Harry and Meghan were not invited to process into the abbey with Prince William, causing a dispute ahead of the service.

The book Battle of Brothers by Robert Lacey claims that Harry was furious about being shunted aside.

The phone lines hummed over the preceding weekend, but William decided to skip the procession.

The order of service made no mention of Harry and Meghan, causing a snub in black and white.
