PRINCE HARRY and Meghan Markle were joined by a star-studded guestlist at their wedding – but a report claims George Clooney admitted he didn’t know the couple very well.
The Queen’s grandson tied the knot in a ceremony in St George’s Chapel, Windsor, two years ago. Despite there being a lengthy list of A-list celebrities who attended Meghan and Harry’s big day, it was the cheeky expression of page boy Brian Mulroney, seven, that grabbed the headlines. The royal nuptials was compared to a red carpet event due to all the well-known faces and was watched by more than 1.9 billion people worldwide. But recently it has been claimed that the couple’s closeness to some of their famous guests may have been overstated.
Among the 600 ‘nearest and dearest’ at the ceremony were Sir Elton John, David and Victoria Beckham, Idris Elba, Oprah Winfrey and Meghan’s castmates from the US show Suits.
Hollywood star George Clooney and his wife Amal, a human rights barrister, were also in attendance and were given a “prime pew” to watch the service.
They sat next to Lady Carolyn Warren, whose husband John is the Queen’s bloodstock adviser – a specialist who oversees Her Majesty’s horse breeding and racing interests.
Despite the Clooney’s being located in a prized position during the wedding, it was claimed that they were less close to Meghan and Harry than previously thought.

Journalist Rachel Johnson recounted a “story doing the rounds” at the nuptials, which cast doubt over their closeness.
She claimed the disclosure originated from Carolyn Bartholomew, one of three women to have shared a flat with Princess Diana in Earls Court, London.
The friend was among very few people that were privy to the late Princess’ early dates with Prince Charles and was later announced as Prince Harry’s godmother.
Ms. Johnson explained that Ms. Bartholomew was “waiting for the wedding service to start” when she decided to spark conversation with those around her.
The writer continued: “She turned to the couple alongside her and asked how they knew Harry or Meghan.
