While palace staff are behind the scenes planning the century's biggest wedding with Kate and William, the only question that remains is who's behind the prince's bachelor party?

Apparently, twenty-nine-year-old Guy Pelly will be doing the honors. And just who is he? Well, he's considered a chum of both William and Harry, besides playing "court jester" for the aristocratic set to which they belong. Obvious choice.
The club owner just opened a new London hotspot called Public, ironic considering how private Pelly can be. When grilled by the New York Times about party details, he smiled and burst out laughing.
Monarchy expert Katie Nicholl explains to the Times, "Guy is very much the life of the party, but he is also fiercely loyal and protective of the princes. There is a lot of history there." A key asset when you're heir to the throne and everyone's covering you.
Guy has been a member of the brothers' camp for almost twenty years. He'd met William and Harry in 1997, just after their mother's passing. In fact, the club proprietor is so high in the social circle that he features in the cast of the upcoming Lifetime movie on Wills and Kate.
He is just as well-known for his ability to enjoy a few pints with William and Harry as he is for his discretion. Guy has even escorted Kate when her boyfriend's out of town.
Rumors are flying that the bash could be located in South Africa, as the three have ridden motorcycles together there, but Pelly's lips are sealed regarding his friend's party.
Nicholl feels that there is a greater chance he will throw a high-security bash/bachelor weekend geographically closer as William bids his single life with friends goodbye, before the April 29 wedding to fiancee Kate Middleton.
Wouldn't we love to get an invite to that party!
