Prince Harry was notably absent from Lord Charles Vivian’s wedding at the weekend, despite the pair’s close friendship.
Lord Vivian, 58, who was part of Harry’s ‘band of brothers’ at his Windsor Castle wedding, married US compliance director Saweda Kamara at Chelsea Old Town Hall.
The newlyweds held their reception at The Nomad hotel, which is housed in the former Bow Street magistrates’ court and police station.
Lord Vivian confirmed that Harry was invited to the celebration.

When asked why the duke didn’t attend, Lord Vivian told reporters: “I don’t know. He has a lot on.”
The relationship between Harry and Lord Vivian runs deep. Mark Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer and close friend of Harry’s, introduced the pair.
Harry’s absence was particularly notable as he served as an usher at Vivian’s first wedding to Elizabeth Wimpress.
This is not the first wedding of a close friend that Harry has missed. In 2023, he skipped Jack Mann’s nuptials in Suffolk.

Mark Dyer, 59, was among the guests at the wedding, maintains close with Harry.
Last month, Dyer and other trustees quit Harry’s charity Sentebale, prompting the duke to resign in solidarity.
This followed a reported dispute with chairman Sophie Chandauka.
Dyer and Vivian remain significant figures in Harry’s life, despite the duke’s increasingly selective UK appearances.
