LATEST SOCIAL NEWS, HOT OFF THE PRESSES – AT 12:44 P.M. ET:   There is drama.  There is crisis.  I will not rest until I know the outcome.  From the New York Post: 

What a royal headache .

The British government is in a tizzy that Prince Harry and fiancée Meghan Markle will invite former President Barack Obama to their spring wedding and fears that President Trump will take it as a snub and cause relations between the two allies to chill even further, according to a report Tuesday.

“Harry has made it clear he wants the Obamas at the wedding, so it’s causing a lot of nervousness,” the Sun reported, citing a senior government official. “Trump could react very badly if the Obamas get to a royal wedding before he has had a chance to meet the Queen.”

The relationship between Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May has been a rocky one, with the leaders lashing out at one another during a number of controversies.

Most recently, May chastised Trump, calling him “wrong” for retweeting anti-Muslim videos posted by a far-right British group in November .

And while the prince bonded with the Obamas during the Invictus Games in September in Toronto, his bride-to-be referred to Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign as “divisive” and “misogynistic.”

The Sun reported that May, whose invitation to Trump to come to England for a state visit was met with protests and petitions against it , could have the final word on whether the president will be on the guest list for the May 19 wedding.

COMMENT:  No matter what is decided, our president must be the big guy, the gracious guy.  Warmly congratulate Harry and Meghan, send a toaster from Bed, Bath, and Beyond (bought with the store's 20% off certificate), and be done with it.
