“I wish I was there” Meghan Markle’s father Thomas reacts to the Royal Wedding

Someone with an outside shot at being Meghan's bridesmaid is tennis ace Serena Williams. Meghan and the Wimbledon-champion have been friends since 2014 when they met at a charity football game. Despite their reported closeness, Meghan didn't attend Serena's own nuptials earlier this year, so it might be that she doesn't have a role at the royal wedding.

Fellow actress Janina Gavankar has known Meghan for 15 years, with the Suits star recently gushing about their friendship in an Instagram post that read: 'Couldn't be prouder of how far we've come, and couldn't be more grateful for being able to share every step of it with you.' As a long-term pal and as someone in the same industry as her, she's got a good chance of being in the bridal party.

As the niece of Prince Harry, it would be a pretty adorable touch if Princess Charlotte was included in the bridal party. After all, she was part of her aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding earlier this year to James Middleton, so it's not like she hasn't had any practice.

As well as being her unofficial stylist, Jessica Mulroney is also one of Meghan's closest friends, after the two met when the actress relocated to Toronto to begin filming Suits. She is heavily present on Meghan's Instagram account, as is her daughter, Ivy, so we think it's highly likely that she'll have a role.

The front-runner for maid of honour is almost certainly Lindsay Roth, who chose Meghan for the same role at her own wedding last August. The Suits actress and producer and author have been friends for 15 years, with Lindsay recently telling People magazine that Meghan is 'the same girl I met years ago'. The two met at a Toni Morrison literature class during their first year of college at Northwestern University.

Another actress that Meghan is good friends with is Priyanka Chopra, who she met at a dinner celebrating women in Hollywood a few years ago. After Vanity Fair ran their cover story with Meghan pegged to her relationship with Prince Harry, Priyanka defended her friend, saying she was more than just 'Harry's girlfriend'.

As Meghan is marrying into the royal family could Kate Middleton be one of her bridesmaids?We don't know much about how close the women are but they're soon to be family so we reckon they're fairly friendly. PLUS it's going to be a royal wedding so we're pretty sure Kate (who we're guessing will be heavily pregnant) will have a role in the big day.

If you're a fan/watched Suits then you'll remember Harvey's ex-girlfriend Scottie (who is played by Abigail). She may have left Suits a few seasons ago but it turns out Meghan and Abigail are pals outside of the TV series. Could we see a Suits reunion on the big day?

If you've ever watched even a clip of Suits then you'll of course know who Donna is.Sarah, who plays the infamous character, and Meghan are close friends in real life so will we see Sarah hold the princess-to-be's dress as she walks down the aisle?

Actress and model Olivia Palermo and Meghan Markle are pals too!You may recognise Olivia from The Hills spinoff show The City. As they're both fabulous, famous and friends, we wonder if we'll see Olivia at the big day in spring.

Yup.We bet you didn't know Meghan Markle and Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh are friends?!If you've had a good old stalk on Meghan's Instagram account you'll see this adorable photo of the pair bike riding together.You know, as you do.Will we get to see the former reality star at the royal wedding?
