Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding is set to be a beautifully historic event. Here is how you can watch the royal wedding thanks to broadcast and live streaming options.
The royal wedding of Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle is one of the most talked about events of 2018, and it hasn’t even happened yet! Better yet, it is the most anticipated wedding of the year for Americans. It makes sense, seeing as over 23 million of us tuned in to watch Prince William and Kate Middleton say “I do” in 2011.
For those eager to view the marriage of the British prince and his American bride at Windsor Castle, we have good news. You have options. American network and cable news will air the event live. Many will also offer live streaming services. That way you can sip Earl Grey tea in your pajamas, watching the royal wedding from the comfort of your computer, tablet or phone.
The wedding and procession will be televised live, while the receptions will be private events. Don’t be too bummed out! Despite not seeing those after parties, we’ll easily see lots of fancy hats (lots and lots of fancy hats).
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will wed this Saturday at noon London Time (7 a.m. ET). This means for those wanting to watch the events from the very start, get ready to wake up early!
