Unless something went terribly wrong at the post office, president Obama and Michelle will not be attending the royal wedding.
Prince William and Kate Middleton claim that they want their wedding party to take place infront of “ordinary citizens” – hence the invitation sent out to David and Victoria Beckham, Elton john, and the King of Bahrain.
