A royal snub! King Charles III’s coronation celebration has a strict guest list and Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, didn’t make the cut.
The 74-year-old king “did not invite Fergie to the coronation,” a source confirms to Us Weekly.

Charles, for his part, has been vocal about streamlining the monarchy at public events. That mentality was seemingly confirmed by not inviting Ferguson. (The My Story author was previously left off the guest list for Prince William and
