Cultural moment

BBC America (today showing old episodes of The X Files from 6am to midnight) is up for the Royal Wedding !

Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle will wed on Saturday, May 19 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle. The service will be followed by a Carriage Procession from St George’s Chapel through Windsor Town returning to Windsor Castle via the Long Walk. BBC AMERICA will show the BBC’s main Royal wedding program of the marriage itself and the Carriage Procession, with live coverage before and after. The live broadcast will begin Saturday morning and an encore presentation of the wedding will air later in the day on May 19th.

BBC America President Sarah Barnett said, “When American Meghan Markle marries HRH Prince Harry it will be a truly global cultural moment, with enormous fanfare around the world. We are thrilled to be the true home of this Royal Wedding, a union that precisely mirrors our own heritage! The whole week leading up to the royal wedding will be a celebration you won’t want to miss.”

You'll note there's still no word of the BBC1 commentary team, with just over 18 whole days to go to the event.
