ceremony at midday. and it couldn't be a better day. fortune is smiling on the bride

also a grounded conversation. she's very approachable and very friendly to talk to. and she was willing to do anything that we wanted. we wanted her to drape the sari. she wore the bindi and all the traditional things as well. she looks gorgeous and a bit >> no, i have come with three other women here. two are from mumbai and they had never gotten on a flight before. this is the first time they've gotten on a flight and straight to london. it's been a dream come true for them. really, really happy it's such a special occasion. they've gotten on a flight for the first time so their

impression of the u.k. will be windsor. >> and the incredible people here. >> what an honor to be one of the seven charities that harry and meghan have asked people to donate to. what does that mean for you? >> i think a really small organization, that kind of support that comes in early on really helps us exponentially grow. now we can think about expanding to 100 more women because we've built that credibility through this kind of support. it's really important for the morale of our own women, for them to perceive and see themselves in the papers and also just feel like what they're doing is really important and it's being recognized. >> how do you feel being here? you're about to go to the royal wedding. >> just really honored and super excited. i think this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity and i can't believe that i'm here. >> it's wonderful that you're here. she's only 23 years old.

you look sensational. have a fantastic day. >> thank you so much. >> thanks, anita. we're delighted to welcome to the studio baroness lawrence. thank you so much for taking the time to join us today. it is a very interesting moment in british cultural history. we're seeing a snapshot of something quite different. given that you have met the couple, can you give me your impression of meghan markle when you spoke to her? >> they have an empathy coming across from her which i thought was really good. because at the end of the day it's quite a roller coaster. to have somebody so calm and really engaging. it was good to have that.

at the end of the day for me it was good to have that. >> what did she talk to you about? >> she didn't say that much. she was really pleased to be there and understood about what happened around stephen and just saying how sorry she was to hear about the news and really pleased to be there at the time. >> we talked a little bit about this earlier on and the royal family always has causes and it looks like meghan is bring is those causes on. there's always a big thing that the royal family can't get involved in politics but there is a point where cause and politics kind of -- the diagram overlaps a little bit there. >> i remember when their relationship was first announced there was a lot of language in the press that i thought was very coded racist references and i don't remember but prince harry issued a statement from the palace where he calls that out and condemns it and it was completely unprecedented and i think that it is difficult for them to put themselves out there on issues like this but when it effects them personally or they feel strongly enough about it they do.

it was a hugely welcome moment because people like me that write about it are often attacked themselves and to have somebody in that position be on your side makes a huge difference and i hope they'll continue to venture into spaces that have been a bit too difficult because that's what we need in the country. we need to start talking about things that we prefer to sweep under the carpet and i think meghan has a track record of doing that. harry now has entered that realm as well and that offers a lot of promise and actually if the royal family wants to make themselves more relevant to the new generation that's the kind of thing they do need to do. >> we should let viewers know -- they probably know, we've seen sarah, the duchess of york enter st. george's chapel. >> i want to ask you about when we see the royals and the soon

to be royals turn up at events, what happens is automatically usually more attention than an event would get because of their presence. for what does that mean in your role as you consider your work? >> stephen's name has always attracted a lot of media attention but to have both meghan and harry turn up it was fantastic. it shows that they're more in tune to what's happening within society and the fact that they wanted to be there to support him. we had prince william to to stephen's trust before with kate and that's amazing, because they spent time talking to young people and you couldn't pry them away because they're so keen to make sure that they spoke to everyone that was there on the day. >> announcer: stay tuned for more of prince harry and meghan markle's royal wedding on bbc america.

have you spoken to the young people about this wedding? do you think -- are they engaged in it? >> i haven't had a chance to be around the wedding but i've been speaking to them. it's so important to have to get young people's views. we had one young student attend the service and he's one of the law students so it was quite good to have young people. the idea was about voices, young people's voices. so that's what the theme was. to see them there on the day, of course we invite all our students to whatever we're doing to make sure they're represented at all times. >> hopefully in the future we can move on from this being a question, but is it important or how important do you think it is

that we are seeing the first biracial member of the royal family? >> i was saying this morning that they've had a black queen before. this is back in 1750 something so it's not the first time. i think we need to move away from always talking about people's color. we need to talk about who the person is, what they're bringing with them, the background. i think for me that's what's important. if we don't start moving and doing that, the race issue which is important, we need to make sure we address it but at the same time we need to look at the person and make sure that we welcome them for who they are. >> thank you so much. thanks for coming along today. it's just a few minutes after 11:00 a.m. pretty sure wedding parties are getting into full swing all around the country. not just here. let's go back to richard in los angeles where it's about 3:00 in the morning. let's see how they're enjoying -- i don't know, is it early morning, late night? who knows.

welcome back to los angeles to one of the many watch parties happening right across meghan's hometown, as you can see. where the marvelous crowd here, they have been loving watching the arrivals and as you have described there, the breathtaking outfits. they were fascinated as george amal clooney, the beckhams, james corden got a cheer. oprah tried to find her seat. show founded and was the principal of the school meghan went to for nine years, the hollywood school house. i'm joined by emanuel, the director of drama at st. francis school. meghan of course an actress and you gave her her first lead role. >> i guess i did that and it was quite surreal but i'm pretty proud of our program at st. francis. >> tell me about what stood out about meghan to you? >> when she walked up on the

stage, she was just amazing right away. she had the charisma and it caught me right away so i casted her as the lead. >> do you think that background in acting, do you think it helps on a day like, that poise, does it help on a day like today when it feels like the whole world is going to be watching her? >> well, to be in theatre, you're evolving in that character. so use it as a platform and she has the charisma to reach out to other people. >> thank you. do not play down your part in today. you gave her her first role. she goes on to "suits" for more than 100 episodes. she meets prince harry and goes on to marry him. i say it's down to you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> rejoice, emanuel. let's go back to alex now.

>> l.a. aren't the only ones enjoying the arrivals. haven't we loved it? amal clooney, hot to trot. we like the yellow in the sunshine, lovely. we have teddy and chantel and megan and anthony who are on a double date. they've come from greenwich this morning. you were saying there's so many young people here. what about harry and meghan is so relatable? >> as a couple they're very honest. not just in their relationship but the personalities in themselves, i think the work they're doing elsewhere and particularly harry with the invictus games and speaking about issues, mental health issues in particular, we can relate. the fact that they've had careers as well is a progression of the royal family that maybe we needed. >> they're a force of nature together but what meghan's already done for young women is

quite something. >> it's inspirational. she's done loads for charities and for empowering women to believe that they have that choice and it should be used. >> well, have a great day. anthony, lots of people enjoying their brunch and prosecco at home. what's it like to be in the middle of this fantastic atmosphere? >> great. everybody is smiling, laughing, having fun. the weather is amazing. >> i'm worried about you, i think we need sun cream. go off and get some now. back to 50 i think for you, yes. >> announcer: stay tuned for more of the royal wedding on bbc america. mom you called?

one more way comcast is working to fit into your life, not the other way around.

now we know that prince harry was in the armed forces, one of the most rewarding experience of his life. 2014 he founded the invictus games. they've gone from strength to strength and two people very much involved with him now, victoria gosling who looked after the games in 2016 and double amputee and former u.k. captain. welcome to botof you. >> thank you. great to be here. >> by the way, victoria, you should be organizing the wedding with your c.v.

you are on it. 2016, talk us through that because he was quite the tough boss, wasn't he. he was on the phone all the time. >> he was. we had it in 2014 and wanted to ensure that it kept the brand integrity. he's very much engaged in ensuring that we kept that integrity to the games but of course we were taking it over to america and we had to make sure -- it was the first sort of opportunity to put the brand on a global platform and of course with the distance -- in london he was there all the time but when it came to orlando he clearly couldn't be there so he was literally ensuring that we were doing it and then we came back to give him a break to make sure that everything -- >> bernie, you were captain of the team last year. >> absolutely, yes. >> what effect did the games have on you personally? >> for me personally, when i was retired from the army, i still felt like i wanted to perform what i was when i was serving.

having the opportunity to be captain, to be given an opportunity to step up, to stand up and be the person i was and it brought about that person. >> it's interesting because british service men and women i guess have in common with most service men and women around the world, they're people with stamp ma, ambition. if that's taken away that's a huge part of your personality you can't express. >> sit down and watch tv. the opportunity to step out of that and something that prince harry did to move into invictus makes a massive difference. there is a sense that you obviously get institutionalized because you were in there such a long time. there's a sense that like i said from the people i've spoken to that there's a distance or a certain sense of loss. is the invictus to a point filled that in your life?

