Meghan's nephew Tyler Dooley and his mother Tracy spoke on Good Morning Britain from Medford, Oregon, saying they weren't expecting an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding, but were excited for their actress turned royal big day at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
Tyler said: "We’ve not got anything yet. At this point, who knows? This all goes back to Meghan, it’s her day and her happiness."
Tracy, who was married to Meghan's half brother Thomas Markle Jr, added: "I don't think we're going to get an invitation, and that's fine.
"We're OK with that and we're supporting her. We're so proud of her."

She said she was sure that "plans were in place" for Meghan's father Thomas to walk her down the aisle, adding: "I don't think he's waiting for his invitation, because I'm sure they already have the plans in place, and for me talking to him he's very excited to be a part of it."
Tyler and Tracy haven't spoken to Meghan for several years.
Instead of attending the big day in May, the pair will instead fly over to the UK to be part of Good Morning Britain's coverage of the wedding.
But the pair were met with a mixed reception by Good Morning Britain viewers, with one viewer saying: "Why would you expect an invitation if you've not spoken to them for years??"
Another added: "She's not close to them!! Who invites every single one of their relatives to their wedding??"
