Earlier that day, Kensington Palace shared the exciting news that Harry had asked his big bro to be his best man when he marries Meghan Markle on May 19.

“The Duke of Cambridge is honored to have been asked, and is very much looking forward to supporting his brother at St. George’s Chapel,” read the palace’s statement. Harry served as William’s best man in his and Kate Middleton‘s 2011 royal wedding at Westminster Abbey.

Meanwhile, William and the Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their third child, a baby boy, together earlier this week. The couple has yet to announce the newborn’s name.
