Sharon Bush, the former wife of Neil Bush—the son of the late former President George H.W. Bush—said she was not invited to his funeral.

Sharon told the New York Post that she wanted to attend the event and sit with their three children, Lauren, Pierce, and Ashley, but Neil’s secretary informed her that it wasn’t possible, saying there were not enough pews in the Washington National Cathedral.
