Irish rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll and his actress wife Amy Huberman have been invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Writing on his blog, the former British and Irish Lions skipper said it was an honour to be asked but did not say whether he would attend.

A total of 1,900 guests have been invited to the ceremony at Westminster Abbey on 29 April.

O'Driscoll is acknowledged as one of the most talented players in the world.

He made his debut for Ireland in 1999 and has scored 42 tries for his country.

He has toured with the British and Irish Lions three times, captaining the side in New Zealand in 2005.

St James's Palace has not officially released the names of invitees to the wedding but more than half are family and friends.

Not all the guests at the service will go on to a Buckingham Palace reception.

O'Driscoll is expected to be one of a number of sports stars attending, with David Beckham and his wife Victoria reported to be among the invited guests.

The 32-year-old Leinster centre married Ms Huberman in a highly publicised wedding last year.

Given his popularity in his native country, some correspondents described the nuptials as Ireland's own version of a Royal wedding.

The official website for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton went online Wednesday, a hub of information on the upcoming nuptials including eagerly anticipated details of the bride's dress.

The website, www.officialroyalwedding2011.org, includes photos of the couple as well as features, including on Westminster Abbey, where the wedding will be held on April 29, and on Buckingham Palace, the venue for the reception.

"As well as regular updates on the wedding details ahead of the event, on the day itself the site will be the first place to view information such as the details of Miss Middleton's wedding dress," St James's Palace said.

Information about the bride's gown is being kept almost as a state secret as palace officials refuse to say who the designer is, what kind of style the dress will be or even whether Kate will wear a veil.

The website also hosts the royal wedding Twitter feed as well as the latest YouTube videos of William, 28, and Kate, 29, including their recent visit to the Scottish town of St Andrews, where they met while attending university.
