Last November the internet went into meltdown with the announcement of a royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. And it wasn't long after that there was much speculation as to when and where it would be, and more importantly, who would be best man and bridesmaids!

Well of course when it came to the part of best man, all eyes turned to Prince Harry's older brother, Prince William. After all they're brothers and who knows him better? However, it has emerged in a recent interview that Prince William HASN'T been asked to step up - yet.

Prince William was recently in London for the launch for the aptly named Best Man Project, a new mental health initiative supported by Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm). This was when he was asked about possible best man duties.

With just a few months to go until the wedding Prince William revealed, "He hasn't asked me yet - it could be a sensitive issue!"

He was also asked about the awkward clash that he has on Prince Harry's big day. Last year it was revealed that the 19th May is not only the royal wedding, but also the FA Cup Final. A date that was in the calendar for quite some time. With Prince William being the President of the FA, it could make things a little awkward for him.

Replying to a question put to him by former footballer Rio Ferdinand he said, they are "still working" on the clash.

Prince Harry and Suits actress Meghan Markle announced their engagement last year with a statement on Twitter. The statement read 'His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle.

'The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.'

The venue and date were then confirmed as Saturday 19th May 2018 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

At the time of their engagement the couple posed for the press, showing off the gorgeous engagement ring which was designed by Prince Harry himself.
