Or is this payback for Michelle Obama breaking with precedent and hugging the Queen on her first visit to England? Are you afraid that The First Lady might get to touchy, feely again?
Or is this finally an even bigger diss, a more historic payback for America breaking free of Great Britain’s sovereignty? William- have you secretly been really pissed off that America is no longer part of your kingdom?
Prince William and Kate Middleton, I urge you to rethink and redraw your guest list. You can still have lots of charity workers attend your wedding. Surely there’s some duke or dutchess that can be cut. It’s only two seats!
But they are the two most important seats that need to be filled by our President and our First Lady. Snub them and you snub 310 million of us!
Snoot us out if you dare!

As someone who holds a dual citizenship.. British and American
I find the the Obama’s to be clueless with it comes to Royal protocol. The Number ONE rule is do NOT ever EVER touch the Queen! Years ago such an act would have sent Ms Obama to the tower. The President has done nothing to form a relationship between our two countries and it has come back to bit him in the butt. On a side note I don’t think this Presidency has done much to build relations with ANY country.
