Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte are to have starring roles at their aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding next month.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s young children will accompany Miss Middleton down the aisle as page boy and bridesmaid.

Today Miss Middleton confirmed their key roles at her wedding on May 20, following months of speculation.

Pippa, who was Kate's bridesmaid at the royal wedding to Prince William in 2011, ties the knot with millionaire financier James Matthews at St Marks' Church in Englefield, Berkshire.

Spencer Matthews, James's reality TV star brother, will be best man, but it's also been confirmed that there's no official role for 33-year-old Pippa's sister, Kate.

A source has confirmed that Kate will be taking a backseat during the nuptials.

Prince Harry is also officially on the guest list, although there is no official word on whether he will be accompanied by his girlfriend Meghan Markle.

The two will have been dating for almost a year by the time of the wedding.
