The invitations are sent out on behalf of Harry's father Prince of Wales and just says, 'His Royal Highness Prince of Wales requests the pleasure of the company of...'

The seals on both wedding cards are different too and very telling. While William and Kate's wedding invites had the Queen's initials and her crest, Harry and Meghan's invite has the embellished badge of Charles.
