The wedding of Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips next month will serve as a stark reminder of the sad state of relations between the royal cousins,including Prince Harry.

The $30 million wedding that exposed the rift

The wedding of our now King and Queen in 2005 was filled with smiles and laughter, but the close bond between the giggling and grinning relatives will not be seen at Peter's nuptials.

Instead, the nuptials will lay bare the strained relations between the royal cousins who were once so close, having all grown up together.

Prince Harry is not expected to attend his cousin's big day due to 'lost touch',a stark contrast to the close bond they once shared .

As the royal family continues to navigate the complexities of modern life, it's clear that the once-strong ties between the cousins have frayed.

The wedding of Princess Anne's son Peter will be a poignant reminder of the sad state of relations between the royal cousins.

As the family gathers to celebrate the union, it's clear that the rift between the cousins is a deep-seated one, with no clear signs of reconciliation on the horizon.
