A star-studded congregation descended on Windsor for the royal wedding in May, so it's of little surprise that Jamie Oliver wanted to be part of the big day.
The TV chef, 43, has revealed that he personally wrote to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ahead of their nuptials offering to provide food for their VIP guests - but claims he was met with a wall of silence.
Appearing on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, Oliver explained his vision of bringing 'the best of British and American chefs' together to do the catering - and said he'd been happy to do it for free.
But he blames 'slick' palace protocol for the lack of response, admitting his food empire would have been a 'renegade' choice for such a prestigious occasion.

MailOnline has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
Speaking to Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer this weekend, Oliver said: 'I did actually write and say if they want the food sorted I would bring the best of British and American chefs together to do the catering... I didn't get a reply. That is a true story.'
The father-of-five added: ‘I would have done it for free, you know, I like a bit of a moment.'
Explaining his theory on the lack of response, the father-of-five added: '[The palace is] very slick at protocol and getting those gigs done, so probably we're a bit renegade.'

Chef Clare Smyth said Meghan and Harry (pictured leaving Windsor Castle ahead of their evening reception) were heavily involved in menu planning ahead of their big day
Harry and Meghan's wedding day menu was 'very important to them', according to the Northern Irish chef, who has just been presented with two Michelin stars for her London restaurant Core by Clare Smyth
Smyth, who was recently named World's Best Female Chef 2018, has previously described catering for Harry and Meghan's evening reception at Frogmore House as a 'surreal' experience.
'The fairytale story was my lasting memory from the wedding,' she told Hello!. 'It couldn't have been more perfect... it was completely surreal.'
Clare, who became the first woman to hold three Michelin stars when she presided over Gordon Ramsay's restaurant on Royal Hospital Road, called the couple 'just brilliant'.
Clare Smyth, seen in Monaco in 2012, was the lucky chef chosen to provide catering for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's evening reception at Frogmore House in May 2018

'They were involved in the menu, it was very important to them... it's a once in a lifetime thing so it's nice to be a part in it,' she told the magazine.
Clare is believed to have prepared an organic menu that included posh burgers with Wagyu beef and pork belly for guests invited to the Frogmore House reception following Harry and Meghan's spectacular ceremony on May 19th.
Not only was she tasked with catering the royal wedding in the spring, Clare was also this year awarded two Michelin stars for her London restaurant, Core by Clare Smyth in North Kensington.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
