I removed the list of people who were not present but have been reverted, I fail to see why five people out of hundreds of other world leader that didnt turn up is particularly noteworthy. Just because the others didnt give a reaon that we are aware of doesnt make them any less notable - perhaps we should list all of the relatives and world leaders that didnt attend so as to be neutral. The reverter User:FactStraight said they were included as they were absent for political reasons although for example Ronald Reagan is listed but doesnt appear to be even mentioned in the reference used.

As there has not been any reason why these five are listed I have removed them again. MilborneOne (talk) 14:16, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thats ridicoulous. They should be back.

Why them and not the other thousands of people who didnt go. I will remove them again unless somebody comes up with a good reason. MilborneOne (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know about the elected leaders, but King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain seem to have been invited but ultimately didn't attend, as they are mentioned in the procession of foreign royals in the wedding program, as shown here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:300:C930:E055:F2B6:7084:4C24 (talk) 01:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you are saying that only ones with an official invite who then didnt turn up, hardly encyclopedic but have you a reliable reference. Might be difficult to work out those that were otherwise engaged so couldnt take up the invite it might be hard to get a reliable reference for that.

Any particular reason that you think they were. MilborneOne (talk) 14:17, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why shouldn't they? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.92.235.144 (talk) 19:44, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the June 2020 issue of Majesty magazine, Robert Gordon, who attended with the Marchioness of Cambridge, writes about gathering with other extended members of the Royal Family at St James's Palace. Captain Alexander Ramsay of Mar and The Lady Saltoun are mentioned. --Richiepip (talk) 20:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Was she invited or excluded, or was she already too ill to attend? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.234.153.115 (talk) 19:14, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
