ITV ditch Meghan Markle's extended family for royal wedding coverage

It’s been revealed that members of Meghan Markle’s extended family who haven’t been invited to the royal wedding, but are loitering around London regardless, won’t be given any airtime by ITV’s broadcast.

Good Morning Britain has said that Meghan’s extended family – her former sister-in-law Tracy Dooley and son Tyler who’ve turned up uninvited – won’t be appearing on as part of their coverage. The pair are considered somewhat estranged family members and haven’t seen the future royal in two decades, but were due to provide their insight to the channel.

Despite neither having received an official invite to the wedding itself, they’ve both been spotted around the UK capital and have been doing several interviews over here as well as having done a series of media interviews since the news broke about her engagement to Prince Harry was revealed.

The pair were set to be GMB’s ‘special correspondents’, where Tyler previous told the programme: ‘I talked to her probably about three years ago.’

Tracy said: ‘I don’t think we are getting invitations, but that is fine, we are so proud of her.’

However ITV have now done a u-turn, after GMB presenter Piers Morgan was involved in a heated interview with Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle earlier this week.

Since the incident, producers have had a change of heart and decided against using either Tracy or Tyler anymore in any of their broadcast which started from 9.25am on the day.

The royal wedding, in case you didn’t know, takes place this Saturday on 19 May.
