The full not-to-be-missed Royal line-up is as follows: A Very Royal WeddingFriday, 4 May at 20:00A very royal wedding celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Queen and Prince Philip's marriage in November 1947. Presenter Alexander Armstrong discovers how a battered post-war Britain pulled off the wedding of the century against the odds. This feature-length documentary includes contributions from Joan Collins and Sheila Hancock, sharing their memories of the wedding, as well as revealing insights from those who were part of the big day, such as page boy Prince Michael of Kent. This was the people's wedding and Alexander meets the ordinary people, who made this a special occasion, including one of the seamstresses responsible for the spectacular wedding dress and three of the choir boys who performed at Westminster Abbey. Alexander will also recreate the Queen's exquisite three carat diamond engagement ring, her beautiful wedding bouquet and her show-stopping wedding cake. Meghan: The First 100 DaysThursday, 10 May at 20:00On 27 November 2017, Prince Harry announced his engagement to the American actress Meghan Markle and the world was introduced to a new superstar. Not since Princess Diana, has a public figure gripped the public's imagination so completely. Markle is besieged by fans wherever she goes. Each outfit she wears sells out within minutes. She makes the tabloid front pages every day. She is the most 'searched for' celebrity name on the internet. Meghan: The First 100 Days, charts her movements and appearances since the engagement whilst revealing the impact she's had on the British people. Harry and Meghan: In Their Own WordsFriday, 11 May at 20:00Never in the history of royal weddings have the bride and groom put so much of their lives on the record. Childhoods, family breakdowns, emotional traumas, personal struggles, pressures of fame, the search for meaning, and a longing for love…. Whatever Harry and Meghan have experienced, they've documented it all in interviews, letters, speeches and social media posts. The programme looks through these personal accounts, picking out the quotes that illuminate the key moments and stages in their lives to build a picture of two people who were born worlds apart, but who have since encountered – and overcome – similar challenges. These common experiences led to a shared outlook on life and a romance that was bound to blossom Harry and Meghan: A Very Modern RomanceFriday, 18 May at 20:00Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are to marry. With the same interests, they seem ideally suited. They have both confronted difficult upbringings and triumphed. Now they triumph together. This one-hour special explores the social background that makes this adventurous marriage seem thoroughly in keeping with the modern British royal family. It explores the remarkable lives of actress Meghan Markle, a powerful woman's rights campaigner, and Prince Harry, who has broken out of the royal straightjacket without losing his royal dignity.