>> it made me the person i was. when that was took away, it is taken away, when you get together again, that camaraderie, you feel a part of it. you prove you can do it as well as you did it while in service. >> can i ask you, you were both in toronto when meghan and harry. everybody knew it was something much more than that. it was a statement that we are together and this is very, very serious. what did you make of it? you thought firsthand, the response between them? >> it's quite place for them to go public because clearly, the games are really special to prince harry. the it's very much part of his life. i think recently. so the very fact that's what

they became public was great because it was everybody could see it firsthand. this just added more sparkle, really. >> going to be on e phone when the wedding'over. >> an acdent. it's happening. everything was in full splendor. >> they're having a delayed honeymoon. on their way there to the games, they might take time. >> that's a right place to do it. >> yeah. >> we are approaching 45 minutes away. when that service will begin. just a couple of minutes before midday. meghan markle will arrive at the great west door of st. george's chapel and then process aalone along the aisle and she will cross the part of the chapel and cross by george clooney

approaching the altar, where prince harry will be waiting for her. then the archbishop will conduct the actual marriage ceremony and the dean of windsor, who is in charge of this magnificent place, he will be in charge of the overall service. now some kress ta music. some very english flavor. the chamber orchestra and conducted by crist quer warren green and they are a superb grp of plars. the assistant director of music.

and the organ in its full glory due to the hymns during the wedding ceremony. >> great view. up into the choir. just look across to where just down to the bottom end where we can see john major there, a night of the daughter. and all of the knights recognized for the value of their public contribution of theirs because they've been rewarded for their national contribution over the years.

the beckhams already in place ready to enjoy this service and we can see george and amal clooney there flanked by other friends of meghan markle. during the service we will be able to see the brides mother take her place there just near the alter itself. she'll have one of the best views of the couple taking their vows. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding on bbc america.

and now we have some members of the royal family who are making their way at a leisurely

place down towards st. george's chapel. all doing what the guests have been doing before this. just enjoying the sunshine. the atmosphere. there's a lovely vibe today. people are wanting to have a really good time. they were of course married at windsor, and zara and mike tindall, they were married back in 2011. zara phillips expecting a child and they'll be sitting very near the queen and other members of the royal family on the right hand side of the choir as we look at them. so just basking in the sunshine as they make their way down. they have a very short walk from the private apartment. if you just look at the part of the castle in the background there, that is where the private apartments are. prince michael of kent, princess michael of kent, cousin of the queen of course and they'll be

there with the duke and duchess of kent as well and we also have the duke and duchess of gloster too. making their way down. so members of the royal family making their way down. they know what's in store. it's a happy service. it's a service of celebration. they're enjoying the crowds outside and people having a very good look. how lucky are the 2,000 people in the lower ward of windsor castle because they have been thiting since about 8:15 or 8:30 morning in lovely weather but waiting with the cameras poised and now they're getting some of the best shots possible of the royal family as they arrive and in a short while of course we'll be seeing the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall. that's all to come. making their way in.

very, very happy to be here today. st. george's chapel windsor, there you are. great symbol of medieval splendor and the perfect setting for today's service. >> thank you. >> we're joined by meredith vieira. how much of an appetite, we've been talking about this, this is big in america. people seem to love it america. we're seeing american tv crews everywhere. >> i think it is very big in american. she's american. a california girl. people my age and actually all ages remember that little boy, harry, and his brother behind his mother's casket. we were all so saddened by that. we've watched these boys grow up and become amazing young men and then for him to fall in love with this very modern woman. she has her own voice.

proves to me that he has incredibly good taste. what a spend id car that is. inside that car is the bride to be. meghan markle and her mother. we saw them arrive yesterday. see a glimpse of the bride. she's wearing a veil. but for now, not much more than that. it's moving a stately pace. once the home of another remarkable american. the first female to take her

seat in the house of commons back in 1919. >> now is an opportune moment. >> yes, sorry. i'm just trying to get that sight of meghan. she is coming past us right now. looking absolutely stunning. she is wearing a long veil. looking happy and relaxed sitting next to her mom doria bursting with pride. you can just imagine what that journey is going to be like for the next 30 minutes. that's how long it will take to get to windsor castle which is 9.5 miles away from here. it's been closed to the public since yesterday evening so this will be the first time they see world press cameras point pointing at them from every angle and of course the huge crowds that will be lining the streets waving and cheering them on as they approach st. george's

chapel where we will get to see that dress in it's full glory and let me tell you, i'm sure the end result will be stunning. the last person to see the dress of course will be prince harry. what a moment for meghan and what a moment for the royal family in 2018. >> can i just say -- can i just say. >> the three women in this studio all went -- we saw a boat neck and sleeve and veil. >> rather feminine very romantic neck. what i loved was that really nice chunky tiara. i couldn't tell if it was diamonds or pearls or some combination of the two. low bun swept back hair like that gossimer like veil. >> you're asking her to call it.

>> i mean, i eluded there to the history of cliveden house hotel. i'm wondering as an american when you watch all of this. you're looking at the heart of the british establishment, there's a fresh, american about to enter there. zara phillips making herself as comfortable as one can when one is heavily pregnant but when you see this fresh young american, full of education, full of thoughts and ambition. she has a million dollar smile that the cameras love. she is great and when i say performer i mean that in the best sense, she knows how to communicate a message. >> it's interesting because she is so modern and very

independent and speaks her mind. so it will be interesting to see once she is married if she will continue to be able to do that because she has so much to say and she has stood up for so many important causes including gender equality which is very important to her. she spoke about that eloquently at the un for years now and i hope that her voice can be heard and i think with harry by her side it will be. i don't know to what extent but he also wants to give folks a voice and they are humanitarians and care about people and together they're a powerful team. they call them the fab 4 for a reason. >> that puts windsor on the map. >> not all of britain looks like this. this is a very cliche view of britain. the union jack and so forth but it puts windsor on the map. >> absolutely. we're really not familiar with it. people still thought the wedding

was in london, including myself. oh i have to get on the train and go 20 something miles to get here but then when you're here it's like a fairy tale. >> we're seeing beatrice. >> you live and you learn. >> i was being told earlier that it's an up and coming designer, quite knew on the scene already and do you know what, i think they're gorgeous. >> yes. >> really, really understated and beautiful. >> there we see the royals. it's the place that she has been on many occasions before. it's another day out really isn't it?

>> looking through the order of service. >> i like her ruby red. >> how do you think she epitomizes the modern american woman? >> she never wanted to be one of the ladies that lunch. she wanted to be o of the women who work and that's very much the modern americanoman. a doer. someone that stands tall and proud of herself. very independent, works hard which she has done her whole life and she has principles from the time she was 11 and saw this commercial that offended her because she found it sexist and her dad actually said then write a letter and she wrote to among other people, hillary clinton. who was then a first lady and it's a few months later that ad was gone.

>> time after time you go back, she's american, she actually had to work very hard to get where she is and there's something incredibly admirable about that. >> she gives back as well. she understands she has this platform and she wants to use it for positive things and that proceeds all of this and they were on parallel courses in some way because harry was doing the same thing and then they came together and it felt just like a natural union. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding on bbc america.

>> i think we're looking at some pictures inside the choir. we will hand over to hugh. >> many thanks. yes, we're keeping a very close eye now on the next group of royals because we already had quite a few members of the royal family come but of course bride on the way. we expect to see the groom very soon with his brother the ke of cambridge. the best man. they'll probably walk down toward the chapel very soon and with me, keeping me company here, two experts, veteran observers. we have the royal commentator and also journalist robert

hardeman and the royal correspondent. on a day like today weather wise and event wise. i'm just thinking just before we see the groom and the best man, just thought about this partnership. we saw it back in 2011. a very long time ago and now we're going to see the roles reversed today. what are we reading into that? what is our partnership telling us today? >> today we have the most modern royal wedding we have ever had, really. each royal wedding brings with it new developments. new trends in fashion but i think today, it's a sort of extraordinary atmosphere. it's sort of the stars and stripes a long side the union jack. you have hollywood. you have a 1,000 year old castle with 1,000-year-old monarchy as well. it's a fabulous blend of ancient and modern.

>> the most modern? >> it is the most modern royal wedding we have ever seen and certainly the most modern worldwide. she's walking herself up the aisle. in a week of twists and turns. yes i think as robert said, this match shows that the monarchy has moved. it has moved and modernized and people will be celebrating that today. >> we had a little glimpse inside the car. >> very demure dress. boat neck style. a big tiara. it's hard to see. a veil. doria is looking beautiful in a hat.

we think that's burberry but meghan looks magnificent. >> a quick word. one of the big elements of news of today, the big news of today was of course the title for the couple. just a quick word about the title. >> duke of sussex is a royal dukethat became extingt in the 1830s. so it faded from view. it was widely expected but duke of sussex. but i think most people will remember him as prince harry of wales. >> we'll be back in just a moment because they're really patient and quite now as we have a sense that things are about to happen. >> the scene of all the guests awaiting, studying the splendor in st. george's chapel. >> doesn't look like tom harding.

with us now are two more people that have met and worked ian green and the french recipients of the diana legacy award. welcome. first of all, what a remarkable thing to receive. just explain what the award is and why you got it? >> the award is for young people that have been continuing princess diana's legacy in terms of kindness and compassion. >> what did you do to deserve it? >> i was born with hiv and i think it's important that young people born with hiv are able to change the world ultimately in the perception of hiv. >> you are very concise and very eloquent. i reckon you make it sound easier than it was to do. >> definitely. it's been a process and a lot of time spent thinking about how to do it and why to do it. stuff like that. >> the couple to choose a trip to nottingham sends a huge message.

>> the prince has been a strong supporter of the hiv sector for a long tile but then to use their first engagement together said something about their care about the concern and the cause but also really importantly about they want to tackle the stigma still associated with hiv. >> which is obviously a legacy of his mom. >> absolutely. i was privileged to meet princess diana on a couple of occasions. i can see his mother in the son. they have that passion and empathy for things that they really care about. >> when he took the hiv test there was a 500% increase. that makes a massive, massive difference for getting people to test and normalize hiv testing.

