PRINCE CHARMING
Royal wedding to hit the SA TV screens
ITV CHOICE (DStv 123) will broadcast live, comprehensive coverage of the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19 from a specially constructed studio on The Long Walk in Windsor.
The coverage of Harry and Meghan – The Royal Wedding, which will start at 10.25 and run through to 4pm (SA time), will be hosted by Julie Etchingham and Phillip Schofield who will be joined by a range of guests including those who know Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as friends of the Royal family.
Also joining Etchingham and Schofield for live coverage of the day will be Mary Nightingale who will be positioned at Windsor Castle, spotting and interviewing guests as they arrive, accompanied by a line-up of fashion experts and Royal commentators.
Rageh Omaar will exclusively join Sentebale, the charity cofounded by Prince Harry, for traditional wedding day celebrations in Lesotho. He will be live from the Mamohato Children’s Centre where he will be joined by beneficiaries and staff many of whom have met and been supported by Prince Harry during his numerous visits to the country. James Mates will lead live commentary of the service from inside St George’s Chapel.
“I'm delighted to be working on the Royal Wedding and teaming up again with Philip, just as we did in 2011 and for the Diamond Jubilee. It'll be a day of big celebrations not only in Windsor but around the country and it'll be huge fun,” said Etchingham.
Schofield added: “I am so happy to be back with Julie, my Royal Wedding partner and the brilliant team at ITV News.” — DDC
