Prince Harry and Meghan have chosen not to invite political leaders to their nuptials and it appears Mr Corbyn has a busy diary on Saturday. A spokesman for the Labour leader was asked after PMQs if Mr Corbyn would watch the royal wedding on TV this weekend and he replied: “There’s catch-up, isn’t there?” He said the 68-year-old republican had various engagements scheduled for the weekend including an economic conference. During PMQs Mr Corbyn wished the royal couple “all the best” and praised Prince Harry for his work on on mental health as it is also Mental Health Awareness Week.

Mr Corbyn will be addressing Labour’s State of the Economy conference while Prince Harry and Meghan tie the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said: “He wishes them all the best and he is a particular admirer of the work Prince Harry and Prince William have done in relation to mental health issue.” The long-time critic of the Royal Family recently made calls for the monarchy to give up control of the Commonwealth after saying Prince Charles should not automatically succeed the Queen as head of the Commonwealth. Mr Corbyn told Andrew Marr in an interview the Royal Family no longer control the Commonwealth organisation.

He also said Britain needed to apologise for its “immoral and brutal” colonial past. The Labour leader suggested that after the Queen, the figurehead of the 53-nation historic body, should be rotated between its member states. He explained: "I think the Commonwealth ought to really get a chance decide who its own head is. The Queen is obviously very personally committed to the Commonwealth. "After her, I think it’s time for the Commonwealth to decide who its own president is on a rotational basis."
