Janina Gavankar is Asian, as is Amal Clooney.

Harry wasn't marrying an Asian and the Guest List was up to the bridge and groom as with any wedding and despite the event being televised it is essentially private.

Although you don't seem to comprehend this.

I'm quite surprised Brits are OK with practicing what is clearly racial discrimination in their "pomp and circumstance" events, such as a Royal Wedding.

Just heed the warning. They're as bigoted as ever.

You're up to three, now. Three. In all of the UK. Do you not see how CLEARLY racist this is?

I was surprised CNN covered the wedding. It took time away from their coverage of their Russian collusion commentary.

It's a private event they can invite whoever they like.

YOU made the claim. Don't be so lazy. Do your own research.

Private events aren't televised globally. The event just highlights UK's perpetual bigotry.

They didn't have to have it televised if they didn't want to, indeed Prince Charles chose not to televise his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles at very the same Chapel.

As for the guest list it was down to the Bride and Groom (as with most weddings) and they decided on no politicians at all and only representatives from commonwealth and allied countries.

The rest of the congregation was mainly made up of family and friends.

However they did allow some members of the public, the armed forces and charities to attend, as Prince Harry served in the Armed Forces for over 10 years and is involved in charitable work with injured service personnel.

There is also another Royal Wedding at the same Chapel on 12th October 2018 when Prince Andrew's Daughter Princess Eugenie marries Jack Brooksbank.

So what percentage of the wedding should have been Asian since this seems to be of great concern to you?

Should the guests have been subjected to a DNA test so that their Asian heritage would have been revealed? Maybe some of the choir members are of Asian descent.
