Last weekend Prince Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle were show stoppers at their friend Tom "Skippy" Inskip's wedding to Lara Hughes-Young in Jamaica.

And unfortunately, the attention surrounding the new couple did not go down well with Pippa Middleton, who's expected to marry James Matthews in May.

According to the Daily Mail, pals of Middleton have said the 33-year-old is planning on enforcing a "no ring, no bring policy."

"She saw how all eyes were on Meghan rather than Lara last week," a friend of Middleton told the Daily Mail. "The situation was also stressful for Harry. Pippa and her mother, Carole, wonder whether Meghan’s presence could cause a great deal of unnecessary chaos."

With Middleton afraid of Markle possibly stealing her thunder on the big day, the bride has considered not extending a late invitation to the Suits actress.

Middleton is due to wed the hedge-fund manager on May 20, 2017, at the St. Marks Englefield in Berkshire. For the reception guests will travel to Carole and Michael Middleton's home in Bucklebury, where they are set to host the celebration in a luxury marquee in the garden.

Kate Middleton will not be a bridesmaid, but she'll likely do a reading at the ceremony.
