And well, we can't say that we are completely opposed to the idea:
Surely Jemima doesn't need an invite. She is the mother of the PM's sons.

@Jemima_Khan must be honoured in the prestigious event. As she owes Pakistan and Pakistani public owes her also. She deserves all the honours. Foreign Secretary must invite her.

Earlier, Goldsmith had congratulated her former husband on his victory.
After 22 years of struggle, Khan now looks to be on his way to being the next Prime Minister of Pakistan. “22 years later, after humiliations, hurdles and sacrifices, my sons’ father is Pakistan’s next PM,” the tweet read. “It’s an incredible lesson in tenacity, belief and refusal to accept defeat. The challenge now is to remember why he entered politics in the first place. Congratulations, Imran Khan,” she wrote.
