Prince Harry is reportedly expected to be absent from the wedding of his cousin Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling in the Cotswolds.According to the article, the decision is linked not only to Harry's ongoing estrangement from Prince William and other members of the Royal Family, but also to lingering resentment over events surrounding Peter's first wedding in 2008.At that time, Peter Phillips and his then-wife Autumn Kelly agreed to sell exclusive photographic rights to Hello!magazine for a reported £500,000.

Harry was said to be upset because he believed photographs taken during the ceremony were for private use and was unaware they would later be published extensively.

The issue was particularly sensitive because he had brought his then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy to the wedding and had arranged for her to meet Queen Elizabeth II for the first time, while Catherine Middleton was also meeting the Queen.

Harry and William were reportedly concerned about protecting the privacy of their partners at the time, making the publication of the photographs especially controversial.The article states that Harry was angered when he discovered the magazine coverage and attempted to contact Peter after the event.Eighteen years later, sources cited in the report claim that Harry and Peter have had little or no contact for years.

Meanwhile, Peter Phillips is preparing to marry NHS nurse Harriet Sperling in what has been described as a relatively intimate family ceremony attended by close relatives, including Zara Tindall and other members of the extended Royal Family.
