Has Mick Jagger left date open for Harry’s big day?

THE Spice Girls have hinted they will perform at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding — but could they be muscled out by an even more venerable British musical institution?

The Rolling Stones are leaving blank the weekend of the May 19 Windsor wedding on their UK tour itinerary.

A pal of the Stones tells me: ‘Keith Richards isn’t bothered about the royals. But Mick is probably expecting an invitation — maybe that’s the reason he’s keeping the date free.’

Sir Mick Jagger does have some reasons for optimism.

Prince Harry is said to be a fan of the band and was at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival, where he watched them with his then girlfriend, Cressida Bonas.

He met the band backstage and even warned guitarist Ronnie Wood, 70, not to make any passes at 29- year- old Cressie. ‘He said it was great to see me again and then he introduced me to his bird,’ Wood disclosed.

‘I gave her a cuddle and he said: “Oi, get your hands off.” He was very funny. It was great to see him.’

If Sir Mick, 74, is invited to St George’s Chapel, Windsor, it would not be the first time that he and Harry have been at the same wedding.

When the Prince’s stepbrother, Tom Parker Bowles, tied the knot with fashion journalist Sara Buys in 2005, both he and Jagger were among the congregation.

Teacher’s son Sir Mick has always yearned to be part of the establishment.

Ex- girlfriend Marianne Faithfull says he always craved a knighthood because he is ‘a tremendous snob’.

It was a view echoed by Rolling Stone guitarist and songwriter Keith Richards .

‘He’s such a snob,’ moaned Richards. ‘He can come off that way even to me and the rest of the band.’
