When Meghan Markle says "I Do" to Prince Harry at the Royal Wedding this Saturday, she'll be accompanied by some seriously adorable flower girls.

Earlier this week, Kensington Palace confirmed the names of the six young 'bridesmaids' we'll be seeing at St George's Chapel. Princess Charlotte has made the cut, along with four of the soon-to-be-wed couple's goddaughters. 

Rounding out the group is Ivy Mulroney, the four-year-old daughter of one of Meghan's closest friends.

Ivy is the youngest child of Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney, whom the actress befriended while she was living in Toronto during the filming of Suits.

Their friendship was evident on the Suits star's now-defunct Instagram account, where she would regularly post photos of herself with the fashion advisor.

In fact, Jessica and her husband Ben are said to have been instrumental in helping Meghan keep her relationship with Prince Harry under wraps during the early months.

"[The Mulroneys] had them over at their house for dinners because it wasn't easy for them to go out in public without the risk of getting spotted," a source told E! News last year.

While 33-year-old Harry got along with all three of the couple's children, little Ivy was especially taken by him.

"She, of course, has no idea that he's a prince though - he's just auntie Meghan's special friend Harry, who sometimes comes over with fun presents!" the source said.

The royal couple's bridal party is a reflection of how close they've become to the Mulroney family.

Ivy's two older brothers, John and Brian, will both serve as page boys on the big day, alongside Prince George and one of Harry's godsons.

It was long speculated Jessica Mulroney would be Meghan's main bridesmaid, with Ladbrokes slashing odds on the PR maven-turned-stylist two months ago.

Ultimately, a Kensington Palace spokesman said the bride-to-be opted for a children-only bridal party.

"She has a very close-knit circle of friends and she didn’t want to choose one over another," the source told the Daily Telegraph.

However, Jessica - who also happens to be a bridal stylist - is believed to have worked closely with the 36-year-old throughout her wedding preparations - in particular, her hunt for the perfect bridal gown.

"They've tried on a number of different designs and are currently whittling it down to pick the best design for the day.”

Jessica also helped to piece together the outfit Meghan wore when her engagement to Prince Harry was announced in November.
