Los Angeles - Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton have both invited their ex-partners to their wedding.
Prince William has invited four of his former loves, including his first girlfriend Rose Farquhar, Arabella Musgrave and socialite Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, in addition to Jecca Craig - who was rumoured to be his first true love and is one of his closest friends.
Jecca will attend with her new partner, Captain Philip Kaye, who is one of the prince's polo-playing friends.
Kate has sent invites to ex-boyfriend Rupert Finch, whom she dated at St Andrews University before meeting William, and Willem Marx, who she is said to have dated at school.
Honeymoon
Also on the invite list is Kate's multi-millionaire uncle Gary Goldsmith - referred to as the family's 'black sheep'.
The property developer, who sold his recruitment business for £275m in 2005, was covertly filmed in Ibiza in 2009, where he openly discussed Kate's relationship with Prince William and boasted about meeting him, while reportedly cutting up cocaine.
Celebrities on the guest list include sportsman David Beckham and his designer wife Victoria Beckham, film director Guy Ritchie and his pregnant partner Jacqui Ainsley along with actor Rowan Atkinson.
The Middletons have also invited a number of friends from the tropical of Mustique, fuelling speculation that the happy couple will honeymoon on the Caribbean island.
