UK Prime Minister said he wanted the occasion to be "a day of national celebration" and said he was in favour of the extra day off.
A spokesman for the couple said they had seen Mr Cameron's comments and were also in favour of a bank holiday, but had yet to settle on a date for the wedding.
When the Prince's father, the Prince of Wales, married Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, the nation was granted a day off work. The wedding took place on a Wednesday. Mr Cameron told a committee of MPs: "There is a debate I think we ought to have – obviously not knowing what the date is yet – but whether there ought to be a bank holiday. I think if it's in the middle of the week it would be a very good idea to have a bank holiday."
He added: "Even if it's at a weekend I think there would be a great temptation to have a bank holiday, a day of national celebration to mark what is happening."
