Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have shared more details of their upcoming royal wedding, which is just about two weeks away. The May 19 ceremony, set for St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, will commence at noon local time, and which means it'll start at 7 a.m. ET for American watchers.
Below, we round up what you need to know to follow along with the ceremony. Find out how to watch the wedding live here.
4 a.m. - 4:30 a.m. ET: Some broadcast networks, like CBS and The Today Show, will be airing pre-coverage as early as 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. eastern time, respectively. If you’re an early riser and want to get informed before guests start trickling in, tune in.
4:30 a.m. - 6 a.m. ET / 9:30 a.m. - 11 a.m. GMT: Wedding guests will begin to arrive by coach at the Round Tower, which is at the center of Windsor Castle grounds. From there, they’ll walk to the South Door of St. George’s Chapel.
6:20 a.m. ET / 11:20 a.m. GMT: Members of the royal family will begin to arrive to St. George’s Chapel via the Galilee Porch. Some may arrive on foot, others may travel by car.
Prince Harry and Prince William will likely arrive by foot through the West Steps so they can greet the well-wishers gathered on castle grounds.
Around the time the royals are arriving, Meghan and her mother, Doria Ragland, will depart from her overnight location and head to Windsor via car. They’ll likely drive through the Long Walk so fans gathered can watch the bride pass by. They’re expected to stop at the castle so Ragland can enter the chapel and Markle can be joined by some of her bridesmaids and page boys. She’ll enter to the church through the West Steps.
7 a.m. ET / 12 p.m. GMT: The nuptials commence at St. George’s chapel and is expected to last about an hour. The Dean of Windsor will conduct the service and the Archbishop of Canterbury will officiate the vows.
8 a.m. ET / 1 p.m. GMT: The newlyweds will embark on a horse-drawn carriage procession through the town of Windsor and return to Windsor Castle via the Long Walk, a gorgeous tree-lined road extending from the castle. The ride will last about 25 minutes.
