One user, @Zoeinthesky, asked: "Who invited James Blunt to the royal wedding?"

James had a witty reply to the now-deleted tweet, writing back: "I’ll give you two guesses."

While the star may seem an odd choice to attend the nuptials, he is in fact a friend of the royal groom.

He served in the army with Prince Harry, 33, and was personally invited by him to attend the Invictus Games.

While he was all suited up, his other half looked incredible in a floral dress and fascinator.

The funny Twitter exchange came as the newlyweds sealed their marriage with a kiss on the steps of the chapel.

They tied the knot in a groundbreaking modern ceremony complete with a gospel choir and eccentric American bishop.