>> what is the involvement of such an incredible, right now the world's most high profile couple in something that's so important to you? >> i think they're choosing chiva as one of the 7 charities to contribute too is symbolic of how much they care about hiv as an issue. >> do you have a wish for the couple today? we're all sitting here waiting for the big moment. >> we wish them all the best from chiva. with we're honored they chose us. >> and given the deep association you have through the groom's mother. what would you like to say to them? >> i wish them all the happiness in the future and carry on campaigning and being an activist and that's what we need and what they should do. >> thank you so much for taking the time. >> if you're just joining us here on bbc one, it's 11:30. we're looking at magnificent pictures from inside st. george's chapel. there's the choir and it's where the very closest friends and members of the royal family,

splendid central choir and beyond that we have the rest of the 600 odd guests who have been making their way on what has been a remarkable morning. a sun filled morning and windsor has really been sparkling and shining for all of us watching it here today. we have seen across sections of guests. people from the world of sports, music, entertainment, they're all there and not waiting. it's their saturday royal wedding day. >> and as she explained, the couple have several charities including crisis, the myna mahila foundation. scotty's little soldiers street game, surfers against sewage and the wilderness foundation.

>> we believe that this may well be the groom and his best man. and what a welcome they are getting. >> a little ways and i would say that prince harry is looking, he's smiling. he's happy. but he knowshe tasead and the commitment he's about to makes the greatest one of his life and i think he's looking just a little bit nervous. quite understandable. >> it's not the easiest walk as well. it's kind of a long walk down to

your own wedding. >> he has his brother there. his brother who has seen him through so much who only recently apparently was asked to be best man. he left it until the last minute. >> they have broken the tradition. >> and we learned only less than an hour agatha we will see prince harry today once he has made his vows put on a wedding ring and that is a new precedent that's been set. a very personal choice for him. his brother doesn't wear a wedding ring. his father wears i think a cigna ring but for prince harry a very modern decision to wear a wedding ring. >> stay tuned for more of prince harry and meghan markle's wedding on bbc america.

we know that prince harry said and i wonder a remanhattanic piece of phrasing. he knew when he fell for meghan markle, the stars had aligned. and surely today everything is in order as he heads toward st. george's chapel. the sun is shining. the people of windsor and beyond are out and this does feel like a very, very special day indeed. >> just to give yoa heads up of what will happen next, yo can see harry and william arriving. there will be seen on the west steps which is where the couple will come out. >> let's talk about the west

steps because as we see, the west steps are very, very porn. >> nearly 200 people. that have a special connection. >> they're becoming the prince and prince william and we hear not just the wonderful sounds of the bells but we see the beautiful foliage surrounding the steps there. beautiful sight it is. >> the two brothers going up the steps to the west door, looking at the amazing display of flowers and foliage. the dean of windsor david connor in charge of this service today, reflecting the status of st. george's chapel. this is not under the jurisdiction of the arch bishop of canterbury.

it's under the queen's jurisdiction. it's known as a royal peculiar. and answerable to the queen. not to the archbishop at canterbury and that reflects the status of this chapel within windsor and the ancient college of windsor and the fact, of course, that this chapel has many, many sanctuaries of royal tradition attached to it. interesting too that today prince harry has opted to wear the uniform of the blues and royals reflecting his army heritage.

he does have more senior ranks and more senior uniforms but that tells you something about where he felt most comfortable today. the official office of the prince of wales which we heard performing there in the 20 minutes or so before the brothers arrived. >> so they make their way along the aisle. up toward the choir. they'll be followed a little later of course just before midday by the bride herself who will be joined halfway down the chapel just by the prince of wales that will accompany her for the last section of the procession. during that procession there will be a performance of wonderful music and the trumpeter. here we are. the scene outside on the fringes of windsor. and this is is just at the end of the long walk approaching windsor castle itself. where there will be a grand procession by the way after the service. so this is going to be a very familiar sight today. we have there the conductor

christopher warren green with his players entertaining the congregation. a quick check on the time and i think that hotel, christopher, they are pretty much on time today and just first of all the sight of the two brothers making their way in. >> very wonderful to see them in their blues and royals uniform. a lot of people thought he might wear his world marine military uniform but they just look so, so happy really lovely. >> and wearing the rank of major. i mean, totally equal today. the reason that prince william is wearing the gold. he is an adt to the queen and also both of them t blues and royals means an awful lot to them. particularly to prince harry. it's goi to play key part in

today. >> very soon we'll have the prince of whales here. >> unexpected but i think he'll be very pleased. it will be rather wonderful to see the prince of wales at the bridge between the monarch and the future of the royal family. we were supposed to see her father but it will be a good thing for the prince of wales and the royal family and i'm told he was incredibly touched that meghan asked him. >> and he was himself married here in 2005. it's a place with incredibly happy memories for him and i think after some of the days, he's just drawn a line under all of that and for the prince to be there, he will be very touched to be right in the heart of it. >> it's not been the easiest in some ways.

i mean for meghan certainly of course and this will be put together and they're determined to enjoy it. >> absolutely. >> there's always, the king of spain coming out at the last minute because the honeymoon was going to begin. all of these things always happen. on the day it comes good. these will be the things that people remember. >> so very soon we'll have the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall arriving and of course the arrival of her majesty the queen and the duke of edinburough. >> he is the iron duke. there was never any doubt that he would make. and see him there.

>> that wasn't but a month ago i think. >> you know, he wouldn't miss this for the world. he stands his mark on wisor probably more than anyone. it was the duke who helped and designed it and rebuilt it. for him this is a really special day. >> sitting next to david beckham. nicholas is short of a few opinions. i'll sure they're enjoying a little bit of banter. >> it's very interesting that just behind david beckham was david manning who is mentor to william and harry and ambassador to america. they mixed up with officials. i like that. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding on bbc america.

>> lots of thought has gone into the service. that sounds like an obvious thing to say but actually probably even more than people realize because it's not just to do with the mix of readings and music but the kind of form of words and the more modern order of service that we'll hear a little later on. it will be striking distance what we expect and prince of wales with the music himself. he has views on what music he thought would be appropriate today? and they took his advice. >> he loves the english music. that was a strong feature of the duke and duchess of cambridge in 2011. people were struck by the way he had taken great care with

choosing his favorite composers and listen then and again today you can hear his influence right now. >> i think it is important at this point because it's just 16 minutes to go. we've had one or two glancing references during the morning and we saw it earlier and of course we have the late diana's sister who will be delivering one of the readings. and that again is a powerful statement about her presence still. >> harry will say always, he told me that everything he does in his life and his work he thinks about what his mother would have thought. he is determined to keep her very much alive. meghan is wearing an engagement ring with jewels that belonged to diana. i'm sure this evening there will be tributes to diana in the best man speech and she will be felt very much apart of the day as harry said that he missed her. on days like that when he proposed to meghan markle he missed her enormously and is determined to keep her memory with him.

>> everyone watching would understand that. on a day like today, you know, there's lots of happiness and joy, but for them to -- >> i think the whole world will remember. thinking back to that 12-year-old boy making an incredibly brave and desperately sad walk in 1997 behind his mother's coffin and these are molts people will not forget that and that's why i think today really does bring that full circle. >> you mentioned earlier, the long walk and because it's a great sight on any day in any weather. but today we have been very lucky. they have been lucky but we have all been lucky because there is magnificent. >> you're looking at the largest street party in britain. it's absolutely fabulous. they have been setting out the

barriers and expecting 100,000 people. i wouldn't be surprised if that's more than 100,000 people. it's getting back to the treeline there. >> yeah. >> that's 2.5 miles long so let's be very clear. this is a big drive. >> yes. it's a big drive. >> heading back toward the castle there as we'll see later on. this is going to be very familiar to meghan because there you have the george iv entrance to windsor castle and the private apartments over there to the right hand side with the most magnificent gardens there at the moment but that's going to be the root of the final section of the procession today after the service which will be the chance for the crowd to get, may i say, a much better view than we're getting now because she's inside of the car. >> very fast at the moment. >> they'll be getting considerably close. don't worry. >> it is not quite the stately

pace it was earlier. >> that will be the big pomp and pageantry moment and that's what i think we do best isn't it? >> absolutely. that's the dividing line. this is the quite solemn bit. >> let's hear it for the rolls royce. it can clearly do something. it can clearly perform. >> absolutely. >> it's elegant and of course it's one that's very familiar on so many royal occasions. the bride making her way into the castle and the next time we see meghan will be when she arrives at the west door. and there waiting for her in the choir will be her future husband prince harry and the best man of cour, the duke of cambridge. just exchanging a few words of reassurance and advice. they look around slightly

nervously but we completely understand that. but you do get a very strong sense here again within such close proximity howell they understand each other and howell they get on. there's a clear one. >> it's lovely to watch there. harry looks nervous and william is clearly joking. just at the end before catherine arrived william looks a little bit nervous and harry was playing the joker and it's lovely to see that role today. >> so they arrive and then they have the choice of sitting in there for quite awhile but wisely they went into another little room just to calm down a little bit and gather their thoughts before they enter. so they now have a wait of around 10 minutes before the bride arrives. bride having arrived at the top end of the castle with her mother and final adjustments will be made there before they arrive and within a minute or so

of midday. that will be a great fanfare by the state trumpeters. we saw them early on. they will be there and at that moment, harry will know that meghan has arrived at the west door. that is the signal to the world that the service will get underway and the procession will begin and once again, i like to share with viewers how important that moment will be and to take it all in. that will look very dramatic and very different and then of course to be joined by the prince of wales to go into the choir itself. we will not have seen anything like it. and dare i say, in most. >> you're absolutely right. it's unpresented for a royal bride to walk herself down an aisle. in fact, actually, serena williams who is sitting in the

choir. >> just on the left hand side. >> she didhersf down the aisle when her father pulled out at the last minute. it's going to look different. it's going to look dramatic, but she was an actress. i'm sure she will be drawing on her poise and experience to make it up to the organ screen where the prince of wales will accompany her. >> if people are expecting the arch bishop of canterbury and dean of windsor, this is going to be a departure because they're going to have the head of the episcopal church in america. that will be interesting. >> it will. the archbishop of canterbury taking the backseat role. we talked about how it's going to look different but it's also going to sound different. the state trumpeters composed a special fanfare just for meghan

that hasn't been heard before. there will be two. one for the sovereign as there always is and there's going to be very much her own fanfare. what an entrance. >> watching them sitting there >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding.

