A spokesperson for the couple told the Daily Mail: 'I can confirm that Wolfie will be best man.'

'The ceremony will be followed by a private reception, given by the Queen, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.'
Buckingham Palace is an extraordinary location for a reception - the Queen hasn't offered it since The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot in April 2011.
Some have speculated that the Queen’s incredibly kind gesture is a sign that she is sticking by the Yorks amid the controversy surrounding Prince Andrew.
After getting engaged in Italy in September 2019, the couple said in a statement: 'We are extremely happy to be able to share the news of our recent engagement.
'We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together and can't wait to actually be married.
'We share so many similar interests and values, and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness.'
We're excited for the next royal wedding!
