The Royal Wedding: They’re Getting Married in the Morning
BBC ONE, 7.00PM
With less than 24 hours to go before the wedding, broadcasters are going into overdrive with an onslaught of royal flavoured programming this evening. First comes They’re Getting Married in the Morning, the tone of which should be given away by its One Show timeslot. The unlikely trio of Kirsty Young, Huw Edwards and Dermot O’leary will be reporting the latest news, including interviews both with those due to play key roles on the day and members of the public who have been getting as close as they can to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
For a different, more hard-nosed take on events, The Meghan Markle Effect (11.00pm on Channel 4) sees Fatima Manji wrangle a panel of experts and interested parties to assess the likely impact of Markle, the wedding itself and indeed what it tells us about the future of the monarchy.
Finally, for the fluffiest perspective possible, there’s Harry & Meghan: a Royal Romance (Lifetime, 10.00pm), with relative unknowns Murray Fraser and Parisa Fitz-henley playing the happy couple in a magnificently cheesy and loose interpretation of what might have happened (but probably didn’t).
