Will Kate Middleton be a bridesmaid at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding?
Kate and Meghan will soon be in-laws - but will the Duchess of Cambridge play a part on the wedding day?
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are getting married on May 19, and everyone is desperate to know details of the big day.
People are speculating whether the Duchess of Cambridge will have any involvement on the day - so here is the lowdown.
Will Kate be one of Meghan's bridesmaids?
Kate Middleton, aka Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge is not likely to be a bridesmaid at Meghan and Harry's nuptials according to author Marlene Koenig, .
And more than that, we're probably not even going to see her in the bridal party.
Marlene explains: "The Duchess of Cambridge barely knows Meghan".
Kate's status as a married woman also rules her out of being both a bridesmaid and a maid of honour, both roles that are traditionally reserved for single ladies.
And being married to Prince William is another reason she won't be chosen according to Marlene.
She continues: "For another, she is the future queen consort when William becomes king after his father, and would unlikely be an attending person to another royal bride."
Kate also didn't make an appearance at Meghan's hen do, reportedly held at the exclusive Soho Farmhouse in March.
But it might not have been through lack of an invitation, as Kate was heavily pregnant with Prince Louis at the time.

Who is Prince Harry's best man?
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince Harry has asked brother Prince William to be his best man at his wedding.
When Prince William tied the knot to Kate Middleton in 2011, he selected Prince Harry for the honour.
Technically tradition dictates that there is never a best man at a Royal wedding, so Will was breaking this rule himself when he asked Harry to be his best man.
Instead, there is a role of "supporter" for those closest to the happy couple, but Harry has torn up the rule book like his brother.
