The Blair and Groom

Was this the reason the two Labour Prime Ministers were snubbed from the Royal Wedding? 

These scenes were depicted in Michael Sheen's The Queen, also starring academy award winning Helen Mirren. Prince William is said to have grievances with him after he used the death for political capital and boosting his approval ratings to record levels.

Blair revisted both his meetings with the Queen, which is strictly against the code. However more controversial was his revival of his disagreement with William

“I had also spoken to William who was not only still grieving but angry. He knew, rationally, why the week between Diana’s death and the funeral had to be as it had been. But he felt acutely the conflict between public position and private emotion.”

This would have deeply upset William to see such a personal issue published without his consent and it is therefore completely understandable that the Labour PM was omitted from the guest list. The rest of the royals were neither to keen either. Cherie Blair often snubbed the royals, while Blair forced the Queen to follow Blair's protocol in the funeral proceedings over her own methods, perhaps more sensitive to the emotions of the young princes?
