What You Need To Know About The Royal Wedding Of Prince Harry And Meghan Markle


All eyes will be on the UK on 19 May when a member of the Royal Family will marry an American actress. The fairytale wedding has captured the imaginations of royal watchers from Hollywood to Hampshire - but there are some questions a Brit would never think to ask.
Prince Harry, grandson to the Queen and the son of the Prince of Wales and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, is marrying Hollywood actress Meghan Markle. He is sixth in line to the throne.
They met through mutual friends in 2016 and the prince popped the question as they cooked roast chicken one night.
The royal wedding is sure to be an over-the-top spectacle of love, tradition and sartorial hits and misses.

What will happen on the wedding day?

The ceremony will take place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, 21 miles (34 km) west of London, at noon local time on 19 May. That means that if you want to watch from North America, you will have to tune in at 7:00 EDT.
For you Aussies on the east coast, it's 22:00 AEST
After the service, the newlyweds will begin their carriage procession through the town of Windsor, which is home to Windsor Castle, one of the Queen's official residences. The couple have chosen the Ascot Landau carriage, which is used in official and ceremonial state events.
The procession will end at St George's Hall, a banquet hall at the castle, where about 600 guests will be invited to a luncheon reception hosted by the Queen.
Later that evening, the newlyweds will trip the light fantastic at Frogmore House alongside 200 of their closest friends.
It's the royal residence which provided the backdrop for their engagement photos.
No, but don't try to go sightseeing in Windsor on the day unless you love crowds.
It's a big TV event in the UK, of course, but it's also a Saturday, so many Britons will carry on with their weekend as usual.
For football fans, it is also FA Cup Final day, which for them is far more important.
