The Wedding
This could be the end of our relationship with the country that several presidents have called our closest ally.
The British government is reportedly concerned that President Donald Trump will be offended if he is not invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding and former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are.

However, it’s not just that Trump likely won’t be invited to the wedding and the Obamas will. Nearly a year into office, and Trump has yet to make a state visit to the United Kingdom and meet the Queen. Originally, he was set to visit the U.K. for a full state visit, including a meeting with the Queen, in late 2017.
But the visit was pushed to 2018 in July and later dropped to a “working trip” that would not contain a meeting with the monarch. And after Trump retweeted anti-Muslim videos from a British far-right group, Britain First. Members of parliament on both sides of the aisle, including Prime Minister Theresa May condemned the videos and Trump’s tweeting of them. Some members of Parliament even called to cancel the visit altogether, according to the New York Times.
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
