The guest list for the April 29 union of Prince William and Kate Middleton is still being kept secret, but details have begun to leak out. Some guests, like leading religious figures, have to be invited because of the magnitude of the event, even if they don't actually have a friendship with the royal family. Seelawimala, for example, has never met the couple, but has been invited primarily to show the royal family and the British government's respect for Buddhist tradition.
