The others will be around Windsor to get reaction, excitement and stories from wedding guests entering the Chapel, as well as meeting people hoping to catch a glimpse of the carriage procession.
Kirsty said: "They’re a couple who seem to have captured the goodwill of the world. Yet at the heart of this national event is a very personal, modern day love story.
"It looks set to be a Royal Wedding like no other and I’m very pleased indeed to be part of the BBC One team sharing it with the nation."
