It had previously been thought that William would not be Harry's Best Man after all, as Wills revealed in January at an event that he hadn't been asked yet.
'He hasn't asked me yet - it could be a sensitive issue', the dad-of-three said at the time.
When his brother's engagement was announced, William revealed that he was 'very excited' with the news.
'We're very excited, delighted for them both', he said. 'We're wishing them all the happiness at this very exciting time.'
He then jokingly added: 'Personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and will stop scrounging all my food, which he's done for the last few years.'
