When most people think of Prince William’s famous wedding to Kate Middleton back in 2011, they will likely recall that William’s brother Prince Harry took on the role of best man.

However while many fans may have believed the duties to have exclusively fallen on Harry’s shoulders, it has seen been revealed that one of William’s closest friends Thomas Van Straubenzee, also secretly acted as his best man on the all important big day.Thomas and William have known each other since they attended Ludgrove Prep School - over 30 years ago, with their enduring friendship having seen them both present in each other’s lives for every triumph, tragedy and milestone moment - including the birth of the royal children.

Thomas even boasts the title of godfather to Princess Charlotte, but the duo have a more recent connection that binds them that is lesser known.

As reported by MyLondon, the recent link that William shares with his old friend is through Thomas' wife, Lucy Lanigan-O’Keeffe, who worked as a teacher at Thomas' school in Battersea, which was previously attended by both Prince George and Princess Charlotte before the family relocated to Windsor earlier this year.
