"When you know you have to give a best man speech, I always say, never drink more than two glasses of champagne before you give your speech," he says at the Spear's Wealth Management Awards, at the Saatchi Gallery.
"Once you have three, you will think you are being funny when you are not, as I have learnt to my detriment in the past."
Van Cutsem's own wedding, at Chester Cathedral in October 2004, which was attended by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, played a significant role in the recent history of the Royal family.
When, to her dismay, Camilla Parker Bowles read in Mandrake that Royal protocol meant she would be unable to sit beside the Prince of Wales at van Cutsem's marriage to Lady Tamara Grosvenor she told the heir to the throne she was no longer prepared to accept her unmarried status. Four months later, their engagement was announced.
William was an usher at the wedding of Lady Tamara, who is the Duke of Westminster's eldest daughter.
At Westminster Abbey, and at the subsequent reception, van Cutsem, 37, who is one of Charles's godsons, could be joined as a 'supporter' by Thomas van Straubenzee.
He has been pals with William since they met at Ludgrove prep school and accompanied him on his first official tour, to the Antipodes.
