The countdown is on for King Charles' Coronation at Westminster Abbey on May 6 and it's no wonder that many want to be there to witness the historic event.
As the Abbey is limited to just 2,000 people, the guest list for Charles and Queen Camilla's big day has been carefully controlled and limited, writes The Mirror.
This means that not everyone will get an invite, possibly leaving many disappointed. We take a look at who appears to have been snubbed so far...
Sarah Ferguson
It's just two weeks to go until Charles and Camilla are crowned and when they are, they will be surrounded by their nearest and dearest family members.
The King's former sister-in-law Sarah Ferguson will not be present on the day.
King Charles decided not to invite Fergie, despite her still sharing a home with his brother Prince Andrew and seemingly being welcomed back into the royal fold.
Fergie won't be beside her daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who are both nieces of the King, on the day.
Speaking on Loose Women last month Fergie said she will be watching at home instead. She said: “I will be having a little tea room and putting out the bunting. I love to watch it on the telly because the commentators are always good."
Lady Pamela Hicks
Another family member who is apparently not invited is one of the late Queen's two surviving bridesmaids.
Lady Pamela Hicks – whose father, the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma was Prince Philip's uncle – attended the Queen's wedding in 1947 and her funeral in a wheelchair last September.
However, she has not received a coveted invitation to the official Coronation.
Her daughter, India Hicks, said her mother would have liked an invitation and if she had received one, she would have been one of the few people to have attended two coronations - but she received a call to say she would not be invited.
Writing on Instagram, India said: "One of the King's personal secretaries was passing on a message from the King.
"The King was sending his great love and apologies, he was offending many family and friends with the reduced [guest] list.
"My mother was not offended at all. 'How very, very sensible' she said. Invitations based on meritocracy, not aristocracy. 'I am going to follow with great interest the events of this new reign.'"
Non-royal dukes
As the guest list has been slimmed down, that means that non-royal dukes have been cut from the guest list.
The palace haven't confirmed the official guest list yet for the King's Coronation, but some of the non-royal dukes who reportedly haven't been given an invitation include the Duke of Rutland and the Duke of Somerset.
According to reports, David Manners, the current Duke of Rutland, does "not really understand" why he's not been invited either.
He told Richard Eden of the Daily Mail : "It has been families like mine that have supported the Royal Family over 1,000 years or thereabouts."
Mr Eden also says John Seymour, the Duke of Somerset was "sprucing up the family state coach" in anticipation of an invite after assuming one would be extended.
Politicians
Many would expect that politicians would be invited to the Coronation - but not all.
The Telegraph has reported that just 20 MPs and 20 peers are expected to be invited along with members of the Cabinet.
Current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and former living PMs - Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and John Major - will all attend.
Politicians from devolved parliaments and assemblies are also expected there, including new Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf and Mark Drakeford, First Minister of Wales.
Foreign royals
Members from foreign royal houses from around the world appear to have been invited to the Coronation, but they have been limited.
It appears that only two seats have been allocated per family, meaning some royal houses have had to pick carefully who would attend.
In the case of the Swedish royals, the monarch King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden has been invited, but rather than bring his wife Queen Silvia, he will be accompanied by his daughter Crown Princess Victoria.
Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark are attending with Queen Margrethe missing out - but this could be down to the fact she's recently undergone back surgery.
Meanwhile, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands will be coming to London for the Coronation with wife Queen Maxima, daughter Princess Catharina-Amalia and mother Princess Beatrix.
However, when it comes to the ceremony itself, only Willem-Alexander and Maxima will be there, writes The Mirror.
Other foreign royals set to attend include King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco - although not their twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella - Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, as well as Crown Prince Fumihito and Crown Princess Kiko of Japan.
