Prince Harry is set to miss his close friend’s nuptials on Friday while his brother, Prince William, serves as an usher.
The Duke of Westminster is set to wed his fiancée Olivia Henson, 31, at Chester Cathedral on Friday in what is billed to be the society wedding of the year.
Hugh Grosvenor, 33, has long had close associations with the monarchy and is the godfather of both William and Kate’s eldest son, Prince George, 10, and Harry’s son, Archie, five.
However only one of the royal brothers will be attending the celebrations amid continued tensions between the pair.
A source close to Harry told People magazine that he decided against attending the wedding after acknowledging the difficulties his presence would cause.
The King is not expected to attend the nuptials, given his ongoing cancer treatment and his recent appearance at the D-Day commemorations, while Kate remains recuperating at home from chemotherapy.

Report: Prince Harry pulled out of Duke of Westminster’s wedding after realising ‘challenges of his attendance’
Prince Harry decided against attending the society wedding of the year after acknowledging the difficulties his presence would cause, it has been claimed.
After months of speculation, sources close to the Duke of Sussex told People magazine that he had spoken privately to his longtime friend, the Duke of Westminster, about the challenges of his attendance before they mutually came to the decision.
Given his strained relationship with his brother Prince William, who is serving as an usher, the decision avoids any awkward run-ins which could have overshadowed the big day.
