ITV News reported that William has been struggling to work out how he could attend both but has decided to put his wedding duties first and miss the match at Wembley.
William is expected to be his brother’s best man when Harry weds his American actress fiancee at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Both Kensington Palace and the FA declined to comment.
One Twitter user remarked: “He’s putting his brother before the FA cup final, how dare he?”
Another said “It’s the right thing to do. His only brother” while some quipped “So there’s a spare ticket going?”
