Another Royal Snub! Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Didn't Pick Zara Tindall's Daughter Mia As Bridesmaid For Their Wedding In 2018
It’s been over a year since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry said their “I do’s” in front of their friends and family, as well as millions of viewers around the world.
It was surely the most expected and talked-about event of the whole year. The bride looked stunning but her adorable bridal party stole the show.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge children were picked to be a part of it but Zara and Mike Tindall’s daughter Mia wasn’t. Why?
Was it a royal snub?
Prince Harry is believed to be very close with his cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike. The pair were invited to the royal’s wedding but Tindall’s daughter was not picked as Meghan’s bridesmaid.

There were 10 bridal party members but neither Mia nor Zara’s brother Peter Phillips’ two daughters Savannah and Isla were seen amongst them.

It’s a long-standing tradition that royal children play key roles at family weddings but the Sussex couple decided to break it. Meghan and Harry chose friends’ kids and godchildren instead, with the exception of Kate and William’s offspring.

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe believes that the couple wanted to make sure Meghan was ‘represented’ because it was her wedding, too. So the choice of the bridal party members was hers to make.
He explained:
Bridesmaids are often the choice of the bride rather than the groom and it may be that Meghan doesn’t know Mia and Savannah very well – if at all.
Zara later admitted she felt very ‘uncomfortable’ during the wedding. But it wasn’t because she didn’t like the fact that her daughter was left out from the bridal party.

Tindall was pregnant with her second baby who ‘kicked the hell out’ of her ‘for an hour.’ So there shouldn’t be any bad blood between the Tindalls and the Sussexes – at least we hope so.
