Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, have only just returned from their royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, but the Prince is already getting ready to jet off again.
William, 31, will be heading to Memphis, Tennessee to attend the wedding of his close friend Guy Pelly on Saturday 3 May. Guy will be marrying his American-born bride Lizzy Wilson.
As William has been out of the country for the past month, he is planning a whistle-stop trip. The Duke of Cambridge will fly in for two days and then go straight home, according to The Mirror.

Prince Harry, who is often spotted enjoying nights out with Guy, is also expected to attend the club manager's nuptials.
While Kate has been a close friend of Guy's since university, the Duchess will most likely stay at home to prevent a "global media circus". The mother-of-one will no doubt want to spend quality time with her adorable nine-month-old Prince George after the family's official three-week visit overseas.
"If all three senior royals had gone it would have required a huge security detail flying to Memphis with them," an insider told the publication. "After Australia, Kate's happy to leave William and Harry to it and spend some time at home with George.
"She appreciates the media storm her attendance would cause. She's also keen to avoid overshadowing Guy and Lizzy's big day. William and Harry also don't want the thing to turn into a circus."

Guy, who was the mastermind behind Prince William's stag do, has reportedly asked the Princes to act as ushers on his big day. Other royals who will attend include Princess Beatrice and Eugenie.

The three-day wedding celebrations will kick off on Friday with drinks at the Memphis Hunt and Polo Club, close to Lizzy's family home. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit Elvis Presley's mansion nearby, where the King of Rock lived and passed away.
The main ceremony will take place on Saturday, after which guests are expected to attend the reception in fancy dress costume and party the night away. Sunday will see the extravaganza end with a lavish brunch at the club.
