Robert Pattinson thinks life is going to be "hard" for Kate Middleton after she gets married to Prince William.

The brunette beauty is to tie the knot the prince on Friday in the most highly-anticipated wedding in recent years and the 'Twilight' star says he has lots of sympathy for her because she's going to be under so much pressure once she becomes a member of the British Royal Family.

He said: "It's going to be hard (for her) because people will lay responsibilities on her that seem totally irrelevant. You can't mess up, either. As an actor, you can kind of mess up - but not if you're a royal. I've always liked the members of the royal family who couldn't care less what anyone thinks: the ones who go, 'I'm royalty - so shut up!' That's one of the coolest things about England, I think, that we still have this crazy old system in place."

The British actor - who now spends most of his time in America - says he will be definitely watching the wedding as he finds the event "fascinating".

He added to the Radio Times magazine: "Yes, I'll definitely be watching the royal wedding. I mean, they're absolutely obsessed with it in America, it's insane ... but I guess it's kind of a big deal. Actually, I think it's really sort of fascinating."
