In recent months, royal fans had speculated that the bride-to-be’s BFF Jessica Mulroney, future sister-in-law Kate Middleton, fellow actress Priyanka Chopra or tennis champ Serena Williams would possibly fill the maid of honor role. Who Is Meghan Markle’s Maid Of Honor?
Though they won’t be in the bridal party, Meghan’s friends have been lending a hand in her wedding prep nonetheless. “They have been actively involved in helping her prepare for the day and will be there with her the day before in London,” the palace rep added, according to the Daily Mail. “She will be pleased to have their support on the day but they have no official role.”
All the bridesmaids and page boys will be children, Kensington Palace announced. The decision follows British royal wedding tradition, as the roles of best man or maid of honor are not usually part of the ceremony. Prince George and Princess Charlotte are expected to be a page boy and bridesmaid, or flower girl, respectively.
Prince Harry’s best man will be Prince William, which the palace announced last week. Harry previously served as his brother’s best man at his royal wedding in 2011.
