Full Week of 'Royal Wedding Watch' Specials Coming to PBS

​As part of the lead up to the marriage of Prince Harry of Wales and Ms. Meghan Markle of The United States, PBS brings you an entire week's worth of specials. Prepare yourself for all things Royal Wedding with the Royal Wedding Watch.

Spring is finally here and with it, wedding season. This year, there's no bigger wedding event in the US or the UK than the marriage of Prince Harry of Wales, younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. As most have heard, he's marrying an American actress, Meghan Markle, lately of the TV show Suits, which just finished airing Season 7 on the USA Network. Their wedding will take place on Saturday, May 19, 2018, at St. George Chapel, Windsor Castle, at 12 noon local time. (That's 5 a.m. here on the US east coast.)

It's not every day that a member of the UK royal family gets married. But Prince Harry, who was once the "spare" in "heir and spare" and third-in-line to the royal throne is no longer quite so high up in the chain. With the birth of Prince Louis last month, Harry is officially sixth-in-line for the throne, which makes him far more of a minor royal than he once was. Still, both Diana's children still have serious celebrity status, especially in the US, and the fact that he's marrying a commoner, born in Los Angeles, and who he met in Toronto, means that this wedding is a big deal on both sides of the pond.
