Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Bridesmaids and Pageboys Were Just Announced
Today’s biggest royal wedding update—aside from the ongoing saga with Meghan Markle’s dad, of course—comes straight from the palace, which officially confirmed the entourage of 10 pageboys and bridesmaids who will be leading the way for Markle as she heads down the aisle on May 19.
There will be six bridesmaids and four pageboys—all children seven years old or younger. Not surprisingly, Prince Harry’s niece and nephew—Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince George, 4—will take starring roles in their respective groups. After all, they have experience: They were bridesmaid and pageboy at aunt Pippa Middleton’s wedding last summer.
As for the rest of the gang, the bridesmaids will include two of Prince Harry’s goddaughters. First up is Zalie Warren, who is two years old and has a twin, according to the Mirror. (Her twin sister, India, isn’t a goddaughter of Harry’s and therefore will not be a bridesmaid.) Zalie is the daughter of Zoe Warren and the Queen’s racing manager John Warren—who himself is a godchild of the late Princess Diana.
There’s also Florence van Cutsem—another of Harry’s goddaughters—who is three years old. She’s the daughter of Alice van Cutsem and Nicolas van Cutsem, a friend of Harry’s since childhood. Florence is the cousin of Grace Van Cutsem, the adorably grumpy little girl who went viral at Will and Kate’s 2011 wedding:
Markle also has two goddaughters as bridesmaids: Remi, 6, and Rylan Litt, 7. They’re the daughters of Darren and Benita Litt, the latter of whom is a brand curator/bag designer based in L.A.
Joining the squad is Ivy Mulroney, 4, pictured below. She’s the child of two of Markle’s closest friends: Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney and her husband, Ben, whose father is the former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. (Ben himself is a TV host.)
Along with Prince George, Harry’s godson, 6-year-old Jasper Dyer, will be a pageboy. Dyer is the son of Amanda Dyer and Mark Dyer. Mark is a former equerry (officer of the British royal household) to Prince Charles and is often referred to as Harry’s “second dad.”
Also joining the fun are Ivy Mulroney’s brothers: Brian and John Mulroney, both 7. (You can see both in the Instagram below.)
And, because they’re just too cute, here’s a photo of all those Mulroney kids together:
Adorable, no? We can’t wait to see these kids in action on the big day.
