Diana’s older sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, is set to give a reading at the [Royal Wedding ceremony on Saturday](http://time.com/5261498/royal-wedding-time/). Fellowes is set to read from the Song of Solomon, according to the [royal wedding order of service](http://time.com/5259825/order-of-service-royal-wedding/) released before the wedding. Kensington Palace said in a [statement](http://time.com/5265721/royal-wedding-2018-diana/) before the wedding that Prince Harry was “keen to involve his mother’s family in his wedding.” Besides Lady Jane Fellowes, Diana’s other siblings, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Charles Spencer, are also set to attend the ceremony. > [](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/992389025678929920) “Prince Harry and Ms. Markle both feel honoured that Lady Jane will be representing her family and helping to celebrate the memory of the late Princess on the wedding day,” Kensington Palace said in the statement.
