Prince Harry will snub his aunt Sarah Ferguson by not inviting her to his wedding, it has been claimed.
Around 600 invites are expected to go out this week for the ceremony on Saturday, May 19.
But the Duchess of York is reportedly among those not to have made the cut.
Prince Andrew's former wife remains a divisive figure in the royal family.
And an insider told the Sun on Sunday: "The Duchess of York is not invited to Harry’s wedding.
"The invites are being sent out this week and she’s not on the list."

It will be especially painful for Fergie because she will have to see many of the same royal crowd at her daughter Eugenie's wedding in October.
A friend reportedly said: "Harry and Meghan have been close to Eugenie and Jack, which had increased Fergie’s hopes of getting an invite.
"But Harry doesn’t trust Fergie to keep her mouth shut and respect their privacy."

The precedent may have been set for Harry by his older brother William who didn't invite Fergie to his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011 either.
It comes amid drama over who will be invited on Meghan's side of the family as well.
Her half-brother Tom wants her to ban his own sons from the wedding as well.
Tom Markle says Thomas, 26, and Tyler, 25, haven’t seen Meghan since both were tots.
And he accuses them of trying to cash in on the Markle name.
He also takes a swipe at his ex-wife Tracy Dooley and says of the trio: “They should not be getting any invite to the wedding.”
The outburst from Tom, 51, is the latest twist in a Markle soap opera that will cause further embarrassment ahead of Meghan’s nuptials with Prince Harry, 33.

Tom, who has the same dad as Meghan, told the Sunday Mirror: “Tracy and me stopped living as man and wife three months into the marriage because the relationship was such a disaster. She never wanted the Markle name when we were married and now suddenly she acts like she’s still part of the family.
“I don’t want her to have anything to do with us and the boys shouldn’t go along with it.
"They shouldn’t be at the wedding either."
