Important question: would you go on Privacy policytelevision just to announce you haven't received an invitation to the royal wedding?

That's exactly what Meghan Markle's nephew did. In a painstakingly awkward interview with Good Morning Britain, Meghan's nephew, Tyler Dooley, and his mom, Tracy, confirmed they were not one of about 600 people to be invited to the service on May 19.

With a not-at-all-bitter tone, Tyler said "who knows" whether they'll receive invitations. (Sure, maybe they're just stuck in the mail.) He did make sure to emphasize his love and support for Meghan, just in case, ya know, she's watching Good Morning Britainwith two extra invitations in hand.

"So you haven’t ruled it out?" The host Susanna Reid ask, determined to drag out this torture. Tracy, who was married to Meghan’s half-brother Thomas until 2001, is a bit more realistic saying “I don’t think we’re going to get the invitation and that’s just, that’s fine…”

Later on the broadcast it's revealed that Tyler hasn’t spoken to Meghan in three years, and Tracy hasn’t seen her in twenty. This reasonably leaves host Richard Madeley incredulous. “Well then it doesn’t seem unreasonable for you not to be invited, does it?” He asks. “I mean, if it’s 20 years, you’re pretty much on the fringes, aren’t you, of the family, to be honest?”

We agree Richard, you should only go on television to subliminally beg for a wedding invite to St. George’s Chapel if you’ve talked to your ex-husband’s half-daughter within 5 or less years. It's simple etiquette! Tyler obviously doesn't watch The Crown.
