The countdown is on: Meghan Markle's 37th birthday is on Saturday, August 4. So how will the Duchess of Sussex be spending her first birthday as a royal? As it turns out, she'll be supporting Prince Harry at the wedding of his childhood friend Charlie van Straubenzee, who is marrying Daisy Jenks.

Royal photographer Tim Cooke revealed that Prince Harry will serve as best man, while Prince William and Kate Middleton are also expected to attend. As People reports, Charlie's older brother, Thomas van Staubenzee, is one of Princess Charlotte's five godparents. Sounds like this weekend is shaping up to be a stylish family affair for our favorite British royals—naturally, then, we can't wait to see what the duchesses will wear.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
