Royal watchers are geared up for this weekend’s Royal Wedding at St. George’s Chapel. Prince Harry will be tying the knot with actress Meghan Markle. Prince William will be serving as Best Man. This is an exciting time, particularly since an American will become a member of the Royal Family. Here’s what you need to know if you want to watch the historic festivities!
It’s important to remember that England is 6 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. That means if you plan on watching the wedding live, you will have to set your alarm quite early for a Saturday and stock up on coffee!
The wedding starts at noon sharp local time. That’s 6 am for Americans on the East Coast! Guests will begin arriving about an hour and a half before that. Television coverage will begin early as plenty of people will be greatly anticipating this historic wedding uniting a member of the Royal Family with an American citizen.
Here’s information about where and when to tune in to get your Harry and Meghan fix:
