Or not need only depend on one person, it's entirely up to the executive to pursue, and we know who heads the executive. Not that I'm saying he should be invited, but if he is not, then nor should any former president, to maintain neutrality.
ETA: St. Georges chapel Windsor can accommodate 800 people. That's a pretty huge non-state wedding party.
Traditionally, totally agree.
However, he's not the next in line, it's obvious he has a relationship with President Obama and not the other one.
The U.K. I'd imagine from reading a while back isn't fond of trump in general.
He'd probably end up just hitting on the bride anyhow. Guy would go bonkers since the day isn't all about him and try to make it that way some how.

Americans won't fault Harry.
Propriety isn't doing what you want to do, it's doing what you need to do. It's irrelevant the distance from the throne Harry stands. It's a royal wedding, if any president is invited propriety should infer the current, then other former presidents are options as invitees. The fact Obama was president should preclude invitation unless the current incumbent is invited regardless of personal relationship.
Look these people are well paid to work at improving British causes, that doesn't stop at family functions. If they don't want to do that, there's always getting a proper job.
This sure is a lot of uproar over dubious hearsay that the sensationalist rumour-mongering media is spreading around and merely speculating over yet knows nothing about.
I doubt that either Obama or Trump or any other American dignitaries representing USA will get invitations to this wedding. There is no social or political reason for any of them to be invited. This wedding is not a political or world event, they are not intimates or personal friends or family members of the wedding couple.
I think the wedding will be kept relatively low key and intimate. It's not as if this wedding needs to be a big splashy affair attended by scads of foreign dignitaries like William and Catherine's wedding was required to be with all the pomp and splendour.
For Harry and Meghan a splashy wedding is not required and there would be nothing to gain by such imprudence. They will invite their family members and personal friends, albeit some of those close friends will be foreign dignitaries/celebrities that Harry has been acquainted with most of his life.
Neither Obama or Trump are included in any of those categories. For that matter hopefully Trump might not even be POTUS by the time this wedding rolls round, so whether or not he was invited would be a moot point.
I'm sure Harry will wear his military dress uniform but I'm betting that the bride will not even wear a traditional long trained white wedding gown. She'll wear something else chic and classy but still low key in a different colour and style.
Are you kidding me? You libs have lost your marbles this morning. Trump is living the American dream and you've somehow put yourself in his head that he wants a castle and coat of arms and nothing else will do. The bitterness in these posts today is bizarre.
....... Trump is living the American dream ........
Sorry, but if Trump is living the American dream then that speaks very poorly for the embodiment of the American dream. It would have been more realistic for you to say that Trump represents the American nightmare.

The Queen is a head of state. Her functions are a STATE matter. Trump qualifies to be invited to those.
The Queen and Prince Phillip DID NOT attend the civil wedding ceremony of Prince Charles and Camilla and Prince Charles is their son and the heir apparent!
It IS NOT a state occasion. Trump doesn’t have to be invited.
Propriety concerns should preclude inviting the most inappropriate person on the planet.
It’s a royal wedding but it’s a PRIVATE matter.
