I think the reason Harold Wilson didn't make it to Kate's wedding was on account of his being dead, rather than his political viewpoint.
Also, Wilson got a lifetime peerage, whereas the Thatcher's got a hereditary peerage, meaning good ol' boy Mark Thatcher is now a peer. I suppose he's a good man to have around if you need somebody to clarify some points on international arms smuggling.

The "hidden message" in Blair not getting a knighthood is that the Queen is a 80+ year old woman and about as far to the right as you can expect. Same reason that neither of the two living labour prime ministers got invited to the recent royal wedding; the royal family is as Tory as you get.
