The first Royal wedding to be televised was Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones at Westminster Abbey on 6 May 1960 with circa 20 million viewers. It took a further 13 years until viewers got a glimpse of the next Royal Wedding when Princess Anne and Mark Phillips were married at Westminster Abbey 14 November 1973, this time with around a television audience of  500 million! People then lined the streets to get a glimpse of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Frances Spencer at Westminster Abbey on 29 July 1981 plus a around 650 million television audience. 

Princess Diana & Prince Charles Wedding Film

Princess Diana and Prince Charles got married in July 1981, reciting their vows in front of a congregation of 3,400 at St Paul’s Cathedral, and an estimated TV audience of 750 million across the globe.

The ceremony was a traditional Church of England wedding service, presided over by the Most Reverend Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Very Reverend Alan Webster, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral. An estimated 750 million people watched the ceremony worldwide and this figure allegedly rose to a billion when the radio audience is added in, although there are no means of verifying these figures. Two million spectators lined the route of Diana's procession from Clarence House, with 4,000 police and 2,201 military officers to manage the crowds.

Lady Diana arrived at the cathedral in the Glass Coach with her father, John Spencer, 8th Earl Spencer; she was escorted by six mounted Metropolitan Police officers. She arrived almost on time for the 11:20 BST ceremony. The carriage was too small to hold the two of them comfortably due to her voluminous dress and train. She made the three-and-a-half minute walk up the red-carpeted aisle with the sumptuous 25 ft (8 m) train of gown behind her.

Diana accidentally changed the order of Charles's name during her vows, saying "Philip Charles Arthur George" instead of the correct "Charles Philip Arthur George". Charles also made an error. He said he would offer her "thy goods" instead of "my worldly goods". She did not promise to "obey" him as part of the traditional vows. That word was eliminated at the couple's request, which caused a sensation at the time.

THE WEDDING OF Harry and Meghan Markle

The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was held on Saturday 19 May 2018 in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom. The groom is a member of the British royal family; the bride is American and previously worked as an actress, blogger, charity ambassador, and advocate. On the morning of the wedding, Prince Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, conferred upon him the titles of Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. On her marriage, Markle gained the style of Her Royal Highness and titles Duchess of Sussex, Countess of Dumbarton and Baroness Kilkeel. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Archbishop of Canterbury, officiated at the wedding using the standard Anglican church service for Holy Matrimony published in Common Worship, a liturgical text of the Church of England. The traditional ceremony was noted for the inclusion of African-American culture.

Planning FOR THE WEDDING OF HARRY & MEGHAN

Unlike Prince William and Catherine Middleton's wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding anniversary was not declared a bank holiday. The wedding was held on the same day as the FA Cup final, and Prince Harry's younger brother William usually attends as chairman of the FA. Holding the royal wedding on a weekend breaks with the royal family's tradition of holding weddings on weekdays. On 12 February 2018, Kensington Palace announced that the ceremony would begin at 12:00 noon BST.

The chapel was previously the venue for the wedding of Prince Harry's uncle, the Earl of Wessex, to his cousin Peter Phillips, as well as the wedding of the then Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. Harry's stepmother.

COST OF THE WEDDING

The royal family announced they would pay for the wedding. Costs for cake, florist and catering were estimated at £50,000, £110,000 and £286,000 respectively for a total estimated cost of approximately £32 million. Security costs should be lower than at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011. [49] Security costs were estimated to be "between £2m and £4m" by the end of May. Police and crime inspectors can also apply for special funding if the cost exceeds 1% of Thames Valley Police's annual budget, but at the time the cost was "well below the £4m required to lodge a claim". The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead reportedly spent £2.6 million cleaning up the town and its streets.

The wedding is expected to spark a tourism boom and boost the economy by up to £500m. It was later estimated that the wedding raised £1 billion for the British economy, including an extra £300 million in travel and accommodation from foreign visitors and £50 million in merchandise and souvenirs.

Wedding attire

Wedding invitations specify a dress code for men: "dress uniform, morning dress, or casual" and; for women "day dress and hat".
