While Prince Harry and fiancee Meghan Markle's royal wedding date is approaching and the preparation is currently underway, it seems like the prince has overlooked one area--the role of best man. Everyone is thinking that his brother Prince William will be Harry's best man at the wedding. However, Prince William surprisingly revealed that his younger brother hadn't approached him about it.
"He hasn't asked me yet, just to clear that up," Prince William joked while speaking with U.K. radio host Roman Kemp on Wednesday, January 10. The Duke of Cambridge continued, "It could be a sensitive subject."

The 35-year-old British prince also addressed the conundrum of the wedding and the F.A. Cup soccer final, which both take place on May 19. A president of the Football Association, William revealed that he's "still working" through it.
The question emerged when William was discussing the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a mental health charity aimed at preventing male suicide which recently launched a project called "Best Man Project". Former British soccer star Rio Ferdinand asked the prince if he would miss the big game for the wedding. William responded by saying that he's "trying to see what I can do" about the situation.
William has been putting a lot of attention on the subject of mental health. The prince noted that after the 1997 death of their mother, Princess Diana, he and Harry bonded after speaking openly to one another about their feelings. "Our relationship is closer than it's been because of the situation we've been through," William shared. "Losing our mother at a young age has helped us to travel through that difficult patch together. You're like-minded. You go through similar things, it's a bond and it's something you know you've tackled together and come out better for it."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding will take place at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
