Prince Harry's absence from the wedding of one of his closest friends reflects the "sad situation" he finds himself in, a royal expert claims.
The Duke's friends are said to be "disgusted by what he’s done" since leaving the Royal Family, according to Royal Editor Rebecca English.
It comes after Harry and Meghan Markle did not attend the wedding of "best man" and polo friend Jack Mann.
"We don’t know if Jack Mann’s become estranged from Harry or not, but in Harry’s memoirs, at the end he talks about how he was 'chastised' – in his words – after the interview by some of his closest friends," Richard Eden told the Daily Mail.

PA"He’s done a lot of damage to those old relationships."
Royal expert, English added: "From what I hear there are a lot of people who are genuinely disgusted by what he’s done since leaving the Royal Family.
"They feel very hurt by some of the revelations that he’s made.
"As they were growing up William and Harry created a very close-knit circle of friends around each other.
"There was almost a kind of omertà between them.
"There are people who said 'we’ve been very loyal to him over the years and we don’t feel that loyalty’s been repaid'."
Mann appeared among Harry's closest mates in the "band of brothers" photo at Windsor Castle on the night of his own wedding.
It is claimed that Mann was not just an usher for the royal wedding but was in fact the Duke's "real" best man.
