No Autumn wedding for the Cinderella of the Royals

Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy's joy at being reunited after his tour of duty in Afghanistan has been soured, I can reveal, by a pointed snub by other members of the Royal Family.

In a move that has upset the Prince and his 22-year-old Zimbabwean girlfriend, Chelsy has not been invited to the wedding of Princess Anne's only son Peter Phillips to Autumn Kelly in May.

Snub: Chelsy Davy has not been invited to the wedding of Princess Anne's only son Peter Phillips

Chelsy has been left off the guest list even though Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton has already received her invitation to the nuptials, which will take place at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

Friends say everything between Harry and Chelsy is "peachy" again after their brief split in December, with the Prince planning to join his girlfriend imminently at her parents' apartment in Cape Town, where she is staying for the Easter holidays.

But while the couple are blissfully happy to be back together again, it seems not everyone in the Royal Family shares their joy.

Chelsy has been left off the list for the wedding and all the invitations have gone out now," confirms my source.

"Peter and his fiancee Autumn sent invites out a few weeks ago for what is going to be a very small and private occasion.

"The explanation being offered is that, at the time, Harry and Chelsy were going through a wobble. But Chelsy sees it as a direct snub and is pretty miffed at not having been invited, especially as Kate plans to go."

It is the latest snub to Chelsy, who was also not invited to join the Royal Family on their Easter skiing trip to Klosters.

As I revealed two weeks ago, Kate and William were invited on the trip by Prince Charles, and even Kate's sister Pippa has joined the Royal party.

"Chelsy feels like she is often left out of family engagements," the source adds. "She was not invited to ski, which doesn't bother her because she'd rather go home to Cape Town, but she would like to have been invited to Peter's wedding. She's becoming the Royals' Cinderella."
