Prince Harry expertly fields question on whether he's inviting Obama to his wedding
Prince Harry definitely knows how to handle a difficult question.
The prince bagged former U.S. President Barack Obama's first interview since leaving office, during his stint as guest editor of BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Wednesday.
The two definitely had the banter, and you can tell that they're close.
But presenters from the Today programme interviewed the prince after the Obama session. And the hosts asked him directly what everyone wanted to know: Would Obama get an invite to Prince Harry's wedding to American actress Meghan Markle in May?

"Well, I don't know about that. We haven't put the invites or the guestlist together yet so who knows whether he's going to be invited or not. Wouldn't want to ruin that surprise," Prince Harry said.
The question is especially on everyone's mind as The Sun reported, citing a "senior government source," that the government doesn't want Prince Harry to invite Obama to his wedding as it would risk the former president coming to a royal wedding before President Donald Trump has a chance to meet the Queen.
Prime Minister Theresa May has invited Trump for an official state visit, which would include meeting the Queen, but the visit hasn't been scheduled amid fears that it would be met with mass protests.
Prince Harry's entire interview with Obama is well worth a listen. We all need something to kill the time while we're waiting for our wedding invites, right?