this is a royal wedding. i reckon that we're about to see the prince of wales. duchess of cornwall. we h probably see duchess of cambridge, too. we are waiting for the lovely scene with six bridesmaids and four pageboys. all of them there for a rather special reason either because they're children or friends or children of the royal family itself and they will be, i think, a lovely sight. and they'll be a nice scene where meghan is accompanied by two page boys who are children

of her very good friend. so there we have the mother of the bride making her way in. must be a rather unreal day. she is going to be proud. she is going to be overjoyed but she must be pinching herself in some ways because this is, this is just an experience that nobody could really prepare for, isn't that fair? >> a week ago she was in california packing and thinking what to take to the u.k. yesterday she was having tea with the queen. today she is being watched by over a billion people but it's still, it's wonderful family moment. doesn't really matter whether you're being watched by one person or a billion, you're seeing your daughter get married. >> so the rolls royce phantom 6.

this is bringing the prince of wales and the dutchess of cornwall to the gallery porch. this is a different entrance which is used by members of the royal family and they will be making their way in directly into the choir. later on of course the prince of wales will be making his way down to the center of st. george's chapel to wait for the bride as she enters just at the stroke of midday. we're just five minutes away from the start of the wedding service of prince harry and meghan markle. so the prince of wales and dutchess of cornwall were married in a civil ceremony. and there's her majesty the queen and the duke of edinburgh. her majesty at the age of 92,

clearly enjoying the day and the duke of edinburgh who had his share of ill health, delighted to see that at the age of 96, 97 next month, he's able to come and see the wedding today. that's going to be a great source of joy for the couple and the entire country. i have just been told that the queen is wearing a dress by stewart parvin. it's a purple and grey printed silk coat and dress. the hat is by angela kelly. but it will make quite a statement too. and there we have the mother of the bride waiting in the choir and just a thought from what doria is thinking at this moment. >> she must be feeling exceptionally proud of her

daughter, completely overwhelmed, i'm sure. the queen made her welcome as have the rest of the members of the royal family but she is feeling unbelievably proud that her daughter, an american is about to marry into the royal family and become the duchess of sussex. i'm sure that's something never thought would happen. >> harry looks nervous. >> he has a bridesmaid and page. family honor at stake here. they both have things to worry about. >> she is the only member of meghan markle's family attending. so she is representing her daughter today. >> we want to see the bridesmaids and the page boy. that's what we want and we're about to be treated. making their way down. making their way down to the lower wards and this is our vantage point.

slowly making their way past all the crowds there. some of the 2,000 people invited into the lower ward today. lots of these by the way are either members of the royal household or people part of the windsor castle community but as i was saying earlier, thousands of them have been selected. ♪ >> trumpeters with the grand fanfare telling everyone that her majesty has arrived at st. george's chapel and we're within minutes of this wedding service taking place.

the great window on the east side that was put into the 1860s. it's a very different window. this one. the other one above the west door which is a tudor window is at least 500 years old. they're both magnificent and the duke of edinburgh looking pretty cheerful. >> that's the first time we have seen him walking in public since his operation. looking great as usual and perfect form clearly elated. >> i know we're also enjoying this scene now. >> what a scene it is. what a scene it is. >> it's a wedding. >> he found out one of the bridesmaids was going to be 2 years old. what were you thinking? meghan has a huge connection as well and the mulroney kids there.

>> ivy is there. they're very close friends of ms. markel and along with little ivy, her brothers will be popping out soon, twin brothers, age 7. they are all behaving very well so far. and they look utterly delightful. what do we make of what the flower girls are wearing? >> it's picture perfect. but what i really love is the confident waving as they came in. no big deal. really greeting the public in a way that i don't think i could do. it's amazing. >> charlotte is getting it down to a tee. >> she has got it down. >> we're looking at the car. the woman of the moment. meghan markle making its way

toward the west steps of st. george's chapel. well wishers waving, taking photos. what a moment of history for her. and in just a few moments time the doors will open and we'll get to see a dress talked about more than any other dress in the last couple of months. a lot of speculation this morning. we'll see meghan markle in all of her splendor. >> mulroney is with her. out they come. here comes the bride.

it looks to be an exquisitely cut and in many ways minimal and traditional dress with a splendid veil. meghan markle the bride is wearing her hair up. the veil is being caught in the may sunshine. >> stunning. >> a wave for the crowd and utterly exquisite dress. >> nervous now. >> do you know what i like about it? it does what i said. it fuses that sophistication that she brings to her outfits but it has that real romance. it's beautiful. absolutely beautiful. >> so we're looking at brian and john mulroney helping with the train. they're doing a fitting job because i don't reckon they have done this before. it is clare waight keller for givenchy.

so nobody had mentioned her other than you. >> she managed to keep it under wraps. >> let's go now to hugh. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

are born and nurtured and in which each member of the family in good times and in bad, may find strength, companionship, and comfort, and grow to maturity in love. marriage is a way of life made holy by god, and blessed by the presence of our lord jesus christ with those celebrating a wedding at cana in galilee. marriage is a sign of unity and loyalty which all should uphold and honor. it enriches society and strengthens community. no one should enter into it lightly or selfishly but reverently and responsibly in the sight of almighty god. harry and meghan are now to enter this way of life.

they give forth fragrance. arise my love, my fair one, and come away. set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave, it's flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. if one offered for love all the wealth of one's house, it would be utterly scorned. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> the address is given by the head of the church of the usa. >> liberating and light giving god father son and holy spirit, amen. from is song of solomon in the bible. set me as a seal upon your heart, a seal upon your arm, love is strong again, passion, it's flashes and flashes of fire. a raging flame, many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it out.

the late dr. martin luther king once said and i quote, we must discover the power of love. the redemptive power of love. and when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world. for love, love is the only way. there's power in love. don't underestimate. don't even oversentimentalize. there's power. power in love. if you don't believe me, think about a time when you first fell in love. the whole world seemed to center

around you and your beloved. well there's power. power in love. not just in it's romantic form but any form, any shape of love. there's a certain sense in which when you are loved and you know it, when someone cares for you and you know it, when you love and you show it, it actually feels right. there's something right about it. and there's a reason for it. the reason has to do with the source. you were made by a power of love. and our lives were meant and are meant to be lived in that love. that's why we are here. ultimately the source of love is god himself. the source of all of our lives. there's an old medieval poem that says where true love is

found god himself is there. the new testament says it this way, beloved, let us love one another because love is of god and those who love are born of god and know god. those who do not love, do not know god. why? for god is love. there's power in love. there's power in love to help and heal when nothing else can. there's power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will. there's power in love to show us the way to live. set me as a seal on your heart. a seal on your arm. for love it is strong as death.

but love is not only about a young couple. and the power of love is demonstrated by the fact that we're all here. two young people fell in love and we all showed up. but it's not just for and about it's more than that. jesus of nazareth, on one occasion was asked by a lawyer to sum up the essence of the teachings of moses and he went back and reached back into the hebrew scriptures and jesus said you should love the lord your god with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. this is the first and great commandment and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself. and then in matthews version he added, he said, on these two, love of god and love of neighbor

hangs all the laws, all the ophetseverything that moses wrote, everything in the holy prophet, everything that god has been trying to tell the world, love god. love your neighbors. and more than anything, love yourself. someone once said that jesus began most revolutionary movement in all of human history, a movement grounded in the unconditional love of god for the world and a movement mandating people to live that love and in so doing, to change not only their lives but the very life of the world itself. i'm talking about power. real power. power to change the world. if you don't believe me, well,

there's a place in america's antebellum south that explained the dynamic power of love and why it has the power to transform. they sang a spiritual even in the midst of their captivity. it's a healing balm, something that can make things. to make the wounded hole. there is a balm in gilead that heals the soul and one of the stanza says if you cannot preach like peter and you cannot pray like paul, you just tell the love of jesus, how he died to save us all. his way of love is the way of life.

