Other bridesmaids and page boys are made up of young children from friends and members of the royal family, including Louise Windsor, the daughter of Williams uncle Prince Edward.

William Lowther-Pinkerton, son of Williams private secretary, and Tom Pettifer, son of the princes former nanny and his godson, will be the two page boys.
Details of all the outfits they will wear will not be given out until the wedding day, Clarence House said.
It also announced the couple will undertake two official engagements later this month, a naming ceremony for a lifeboat, and a reception to mark the start of the 600th anniversary of St Andrews University in Scotland where they met as students.
