The month before that, Barack Obama made a surprise appearance at a wheelchair basketball match at the Invictus Games in Toronto.

Harry's brother, Prince William, and his wife, Princess Kate, had a handful of British politicians in attendance at their wedding in 2011, including then-Prime Minister David Cameron.

Prince Harry is fifth in line to the throne, while William, 35, is second in line, behind the brothers' father, Prince Charles. Harry and Markle's wedding is not a state occasion, like it was when William and Kate were married in 2011 at Westminster Abbey.

It is also unclear if Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Trudeau -- who are personal friends of Harry and Markle and have known Markle for many years in Toronto -- may be invited to the wedding or reception. Kensington Palace declined to comment.

Harry and Markle have invited 600 guests to their wedding ceremony and a lunchtime reception at St. George's Hall, Kensington Palace announced last month.

In the evening, a smaller group of 200 of the couple's closest friends and family is being invited to a reception hosted by Prince Charles at Frogmore House.
