When we learned that Prince Harry had finally asked his big brother, Prince William, to stand by his side as best man on his royal wedding day, we couldn't help but hold back tears at just how touching the decision was.
Just six years ago, the then 27-year-old prince served as best man to William at his wedding to Kate Middleton, and has continued to uphold a strong bond with his in-law, nephews and nieces.
So, imagine our glee this morning when we caught sight of Prince William arriving at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle alongside his brother.

Arriving in a blacked-out Mercedes people carrier, the brothers stepped out and looked adorable as they waved to fans.
Dressed in the uniform of the Blues and Royals, the groom walked alongside his brother, who was beaming as they both waved to well-wishers outside the ceremony, attended by approximately 600 of the bride and groom's loved ones.
The Princes continued on to be seated in the chapel where it appeared that Prince William was telling jokes to ease his brother's pre-wedding nerves. So cute.
Following the announcement that he'd been chosen as Harry's best man, William joked that 'revenge is sweet', amid rumours that the groom-to-be had played the ultimate prank on his brother on his 2011 wedding day.
Last month, ITV aired the documentary Invitation To A Royal Wedding which told the story of how Prince Harry caused a stir on Kate Middleton and Prince William’s wedding day.
Master chocolatier Barry Colenso, who created Prince William and Kate Middleton’s second chocolate tiffin cake, explained in the programme: ‘We’d just finished the cake, and I remember Harry came bounding in.
‘Then he pretended to box with the top decoration. We were all like: “Oh no!”.’
Fortunately for the chocolate connoisseur, he and his team had made an emergency cake for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding day which they had to personally drive to Buckingham Palace.
We wonder what practical joke William will play on Hazza today. Play your bets!
