Prince Harry has asked his brother Prince William to be his best man at his wedding to Meghan Markle, Kensington Palace has said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prince Harry had been the Duke of Cambridge’s best man at his wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011.<\/p>\n

The wedding will take place at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, on 19 May.<\/p>\n

More than 600 guests have been invited to the ceremony with 1,000 members of the public being welcomed to the grounds of Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

A further 200 guests – including the Spice Girls – have been invited to the couple’s evening reception.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Kensington Palace said: “The Duke of Cambridge is honoured to have been asked, and is very much looking forward to supporting his brother.”<\/p>\n

The palace also tweeted a picture of the pair of Princes when they were boys wearing police helmets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before his brother’s wedding in 2011, Prince Harry said his best man’s speech would “dig (Prince William) in the ribs a few times and embarrass him” and “make him lose some hair”.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Rio Ferdinand in January, Prince William joked that his brother had not yet asked him to be the best man and “it could be a sensitive issue”.<\/p>\n

The May wedding will be the second time within a month to see Ms Markle as a bride.<\/p>\n

The actor’s exit from the series Suits was shown on TV on Wednesday with her character getting married.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
