Blair, Brown not invited to Wills-Kat wedding
April 24th, 2011 - 2:40 pm ICT by ANI
However, their Conservative predecessors, Sir John Major and Baroness Thatcher have been invited.”It appears odd that surviving prime ministers other than Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have rightly been invited to a semi-state occasion, while they haven’t,” the Daily Mail
quoted Labour MP Michael Dugher, as saying.”It’s a surprising selection. On big occasions such as this, one would expect an all-or-nothing approach,” Labour MP Tom Watson added.Defending the act, a St James’s Palace spokesman, said “It is a private wedding and the couple are entitled to invite whoever they want to. Prince William is not the Prince
of Wales or the King, and he hasn’t got that link to prime ministers in the way that the Queen does,” (ANI)
