LONDON, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Britain's Prince William has asked his younger brother, Harry, to be his best man when he marries Kate Middleton this April, the BBC said Monday.

William, 28, and Kate, 29, recently announced their engagement after about eight years of dating. They are to be wed at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29.

The BBC said Kate's sister, Philippa, will be her maid of honor, while her bridesmaids will be 7-year-old Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex; 8-year-old Margarita Armstrong-Jones, the daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Linley; 3-year-old Grace van Cutsem, the daughter of William and Kate's close friend Hugh van Cutsem; and 3-year-old Eliza Lopes, the granddaughter of the Duchess of Cornwall.

Prince William is the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana.
