Prince George, Princess Charlotte and pop star Robbie Williams’ daughter Theodora will have starring roles at Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s eldest two children and Williams’ six-year-old daughter, who is known as Teddy, will be among the pageboys and bridesmaids at the celebration in Windsor on Friday.
Prince George, five, will be joined by fellow page boy Louis de Givenchy – the six-year-old son of JP Morgan banking executive Olivier de Givenchy and his wife Zoe.
Groom Jack Brooksbank has asked his brother, Thomas Brooksbank, to be his best man, while Eugenie’s older sister Princess Beatrice will be her maid of honour.
They are protective over their young children, and choose not to show their children’s faces when they post on social media.

The Queen’s granddaughter is marrying drinks executive Mr Brooksbank in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
More than 800 guests will gather in the 15th-century Gothic chapel, five months after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex staged their star-studded nuptials in the same venue.
It will be the third time future king George and his confident three-year-old sister Charlotte have performed the roles at a wedding.
They were pageboy and bridesmaid at their aunt Pippa Middleton’s nuptials in 2017, then at the wedding of their uncle Harry to Meghan Markle in May, and carried out duties at the marriage of Kate’s friend Sophie Carter last month.
The inclusion of five of the Queen’s great-grandchildren – George, Charlotte, Savannah, Isla and Mia – will delight the monarch, as will the special role for her youngest grandchildren, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn.
Savannah, Isla and Mia – a lively trio – are often seen playing together at horse trials.
George, who attends private school Thomas’s Battersea, is thought to be missing school to attend the royal wedding.
But private schools are exempt from the £60 penalty which can be levied on parents who take pupils on term-time holidays from state schools without permission.

Maud Windsor – the granddaughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent – is a classmate of George’s.
Former Take That star Williams, who performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012, and his wife Ayda are now certain to be heading the list of celebrity wedding guests.
Williams once reportedly claimed to have smoked marijuana in Buckingham Palace.