he died to save us all. he died for anything he could get out of it. jesus did not get an honory doctorate for dying. he wasn't getting anything out of it. he gave up his life. he sacrificed his life for the good of others. for good of the other. for the wellbeing of the world for us. that's what love is. love is not selfish. love can be sacrificial. and in so doing, it counts redemptive. unselfish, sacrificial redemptive love changes lives. and it can change this world. if you don't believe me, just stop and think or imagine. think and imagine. think and imagine a world where

love is the way. imagine our homes and families when love is the way. imagine neighborhoods and communities where love is the way. imagine government and nations where love is the way. imagine business and commerce when love is the way. >> imagine the world when love is the way. when love is the way. unselfish, sacrificial, redemptive. when love is the way. no child will go to bed hungry at night ever again. when love is the way we will make justice roll down like a mighty stream and righteousness

like an ever flowing brook. poverty will become history. when love is the way, the earth will be a sanctuary. when love is the way we will lay town our sword and shields down by the riverside to study war. no more. when love is the way there's plenty good room for all of god's children. and when love is the way, we actually treat each other well, like we are actually family. when love is the way. we know that god is the source and we are brothers and sisters. children of god.

brothers and sisters a new heaven, a new earth, a new world, a new human family. and let me tell you something, solomon was right in the old testament that fire -- i'll sit down. we got to get you all married. he was arguably one of the great minds, great spirits of the 20th century. roman catholic priest, scientist, the scholar, a mystic. some of his writings said and others have that the discovery

of invention or harnessing of fire was one of the great scientific and technological discoveries in all of human history. fire to a great extent made human civilization possible. fire made it possible to cook food and to provide sanitary ways of eating which reduced the spread of disease and fire made it possible to heat warm environments and there by made human migration around the world a possibility even in the colder climate. is no -- there wasn't without fire. no iron without fire. no industrial revolution without fire. they're greatly dependent on the human ability and capacity to take fire and use it for human good. anybody get here in a car today? an automobile?

nod your heads if you did. i know there were some carriages. but those of us that came in cars, fire is a controlled harness. fire made that possible. i know that the bible says and i believe it that jesus walked on the water but i have to tell you i didn't walk across the atlantic ocean to get here. controlled fire in that plane brought me here. and can socially with each other. fire makes all of that possible and greatest discovery in all of human history. and harnesses the energy of fire again. if humanity ever had the energy

of love it would be the second time in history that we have discovered fire. dr. king was right. the redemptive power of love. and when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world. my brother, my sister, god love you, god bless you, and may god hold us all in those almighty hands of love. >> that was a very forceful and uplifting message from bishop michael to be followed by karen gibson and the kingdom choir.

members of the calvary lining the steps ready to escort the couple through the town. and there is the kiss that everyone was hoping for and waiting for. >> well, that was a service and a half, wasn't it? >> you took the words right out of my mouth. what an exquisite scene. the magnificent floral displays behind them and we saw just a glimpse of that tiara. from 1932. the central taken from 1893.

we were talking about the dress quite a lot this morning and what a dress it seems to be. what do you make of it? >> listen i'm slightly outside my comfort zone here but she just looks stunning and happy. they did a great job. >> joe it wasn't what you expected but what are your thoughts? >> it's absolutely genius, actually in that it completely compliments her style. it's got the real pure romance as well as perfectly regal for a wedding. gorgeous. >> and we are seeing members of the royal party there. there's little princess charlotte but also take a look around charlotte. what a day this is. her mother the duchess of cambridge is saying. just a few short weeks since she gave birth but there she is looking splendid and doria ragland. seemed to be having a few quite

thoughts to herself but now there she is with her extended family, the prince of wales having a few words with her there. it could not be a more beautiful day here at windsor. >> so the carriage is ready. harry makes his way in and helps his new wife into this that they have chosen for this carriage procsion. a lovely open carriage perfect for this day. giving everyone a very good look at the young couple as they make their way through the streets of windsor and then back to the castle on the long walk. it's going to be a lovely procession. we have been enjoying the service and now we're going to enjoy the scenes as well. and i have to say, robert, at

this point, they look remarkably happy and relaxed given that they have been through what for most of them is one of life's great milestones. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding.

>> all the stresses and nerves beforehand, it's all over now and you can hear the roars of the crowd echoing in from outside the ramparts. here they are. it's going to be another roar now as thousands of representatives of all of their charities welcome them out here. ♪ >> national anthem being played for the new couple to make their way through the lower ward and then they go up toward the great round towel past st. george's chapel there and waving to the 2,000 or more people that were

especially invited to be included in this lovely event today and of course watched keenly by smiling members of the royal faly including the queen and the duke of edinburgh that is here today after just a month of surgery on his hip. people very pleased that he was able to make it. look at the waves and the smiles and really, robert, the relief. >> yes. the relief. the royal family standing waving rather than being in the procession. >> absolutely. just such amazingly lovely scenes and this is that really rather wonderful pageantry and this is going to be shortly the first time that members of the public outside the castle walls, there's definitely more than 100,000 estimated to come out to see them, get a chance to be the new duke and duchess of sussex

for the first time and the roars as they come up around the streets of windsor will be quite amazing. >> just go into the eastern end of the castle where they will disappear for a few moments and then i expect her majesty the queen and the duke of edinburgh to be leaving. >> more people leaving the chapel itself including the mother of the bride. that's been for her a pretty intense and he emotional moment. >> extraordinary. she looked remarkably composed the whole way through. really emotional as she understandably saw her daughter arrive. >> very soon the queen will be leaving st. george's chapel and the national anthem will be played to signal the queen's departure.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> the queen and duke of edinburgh making their way back to the eastern end of windsor castle. that's where she spends so much of her time and that's where of

course we get the sense of the fact that she loves windsor probably more than anywhere else. and who can disagree with that given the fact that it is a place that has a thousand years of royal history attached to it. but here we are, the wonderful carriage procession underway and the young couple preparing to greet the crowd on the streets of windsor. >> we're just seeing on the top of the round tower to the right, the largest of all the very large royal standards, the biggest one has come out today. it's magnificent. it's so big. >> such wonderful scenes. these are of course the horses pulling the carriage, shortly they'll be joined by the household calvary and it will be lovely to see the interaction between harry and meghan there. they'll be seeing the crowd for the first time. >> the windsor grey horses

especially selected for the procession today. the ones that will be on their best behavior but also the ones that look really magnificent. everything has been prepared in great detail for this procession. probably the best part of half an hour but every inch of this procession has been planned and you can just see something, you know, not just the color, not just the style, not just the pageantry but it's going to be an impressive show for the world to see. it is a symbol, if you like, of military precision but also the kind of cerimonial flair that the british bring to these things. >> they do. we see this sometimes when the queen welcomes world leaders here to state visits. there's a comparable show of the procession that will come up. so what we're going to see there is really unlike anything. it's going to be the longest procession through the streets of windsor we have seen in a

very long time. >> you mentioned the extraordinary training and precision that goes into this. these horses actually have special training to prepare them for the crowds they're going to see and hear. i'm told they have ear must haves in their ear plugs and ears to help them cope with the noise of the crowd and what will be lovely to see is to see the groom in this household calvary. >> fans welcome here. household calvary coming down and the new duke and duchess of sussex. >> there's a wonderful fusion here of significance of this matched with the rather charming small scale streets of windsor that are just sparkling today

with the beautiful union side banners and, indeed, you may see at some point it's been made by the tiny busy hands of the school children of windsor and many other kids. so we're seeing a lovely uniting of some rather handmade and very proper moments. estimates today that around about 120,000 people would amass in and around windsor and i have to say i think it's going to be in the final count many, many more thousands than that. windsor grey have done their job well. and there we get a glimpse of the bride and the groom. >> stay tuned for more of the

royal wedding on bbc america.

>> so the carriage procession on the way to the heart of the town of windsor. it's always great for household calvary. so commanding officer commanding the traveling escort for the entire procession is the commanding officer of the cal vary since december of 2015. he is probably on the right-hand

side as we look. and then we have it yesterday about today's escort. and been with them since 2002. a couple of tours in afghanistan, i think, and i think he actually served in prince harry's troop. so lots of personal links here today. some of which are not so obvious but it's how much thought has gone into this procession as well. >> it's wonderful to see the calvary. there's another link between the commanding officer and harry. his sister, who is actually a bridesmaid at princess diana's wedding and his father trained the prince of wales as a young jockey so fantastic to see them

doing their thing. doing what they do best. that pomp and pageantry makes them feel very proud, doesn't it? >> they come past victoria barracks there. he was actually competing show jumping in front of the queen. inrestinthe oria barracks was on the left there. they look modern but it's been there since the 18th century, the end of the 18th century. but of course much enlarged now and it's where they turn. they rotate to change the guard at windsor castle and the whole procession coming down into king's road where i walked down there yesterday. everyone has been working very hard on their gardens and very

hard on their bunting. you'll see a lot of stars and stripes as well which is a nice touch and canadian maple leaves as well. >> the common wealth is a big theme not only in the bride's wedding dress and her veil but she had every single flower of the common wealth. all 53 embroidered, which was a lovely touch. >> it's probably why the veil was so long. it's a very nice touch. in those days there was only 8 nations and today it has 53. 250 members of the armed forces serving today in various roles. lots of them with links to prince harry. the irish very prominent today because these irish guard versus been on duty and the band performing for us here at

