According to the Daily Mail, a source close to Prince Harry told the publication that two of the royal's former long-term girlfriends, Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas, were invited to his wedding in May.

Prince Harry and Davy were together from 2004 to 2011. The two reportedly met in Cape Town while the prince was taking his gap year. Though they have been in a long-term relationship, the two went through several splits but remained "amicable" about it, according to BBC in 2009.
