# Royal Aides say William is first to ever break 'supporter' protocol
# The couple will have four bridesmaids and two page boys
# Kate's sister Philippa to be maid of honour on April 29
Prince William broke with tradition today and asked his brother, Prince Harry, to be his 'best man' - rather than 'supporter'.
Kate Middleton has asked her sister Philippa to be her maid of honour it was revealed on the British Monarchy Facebook page today.
As tradition dictates, Prince Harry will now be responsible for organising William's stag party.
But the marrying Prince has dispensed with the the usual rule that male members of the Royal family don't have a 'best man' but a supporter when they tie the knot.
It is thought to be the first time the 'supporter' has been appointed.
The Prince of Wales chose his brother Prince Andrew to be his supporter when he married Diana at St Paul's Cathedral in 1981.
When a non-Royal is marrying a Princess, it is usual for a best man to be appointed.
It was also revealed today that William and Kate will have four bridesmaids and two page boys on their big day on April 29.
The wedding details were announced on the same day that it emerged that the couple would be paying an official visit together later this month to the university where they met.