windsor castle and they have been hard at work all day as well. lots of individual members and then different serving groups and regimens involved. >> people made a huge effort to decorate their homes. lots of them, indeed, we were just here two or three days ago and people were preparing at that point when the town was not so busy. time and again people were talking about the weather and the's always a bit of a gamble in may this has been a gamble that paid off very handsomely and now what we have seen on procession is just some of these streets before they'll get to the most

spectacular part of all which is the long walk. we saw the car earlier speeding through. this will be a very differ experience and of course with the household calvary in attendance providing the escort it's going to be one of the most memorable images of the day without any question. >> absolutely. a spectacular site. you mentioned a few glitches. i think the couple will be relieved. windsor could not look more stunning. this is exactly the picture of windsor of great britain that we want to be seeing at the moment, don't we? >> the queen's guard did say you could not have picked a better time than may for the wedding. it's at its absolute best and when the weather is like this it's going to be the most fabulous global picture. and as we can already see, people are on one side of the road, they're going to charge all the way across to the other into the park so they get a second look at the couple coming

back the other way. these crowds, we were expecting big crowds but these have exceeded all expectations. there's no room on the pavements for any more people. i would like to just at this point acknowledge those members of the armed forces. it's a pretty arduous duty on a day like today with temperatures so high. prince harry appointed commodore and chief by the queen a couple of years ago. taking over from t duke of edinburgh that held that title for 64 years so that's very much rich family heritage and the army air corps, we saw them on the steps of saint george's chapel early. first already mentioned and

prince harry was appointed honorary in october 2008, a decade ago by the queen. so just to underline they're all here for a reason, yes? it's not by accident. they're all here because they have a personal bond with prince harry today. >> prince harry talked about so movingly how his ten years serving in the armed forces changed him. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding. >> just looking at them now, happy and taking in all the kind of enjoyment of the day and i think it's normal as well as we

>> just looking at them now, happy and taking in all the kind of enjoyment of the day and i think 's normal as well as we see them here, newly married couple, ready to embark on this

fantastic journey back to windsor castle and the reception that will take place in a short while, a reception hosted by her majesty the queen. and the kind of things they intend to do. what can we say with confidence already about what they want to achieve and the places they want to go to? >> as they made very clear in their interview, they do see their future very strongly within the common wealth. prince harry is going to be a common wealth youth ambassador. they turn there on to the long walk and the centerpiece of this procession and i think the common wealth, we've seen touches of it all through the service. it is an extremely important part of their lives. they should be traveling a lot through the common wealth. we don't know where the honeymoon is. i put an awful lot on the fact that it will be somewhere in the common wealth and that's part of

their future. >> they're literally going to hit the ground running and as soon as they're back from their honeymoon they're going to be doing quite a lot of travel. we think that's possibly a trip to dublin being considered and maybe the netherlands too and in the autumn a big common wealth tour to australia, the invictus games and reinvigorating the common wealth and what it means to young people will be high on thr agenda. >> traveling escorts leading the carriage rht along. the long walk which is in the heart of windsor grey park and this is the highlight of the reception. >> all 2.65 miles ahead of it. >> and the site of what i can only describe as the natural

grace of the duchess of sussex. and there she is. waving entirely which is quite something because this today is quite a crowd. >> at the end of this, the duchess maybe the second person to call her back. the carriage will go through and then they'll go to the reception after photographs.

>> now the photographs are interesting. we know that alexi lubomirski, he usually takes pictures for vogue and big stars, beyonce, but today he'll be taking six official photographs of the royal party including all of those astonishingly well behaved flower girls and page boys that helped the royal couple on to the west steps of st. george's chapel today. crowd is made up of so many people. 21 degrees with a light breeze here in windsor and in 1981 it was a scorching 24 degrees. we're lucky today. >> the queen will host the reception at st. george's hall in windsor castle for the congregation. and the head chef of the royal household is mark flanagan. >> there's been a lot of chat about the cake. is it elderflower and lemon? we saw that on the instagram account of claire ptak, who is making the cake. quite a moment. and meghan markle is somebody

who is used to being composed. it's part of the job of an actress to perform but here this is a very different role. this is a woman who seems very natural. very connected. not acting her way through a huge event which she might have been expected to do but for every moment of the service and now she sits by her husband, she is beaming with a smile and taking in what is surely the view of a lifetime. >> just take a moment as well just to talk about her entrance into the chapel.

>> that was a remarkable thing and i think it takes a great deal of self-possession and composure at a moment when maybe more than ever, in the days that lead up to this magnificent day she's had her troubles. the fact that her father was unable to come due to his health. she had to make a decision, how was she going to enter the chapel? how was she going to meet the man that was about to become her husband? and she chose to do it on her own with those 7-year-old twins holding her train. they did a good job of that and yet the composure that it took was quite something. but she had it. >> she did. and as the world watches windsor today, a worldwide audience of 1.9 maybe will be nudging 2 billion. the sun is out. not a cloud in the sky. and these people on the long

walk. some of who have been there since thursday. many of whom have come today in the train station. and then is the sight they have been waiting to see. the crowds come to an end on the long walk and then it is the private garden that the royal couple will move into. the cheers will be distant sound and they'll have a few moments to enjoy just each others company. before they meet the 600 odd guests. a service like no other. royal wedding.

>> and as the royal couple always -- tell you what that was like. right down the walk. >> i think they might well tak a minute to congratulate each other on getting through what is essentially an intensely private moment under such scrutiny.

harry walked down st. george's chapel i did think he had the look of slightly nervous but not anymore. >> he's a very happy man. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding on bbc america.

>> and the goal of the military today, so personal to harry. 250 members of the armed service who were involved in making sure

that this splendid bit of pagentry is all it should be and there's many of them servicemen that harry knows well and served well. what a shot. >> a beautiful scene. >> so the household calvary can be found. a splendid parade around windsor

and it's been a treat for every single person that came along and waved their flags and stood patiently to see the royal couple. the duke and duchess of sussex. >> well, that was the moment everybody here, thousands of people on the long walk were waiting for. the procession. we have cried all the tears. there was a collective awe when harry lifted the veil. let's get some highlights. >> the look of love between them. the kiss. >> yeah, the look of love for me. he couldn't take his eyes off her, could he? >> no. >> it was a moment for you. >> i like my harry. >> but the tiara.

>> it was beautiful. i'm very hurt about it. >> it's maybe the last royal wedding for a long time but it's absolutely perfect. cheers! >> the look of love. >> absolutely gorgeous. >> there's so much to talk about. do stay with us here on the bbc because now we've seen the dress and the guests. no other words. can i come to you first of all, what did you make of that? >> i'm blown away by -- absolutely beautiful. >> wearing a flight path here. these planes coming in, i can only imagine the pilot if you say if you look to your left and there's this unbelieven sale unfolding. i thought it was magical. you talked about her grace and

how confident she felt. if you look back at all the film, she's always carried herself with dignity. but what stayed with me are her freckles. she used to talk about about biracial and being told to cover them. that was symbolic that today, i am meghan markle. you're looking at me and what a sight to behold. >> the moment the carriage procession came down, you guys know how to do weddings. >> definitely know how to do weddings. >> but not like this. >> they were really just two people in love. you saw it so clearly. they just really, really love each other. >> we're going to talk to you a little bit more later but just briefly, your thoughts on the dress. >> absolutely stunning.

nailed it. it was superb. this was absolutely as i said before the perfect fusion. >> it was refined wasn't it? >> it was appropriate for the location. >> it was exquisite. just superb. >> let's go to anita. >> how was that? >> incredible. sensational. meghan looked beautiful. the gospel choir were on form. it's probably the best wedding i have ever been to. >> what was the emotion like? >> of course. and you can feel the electricity in the air and i have no skill when it comes to singing whatsoever. >> but you have all the rugby

skills so we forgive you. now all royal weddings are a moment in history. >> obviously for a number of levels but i think more than anything else, the reverend's address, i think the world's in a bit of turmoil at the moment. it cut through that and it was to celebrate harry and meghan's day but talk about loving people more. that we should be more accepting and i think it was amazing and i think it will go down in history for a long time. >> i think you're absolutely amazing. you look very smart james. i'll let you go. you have a lovely lunch to get to. >> we could do half an hour on the bishop's address couldn't we? >> yeah, that might be a whole other program. but it has been a terribly exciting, i was ing to say exhausting day but exhilarating day. how are they feeling in los

angeles where they is been up all night watching? >> well, the sun is rising here in los angeles and in santa monica. it's been fascinating joining this viewing party and just watching them watch their hometown girl join the british royal family 5,500 miles away. it wasn't just that you could see the emotion. the chapel cheers as you'd expect as we saw the dress for the first time. the perfective of being a brit here watching this you just got an absolute sense of the impact that this is having globally. your afternoon there is just beginning. our long night is over and it's time for bed here but i'll leave

you with this comment as i was watching the service, there was a girl sitting next to me who lent over to her friend and whispered to her, this marriage is going to change the world and i think that is the feeling of the people who have watched it here in los angeles. >> richard, thank you so much. >> stay tuned for more of the royal wedding.

