Although her fiance Prince Harry will have his brother Prince William as his best man, Meghan Markle will not have a maid of honor, according to People.
“She has a very close-knit circle of friends and she didn’t want to choose one over another,” a palace spokesman said on Friday. “All have been actively involved in helping her prepare for the day and will be there in the days beforehand. She’s very happy to have their support.”

Princess Diana's siblings, Lady Jane Fellowes, Charles Spencer, and Lady Sarah McCorquodale will be involved in the wedding.
