Claire Jones was appointed the official harpist to the Prince of Wales in 2007
and has taken part in more than 150 royal performances.
She said: "There's only such a small group of people that are being allowed to
perform at the wedding. And ... myself being alone in the private part of the
day, as the musician at that part of the day ... it's just a phenomenal
experience that's going to be ahead of me."
Jones says her repertoire for the event has not yet been decided but she is
looking forward to sharing ideas on the selection with William and Kate.
"I'm sure because of the connection with North Wales there'll be a couple of
Welsh pieces in there, and also obviously my background is as a classical
musician.
"I usually perform classical pieces like Bach, Handel, from the Baroque period
all the way through to the Romantic really, so there'll be a nice mixture I'm
sure."