still a big crowd here. what i'd like to do for a couple of minutes is to tell you what's going on inside the castle. the reception that's happening and what you think has been

going on there. what it tells us again about the nature of today's events. >> we know cake is not your traditional cake. lemon and elder flower. they've started bringing their own sparkling wine. the queen is serving it for the first time at the commonwealth summit, so they could be having the queen's own wine. it went down extremely well. they make their own ice cream here. so it's going to be home ingredients. >> well, the kitchens here have been cooking for something like 800 years with a bit of modernization in between so just in terms of what's happening at lunch and the private reception this evening which does involved a reduce number of people and that's been the source of commentary. >> very intimate. only 200 people make it on to that very elite list. we'll have speeches from the

queen and possibly from the prince of wales tonight and it's very under wraps. you can read all about it in the sunday times tomorrow. >> still lots of very impressive military going on. the royal marines making their way through the senor of windsor and what i'd like to do now really quickly is just ask for the highlights of the day because to be fair, you know, we have a choice. in terms of you know, not just the arrival of the bride and the emergence of the dress but there were several special moments. so what's the highlights? >> the music. the music in the chapel. monarchy is all about bridging the past with the present and it was a glorious fusion there. it just brought past and present together beautifully. >> to me, it's seeing meghan incredibly composed walking herself up the aisle. she looked radiant. that dress was sensational but

also i think charles and william had giggles at some point. the sense of humor in the chapel was fabulous. >> it's been great. thank you for enjoying the events with us. thank you very much indeed and with that let's join them again. >> it's been an incredible procession. we saw the marines there, the irish guard, which leads us to our favorite moment, the highlights. meredith and joe and i imagine -- >> well, you know, the dress, the dress, the dress. it was absolutely worth the wait and the surprise. it was pure class. that's the word, isn't it? >> and the veil. >> that was beautiful and the veil with symbolism. that was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. >> and with meghan it's totally considered and it's like a world view and really thinking about everything. i don't think that the actual

designer, the fact that she is the first female artistic director of givenchy i don't think that's an accident. i think she considered all of those elements when she made the decion. >> i also love watching her mom doria that's the only family member that was here for meghan and this has to be for her an incredible whirlwind and she has hawaiian -- maintained the same dignity and class as her daughter. >> given the amount of -- i'm sure it's background noise to a degree, but the amount of press and media speculation, a lot of it, much of it not good that's happened around her family, for her to be there and be the person she is and conduct herself in the way she has always conducted herself but to do it under the spotlight is quite something. >> absolutely and for all the things that happened over the past week, meghan markle said in the past her dad was such an important part of her life growing up so i'm sorry. i'm really saddened that he couldn't be here for this moment. >> there was a beautiful tender

moment though when meghan was walked down by the prince of wales and prince harry mouthed very quitely, thank you. let's go over now. >> gorgeous. you guys like sensational. how was that experience? >> extraordinary. we when out to go to the loo and we came back in and there wasn't a seat in the house so we were going to put me on one side and then there's two seats over there. where? right at the front. >> i saw you. >> it was like pot kettle black. >> what were the high likes for you? >> well, apart from the seat which was obviously amazing, it was, i mean the choir was incredible. it was seamless. it was amazing. the people that, everyone was so friendly. so relaxed. everyone was laughing and joking.

it was warm. was just a room full of ess an. the whole, the entire wedding was just magical. absolutely magical. >> i think that happiness is seeping out of the walls of the chapel and everyone's televisions as well. >> we've been talking about the magnificent music. >> the fannic voice of ellen. we know each other pretty well. we're all friends. how was it for you? >> very exciting. >> got the call in the middle of march. a little bit but i thought what a perfect thing to walk into a wedding too. i have sung it at one other wedding but it's such a special event all around.

it's been a really beautiful day. >> lovely atmosphere. i am wondering what is the challenge of performing on this kind of stage, does it make a difference? >> yeah, the biggest stress is how fast you're going to walk because of course it's all down to its her moment and you don't want to be too fast. you don't want to arrive three minutes and you don't want to miss getting there. there's been so much planning. the rehearsal was like a tightly woven embroidery. i saw prince harry at the start. he said good luck. i said more good luck to you. and everyone just seems very happy to be there. it seemed like a true celebration all day long. >> you can tell us now who you

were most thrilled to meet today. >> i met george clooney. >> that's very honest of you. >> it really was that kind of emotional ceremony where i think whatever age you are, where ever you come from you really reached out. we have the kids from . george's school that watched me just behind it on the grass here. you have come all the way and i know for you standing here listening to that ceremony worth the wait. >> worth the travel, worth the pressure of getting here. it was amazing. an amazing day. >> well, may i say you look absolutely fantastic. >> thank you. >> what's so special. >> just being able to be here. the atmosphere when the royals passed they acknowledged us on the way past. so that was very nice and very special. >> you got to share it with your mom as well.

catherine, where are you? we've had a chat live on bbc one. you're only a couple of steps away. it must have been an incredible occasion. for you it was amazing to see the royals come down here. >> it was great. we saw harry and william before the service walk straight past us. they waved and we got to say hello to them. it was great. >> you go to school literally over there. >> yeah. just down the steps and we have a very close bond with the castle and the chapel so it's very special. >> of course. this is a day that none of you will ever forget. i'm so glad we all got to share it together genuinely. but from us down here in the lower ward it's been an incredible, incredible day.

mom, dad, can we talk? sure. what's up, son? i can't be your it guy anymore. what? you guys have xfinity. you can do this. what's a good wifi password, mom? you still have to visit us. i will. no. make that the password: "you_stillóhave_toóvisit_us." that's a good one. seems a bit long, but okay... set a memorable wifi password with xfinity my account. one more way comcast is working to fit into your life, not the other way around.

>> i don't think there will be any love lost between chelsea and manchester united in the fa cup final. >> see what you did there. see what you did. >> the big question, what will the refs be wearing? >> that is a big question. i can reveal the referee will be wearing all black today. won't be yellow top. the chelsea subs have yellow bibs. that's the reason for that. this is the fa cup. manchester united taking on chelsea and prince william bidding here today normal heine would be here giving out the trophy but the widow of ray wilkins is going to do the job today. lovely touch from the football association.

we're on in a few minutes time so i'm going to get ready. don't forget as well it's also the scottish cup final today. that kicks off at 3:00. we're on from 2:00 throughout the afternoon to you. the build up to the game starts at 10 past 4:00 so extend the barbecue and the street party into the afternoon. just roll from windsor to wimbley. we'll see you later on. i need to give this back otherwise i'm in a spot of bother. >> thank you very much. we'll be looking forward to the match. of course we will. what am i going to do? i'm going to pop down there in a few minutes time because i want to chat with people and see what they thought of the service. most people seem to agree with one thing, very important conclusion to draw up, it's a very different kind of service. one that lots of us had even imagined even though we had been told it would be much more modern in some ways and of course this unique pattern of the service which lead us to such a joyous conclusion.

it's been great to be here. thanks for watching. >> thank you. everyone comes out and the most wonderful thing about it was a room full of happiness. it takes something. it takes something for people to come out and that be the underlying emotion is room full of happiness. >> highlights for you for the day. >> i think that tiara and just the fact that, just the choir, the sort of absolute love in the room. it was absolutely gorgeous. i can't stop smiling. so imagine being the bride. >> i don't know if the reception is going to be anything like an american wedding reception but i guarantee a drunk or tipsy uncle will say when are you going to have a baby? it will start today. >> there were two highlights for me. one was when i heard stand by me. the choir singing stand by me

but that very intimate moment between the bride and groom where we saw the dean of windsor say in which children are all, talking about marriage. and both of them could not help but a smile play across their lips. i don't know if a hand was squeezed. certainly something travelled between them and of course that we hope might be the next page of their story where they give to us a gorgeous little product of their union and we can enjoy that too because there was some intimacy between the two of them during that moment that seemed poignant. >> we would be remiss if we didn't mention the bishop before we left. i don't think any church in england has seen an address like that before. >> i heard a noise and it might have been jaws hitting the floor. >> that is typical in america. don't be surprised by that. >> meredith, it's not typical here. >> thank you so much both of you. >> thank you. >> it's been fabulous to share. >> that's just about it from us.

so now it has been really truly a wonderful occasion. enjoyed by millions around the world. possibly even billions and if you want to relive it all over again, this evening is a highlight show on bbc 2 at 7:00 p.m. >> cup fal coming up later. we will leave you with some of the most memorable images. from all of us, thank you, good-bye. ♪ ♪ ♪

meghan the first thing he thought was, what an incredible hi sexy, attractive woman. >> she is, he was the most eligible bachelor on the planet, he had his pick of any girl he wanted. >> it was a relatively chance encounter. they didn't know each other, they'd never met before, they were introduced through a mutual friend. >> as soon as harry walked into the room and saw this beautiful vision before him, he realized first of all he had to up his game. when he listened to her coersation, articulate, intelligent, well-traveled, but also someone who is a humanitarian, he also realized that she was the one for him. >> i'm told that very quickly harry realized there was something special about this girl. after the first couple of dates. >> everything, all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect. it was this beautiful woman just tripped and fell into my life, i fell into her life. >> he felt comfortable enough he invited her to botswana.

that's his spiritual home. he wouldn't take just anyone to bots ju s wau botswana with weeks of meeting them. >> having spent a week together, sharing a tent under the stars, i think this must have been the point they really decided whether things were going to work out between them. >> but he did that with meghan, and you know, it was under the stars in botswana, all terribly remoney tic reromantic. but i think he really fell in love with her. >> for many of us, our vision of harry, so frozen on that picture of him walking behind his mother's carriage at her funeral.

