Fergie will maintain her status as the royal family's persona non grata on April 29th. People confirmed that the Duchess of York will not be attending the royal nuptials. "She will not be attending. She never expected to be invited," a spokesman told the magazine.

Fergie, the ex-wife of Princes Charles' brother Prince Andrew, most recently brought embarrassment upon the family last May when she was filmed by News of the World trying to sell access to her ex-husband, with whom she is still close, for 500,000 pounds.

It is, however, expected that her daughters Princess Eugenie, 20, and Princess Beatrice, 22, will attend.

Fergie is currently making a documentary for Oprah's OWN Network.

What was it Groucho Marx said: "I wouldn't be a member of any club that would have me as a member."

I can't imagine thinking that is would be much of an honor to be a "royal" anachronism in 2011. How do the perpetuate this dreary soap-opera? If 75% of young people do not care about the "Royal Wedding," what's wrong with the other 25%? Are they the same people who would still vote for Quincy Bush?

She was so close to getting back in the royal fold until the sting last May. She had already been invited by the Queen to something or other before she pulled the cash for access stunt - she will never be welcome ever again and it's her own fault. She has always been her own worst enemy.

I feel bad for her since her children are 5th and 6th in the line of succession. But, she did do this to herself. Best that she sits this one out. She would be a distraction.

I think on the whole it is a good thing that Fergie is not invited - I still cannot forgive her for using her Royal connections for personal financial gain (what did her kids think about the expose video we all saw - they're members of the royal family too?). Who's to say she wouldn't use the wedding as an opportunity to do this again? There was a rumor the other day that Fergie had offered Royal content to the Oprah show. Fergie has problems managing her finances (and I do feel sorry for her and hope she has better guidance these days) but like the rest of us she first has to tighten her belt, get her priorities right and then she can go to the ball!

Yet, they invited Gary Goldsmith. He was caught in an undercover sting just like Fergie bragging about meeting William, braggin about having royal connections when Kate marries William, doing cocaine, and having prostitutes over to his house, which he called Casa de Bang Bang, roughly translated as Sex House. If they can invite him, they can forgive Fergie and bring her out of the cold for one day.

It's all over the news that he's invited, not fair. The Royal family is like a mob.

Well, she shouldn't be invited.
