Royal Wedding: How You Can Attend




Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Engagements, Weddings,

Kate Middleton and Prince William

The royal wedding commences on April 29 at 8:30 am, London time. For Stateside viewers, that translates to 3:30 am EST. But in case you want to sleep in a little, People has published an itinerary of all the day’s events, and we’ve figured out how you can watch every bit so you can pre-set your DVR.

To kick off the day, Queen Elizabeth II will give the bride and groom their royal titles. Guests are expected to begin arriving to Westminster Abbey at 8:45 am in London. For all the really early wedding coverage, you’ll have to turn to CNN. The cable news network plans to start covering the event at 2:00 am EST with a pre-show; their full coverage continues until 10:00 am. MSNBC will also be covering the event early enough to catch the Queen’s arrival; their broadcast begins at 3:00 am EST.  TLC’s pre-wedding coverage starts at 3:30 am.

Carole Middleton, the mother of the bride, won’t get to the church until 10:30 am London time (5:30 am EST). Other important wedding party members will arrive after Mrs. Middleton. Prince Phillip, groom Prince William and all the bridesmaids, including Kate’s sis Pippa Middleton will be at the church by 10:50.

And that’s when the wedding truly begins. Once the vows are spoken, Kate Middleton will officially become Princess Catherine. By noon London time (7:00 am EST), the couple will depart in their royal carriage to Buckingham Palace.

The Royal Air Force will do their traditional fly-by as the royal couple, their families and the wedding party stand on the balcony at 1:25 pm London time, 8:25 am EST.

NBC’s coverage of the event will be long over by then. They're pulling the plug on the royal wedding at 7:00 am. ABC’s Good Morning America will cover the wedding from 4:00 to 10:00 am. E!’s broadcast will carry on from 4:00 to 9:00 am.

The royal family themselves will present their own wedding coverage via YouTube. The Royal Channel will begin their coverage at 10:00 am London time. We'll be re-capping the entire event, from the fashion to the fabulous venues.
