Sarah Ferguson 'Will be invited' to Harry & Meghan's wedding

Sarah Ferguson will be invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in a bid to heal the family rift over her divorce.

It was previously believed that the Duchess of York would not be attending the big event at Windsor Castle on May 19.

The mother of Princess Eugenie, who also recently announced her engagement, and Beatrice, was not invited to Kate Middleton and Prince William's wedding in 2011.

However, Fergie, 58, is attending Prince Harry's wedding in a bid to heal broken ties caused by her divorce to Prince Andrew. 

Kensington Palace is ready to send out invitations to the wedding this week and royal sources have told MailOnline she will be invited to at least 'part of the day'.

It is not yet clear whether this will be to the ceremony itself, or just to the reception afterwards.

But Harry is keen to ensure that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's mother is there in some way on the day.

The prince is particularly close to Eugenie, who will herself get married at St George's Chapel on October 12. In fact she was instrumental in introducing him to his previous girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

Guests will be asked not to buy Harry and Meghan presents, but to donate to a charitable fund instead. William's wedding fund raised £1million for 26 charities in 2011.
