Hey there, friends! Let me set the scene for you. It was Friday, December 15, and Ivanka Trump, the first daughter, took to Twitter to offer her heartfelt congratulations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their big day. Now, you might think this would be a simple, sweet gesture, but oh, the internet had other plans. Twitter users were quick to respond with a flurry of sharp-witted comments. Some questioned her sincerity, while others accused her of shamelessly angling for an invite to what's shaping up to be one of the most anticipated weddings of 2018.

Let's dive deeper into the conversation. Prince Harry's friendship with the Obamas has been a hot topic, and many people believe it could be a roadblock for the Trump family when it comes to receiving an invitation to the wedding. Twitter users have been comparing the Trumps and the royals, especially in terms of the "extraordinary things" this couple might achieve. The royal family hasn't made any official comments about the guest list yet, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Trumps aren't invited. After all, even the Obamas weren't present at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding back in 2011 due to security concerns.

Currently, Prince Harry has only met one member of the Trump family — First Lady Melania Trump, who sat next to him at the Invictus Games earlier this year. Interestingly, President Donald Trump once caused a stir by suggesting he would have pursued Princess Diana romantically. This comment, made in 2000 with radio host Howard Stern, was particularly controversial given it was just three years after her tragic passing.

Meghan Markle’s Complicated Relationship with the First Family

Meghan Markle's connection to the first family adds another layer to this story. She has openly criticized President Trump, labeling him as "misogynistic." However, in a twist, she once praised Ivanka Trump on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig. Back in 2014, Meghan described Ivanka as "staggeringly beautiful" and "so incredibly savvy and intelligent." These contrasting views make for quite the interesting narrative.
