A number of famous people were left off the guest list, including President Barack Obama and most other world leaders. Also not invited were Britain's last two prime ministers, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, in a snub to their Labour Party, which traditionally is not as strong a backer of the monarchy as the ruling Conservatives.

LONDON
The Great North Door opened Friday morning under three hours
before the ceremony is due to begin. About 1,900 immaculately
dressed guests, including fellow royals from around the world, a
smattering of pop stars, sports idols and dignitaries, will jam the
abbey.
