Mr Cameron would have been the first male prime minister in living memory to wear anything other than a morning suit to a royal wedding.
In the past he has always worn lounge suits to weddings, a decision stemming from his desire to avoid giving opponents an opportunity to dig up embarrassing photos from his Oxford days.
Since becoming Tory party leader in 2005, he has gone to extraordinary lengths to distance himself from his youthful excesses as a member of the Bullingdon Club, which organised raucous, champagne-fuelled dinners.
When a newspaper printed a photograph of Mr Cameron and fellow members of the ?Buller?, wearing tail coats and white bow ties, it was seen as so damaging to Mr Cameron?s image that the media was quickly banned from reproducing it.
The Conservative Party denied at the time that it had put pressure on the copyright owner, Gillman & Soame, to refuse permission for it to be printed, though the move followed rumours that Labour was planning to use it on an election poster.
The only time Mr Cameron is seen in public wearing a tail coat is when he makes his annual Mansion House speech on foreign affairs, at which formal dinner attire is considered mandatory.
