“They have told her there is no pressure on her to do anything, they just want her to enjoy the day.”
The Fab Four that is Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle may be reuniting at the upcoming royal wedding, but expect Kate to take a backseat to the action that occurs at the front of St. George’s Chapel.
While Prince William is widely expected to be Harry’s best man, Kate—who is due to give birth to baby number three any day now— has been told there is “no pressure” on her to do anything at next month’s wedding in Windsor. While there has been speculation in the press that Kate might have been asked to be a bridesmaid, Vanity Fair has learned that the post-partum Duchess has been relieved of any duties on the day.
“Frankly Harry and Meghan are just happy that Kate will be there given she will only just have given birth,” said a source. “They have told her there is no pressure on her to do anything, they just want her to enjoy the day.”
Harry and Meghan are said to want “small people” in the bridal party, and as Vanity Fairreported yesterday Prince George is set to be a page boy while Princess Charlotte will likely be a flower girl.
The couple are being helped behind the scenes by Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney, whose daughter Ivy is also expected to be a bridesmaid. Jessica may also have been given the role of Maid of Honor, although Palace sources have not confirmed who will be in the bridal party, andsay further details will be released in due course.
The couple’s decision not to ask Kate to take a formal role at their nuptials shouldn’t be seen as a snub, however, according to the source. “They just want Kate to be able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything. Harry has said there’s no pressure on her to do anything. They know Kate will have her hands full.”
At her sister Pippa’s wedding last May Kate was in charge of looking after Pippa’s bridal party, and she was pictured keeping George and Charlotte in check and at one point having a stern word with the little Prince when he was acting up. This time she will be taking care of a newborn and enjoying a breakfrom wedding duties.
It has been reported that Kate is due to give birth on Monday, April 23, which is St. George’s Day, but Kate has been late with her two previous pregnancies. The new prince or princess could even arrive on the couple’s seventh wedding anniversary on April 29th. Princess Charlotte turns 3 on May 2 so it’s going to be a busy time in the Cambridge household no matter what.
