Britain's Prince Harry and fiance Meghan Markle have chosen George and Charlotte, the children of the royal's elder brother Prince William, to be among the bridesmaids and page boys for their wedding, Harry's office said on Wednesday.

Also selected for the much-anticipated event at Windsor Castle on Saturday are the couple's goddaughters and godson, and the children of one of her best friends.

Harry's office said last week that all the bridesmaids would be children and that Markle had decided not to have a maid of honour because she could not choose between her friends.

Princess Charlotte, 3, will be joined as a bridesmaid by:

  • Florence van Cutsem, 3, and Zalie Warren, 2, Harry's goddaughters.
  • Remi and Rylan Litt, 6 and 7,Meghan's goddaughters.
  • Ivy Mulroney, the four-year-old daughter of her friend Jessica Mulroney.

Mulroney's sons Brian and John Mulroney, both 7, will also join Prince George as a page boy along with Harry's godson Jasper Dyer, 6.
