Prince William and Prince Harry avoided an "awkward" encounter with each other at the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and Olivia Henson on Friday.
Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"Hugh is extremely amiable and diplomatic. He has managed to maintain a friendship with both Prince William and Prince Harry," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich said. "He had a phone call with Prince Harry, who had been invited, but they decided it would be too awkward for him to attend. Prince William is an usher, and it would have been more than awkward for him to have ushered Harry to his seat."
Additionally, both brothers wanted to avoid taking the attention away from the newlyweds on their special day.
