Princess Charlotte and Prince George have yet another wedding in store for them where they just might be reprising their roles as bridesmaid and pageboy one more time.
According to The Sunday Times, Thomas van Straubenzee, long time friend of Prince William as well as godfather to Princess Charlotte, is to marry Lucy Lanigan-O'Keefe, who is assistant head teacher at the Thomas’s Clapham. She also teaches mindfulness and outdoor learning at Thomas’s Battersea.

It isn’t clear how the couple came to meet each other, but Royal Correspondent Roya Nikkhah said "nobody would be surprised if Prince William or his wife, Kate, were involved”.
Not much is known yet about the wedding, but it has been confirmed that Prince William will be in attendance as an Usher at the ceremony with his children by his side.

The Prince and Van Straubenzee apparently go way back, having been friends since their days attending a boarding school in Berkshire. In fact, Van Straubenzee and his brother, Charlie, have both been friends with Prince Harry and Prince William for a very long time.
Charlie Van Straubenzee got married to Daisy Jenks back in August, in a wedding attended by most of the royals, with the absence, however, of the children.

It looks like wedding fever might have recently struck the royal circle, however, so Lucy and Thomas should set a date pretty soon to assure the attendance of little Charlotte and George. Princess Beatrice is reportedly head over heels for boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, which could mean yet another royal engagement can be just around the corner.
We’re happy for the lovebirds, and wish them nothing but the best! Make sure you drop a comment to congratulate the new couple, and pass this along to your friends and family to spread the good news!
