No vol-au-vents for Syria after all

[Chil1234]

Ambassador's invitation to royal wedding withdrawn Shame really. I thought big events like this were a good opportunity to knock a few international heads together.

Just heard this on R4

It did make me wonder though, who has overall responsibility for the wedding invitations? It was Wiliam Hague ho withdrew the Syria invite

The invitation protocol is that it isn't a state occasion... hence why Blair and Brown aren't invited but Major and Thatcher (as Knights of the Garter) are. But the FO has been making some bloopers in recent times and Hague has to get to grips with why that is.