then suddenly the next thing we know, harry's getting into trouble. >> he had a difficult teenage period. he drank too much. he partied too much. i think he was -- i think you could say a lot of that was self-medication. >> he was the one who was falling out of night clubs, picking fights with paparazzi photographers. he was the one who was taking drunks in a las vegas suite. the most ridiculous behavior. >> but those actual incidents were few and far between and one needs to really cut him a little slack, it seems to me. >> the family has got through his adolescence very well. there might have been some things which went down well with the press. but he seems to have kept to his idea. >> we know that he has broken the rules. people like that about him. i think it makes him more relatable. >> he has changed and progressed

from a wayward young royal to an incredibly impressive young man. i think the making of prince harry was, without a doubt, serving in the army for ten years. >> the army will always be an important part of his life because there's interest in veterans affairs. it is probably until he met meghan the most significant development in his life so far. >> you feel like his journey is complete. you feel now that as he marries meghan markle, that sort of final piece of his jigsaw has fitted into place. ♪ >> i think meghan is probably a person of great ambition.

i mean, it's quite clear that from an early age, she wanted to perform. >> i mean, she said that she had to start at the bottom and climbing that slippery pole of stardom to get to the top hasn't been easy. it cost her her first marriage. it cost her a lot. >> i think she was hardwired from birth to give back, to be an activist, to put herself out there. at the same time, she was encouraged by her mother always to look after herself. but the way she went about turning herself into, if not quite a hollywood a-lister, but into a very successful working actress. >> i wasn't black enough for the black roles. and i wasn't white enough for the white ones. leaving me somewhere in the middle as the ethnic camilhamel who couldn't book a job. this is precisely why "suits" stole my heart. it's the goldilocks of my acting career. where finally i was just right. >> it wasn't as if she just

walked straight into that role. in "suits." and of course playing rachel zane was the role that shot her to become -- famous, to becoming a household name. >> i think you can maybe look to her upbringing. it strikes me that her mother is a fantastic influence on her. we know she's been a social worker, a yoga teacher. she obviously cares a lot about society. we know from a young age she was exposing meghan to things like slums in jamaica they'd seen on holiday. >> she was raised in a nice leafy suburb in los angeles. she went to a good prep school. and actually the reason that her father was able to affd to send her to that school was because won the lottery, he won $750,000. >> she was taught by her father the virtues of hard work. he'd work 80, 90 hours a week as a licensing director. this combination, and also the fact that she always felt something of an outsider.

because she never really, at school, joined in with, say, the african-american group, or the white girls. and people were kind of shocked when they saw her mother, who's african-american, they thought she was italian. so she's always -- she's lived in a world where people have made racist remarks not knowing that she's actually biracial. >> and i think growing up, her mother, doria, was very determined, i think that meghan grew up aware that she grew up in quite a privileged background, but there were others that were less lucky than she was. >> so she's had to learn from quite an early age not only to be diplomatic with her parents, who split up when she was just 2, but be diplomatic with the outside world. she's learnt to bend, she's learnt to be fluid, she's learnt to see the other point of view. >> that is what i grew up seeing. so that is where i grew up being.

a young adult with a social conscience, to do what i could and to, at the very least, speak up when i knew something was wrong. young people view the

family like everything else,

very differently to their parents and the fact that this figure, meghan markle, is a divorcee, is from a mixed-race background, is an actress, is attractive to them. it makes them feel that the monarchy is not somehow up on a remote pedestal, it's not something that their grandparents like and get excited about. it's something for them. >> i think that when you've got an american who's argued for gender equality, but also is accepted by the royal family, that shows, to me, that britain is changing as a nation and that the royal family is reflecting that change. >> the queen has gone further than any of her predecessors in sort of coming off her gilded throne and mixing with people and thinking ahead of what will

suit people. >> we are seeing a transition. as slow as it is, it is happening. so i think the monarchy as reached a point where it absolutely knows it needs to modernize. it knows it needs to move forward. it knows it needs to do that in order to stay relevant. at the helm of that movement are the young royals. because they are the ones that people can connect with. >> prince william, prince harry, and the duchess of cambridge were really reaching out to people. they go and they meet all sorts of people. and they're very open. and i think that that's the future of the monarchy, really. >> never let it be said the royal family is not above adapting. i mean, it has survived a thousand years of change and remains in situ. it is brilliant at navigating its way in chaes through social life, the mores o the time. they've done it my, many times. they reinvent themselves every few generations.

it's a remarkable journey that the royal family has been on, and it shows great resilience and adaptability. and i think relevance. >> the great thing that i feel about this marriage between meghan and harry is that meghan is -- she's representative of a great many people in our society today. >> we look back to the 1970s and early 1980s. the royal family was a do not touch, white-gloved, big handbags monarchy. you can see the huge transition, the transformation in the monarchy, mainly in this queen's reign. >> times have changed so dramatically. when the queen came to the throne, divorcees were not welcome at court. now three of her four children are divorced. her heir, prince charles, is a divorcee who is married to a divorcee. >> a lot was made of the fact

that meghan was dual heritage. i don't think that was an issue for the queen. and that she was an american actress. well, if anything was going to raise eyebrows, i think it was probably that. because meghan had clearly had quite a colorful life up until this point. she'd had ten years in show business. but there didn't appear to be any skeletons in her closet. >> i think diana would have been thrilled by meghan. i think she would have loved her glamor, she would have liked the work she's doing on the charitable front, most of all she'd have adored the fact that she makes her younger son so very, very happy. >> she would have seen am in meghan something of herself in the fact that she's lived to give back. that she has a sense of the wider world and helping people who have got fewer advantages than herself. so she would have been thrilled too to see that harry is no longer wild harry, but mature harry. >> it's impossible to avoid the

comparison with the le princess diana. meghan obviouslyas this incredible, natural rapport with especially children. and people, she's very at ease of them. obviously she looks very glamorous and beautiful. again, like princess diana before her, she has chosen to champion causes which might traditionally raise eyebrows, i suppose. she doesn't seem frightened to get in and get into the things she cares about. >> i think there's something mythic about this, that in a way prince charles had his quest to find a woman and found the wrong one. he was looking the wrong places. and harry found his straight away. and it's interesting that he's not allowed any kind of second doubts, second thoughts, to come into it. she hasn't allowed the palace courtiers to say, are you sure, sir, are you absolutely right in your own mind about this? because he's been certain from

day one. >> we're through, thank you very much. they're very happy indeed is all i can say. >> charles is very happy for harry. in fact, i've heard clarence house are delighted with the match. and i think he, you know, has done a fantastic job in bringing his sons up as a sole parent for a very long time. for any parent it's a wonderful moment when you know that your child has found the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. >> but i think that charles is very proud of harry. and i think they have quite a lot in common, the two of them. we tend to look at harry and think, he's so like his mother. actually, he's also very like his father. and he is emotional like his father and sensitive like his father. >> charles will have cautioned harry that to make sure he's making the right decision, to really be certain that this girl

will understand completely, utterly, what her life is going to be like. i mean, there really can be no going back. once you marry a member of the royal family, especially someo that's sohigh-profile as harry, then your life is set in stone for the foreseeable future. >> it's been a quick courtship by royal standards. but i think you have to remember that, you know -- had prince charles married the woman he first fell in love with, he would have married camilla parker bowles. so i think if anyone's going to tell harry, marry for love, don't make the mistakes i made, it's going to be charles. ♪ ♪

>> i -- i've never even heard about her until this friend said, meghan markle. i was like, right, okay, give me a bit of background, what's going on here? no, i'd never -- i'd never watched "suits." i'd never heard of meghan before. and i was beautifully surprised when i walked into that room and saw her. there she was sitting there. i was like, i'm really going to have to up my game. three, maybe four weeks later that i managed to persuade her to come and join me in botswana. and we -- we camped out with each other under the stars. we spent five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. then we were really by ourselves. which was crucial to me to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other. >> i don't see it as giving anything up. i just see it as a change. >> a new challenge. >> it's a new chapter.

if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough,

it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serus, potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. this condition has not been reported with entyvio. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's treatment isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach.

i think harry is self-aware

enough to realize that he is the supplicant. he is the one who is desperate for somebody to say, "i will." because he knows how difficult it is moving into this family. everybody talks about the glamor of it and all the rest of it. it ain't that glamorous. once you went on the first walk-about in nottingham she'll have been told, just think of it like the red carpet, except that there's no red carpet, it's colder and it's wetter, and you're talking about the weather, you're not talking about l.a. traffic. ♪ >> make no mistake about it, meghan's going to find it tough. every new arrival into the royal family has moments of

obviously -- notably diana, but also fergie, none of them found it particularly easy for all different kinds of reasons. >> she's given up her home. she's given up her career. she's given up everything, really, to move to the uk, to become a member of the royal family. she's given up her private life, which is just a huge thing for anyone to have to do. so you don't do that without really knowing that this is the real deal. and i think she very much feels that about harry. >> kensington palace, quite frankly, yes, it's a village. it can also feel a bit like a prison. diana certainly felt it was like an open prison. and she will find it difficult just getting out and about. >> she's not going to be able to just switch off. she doesn't just get to walk around the streets anymore as a private individual. >> the difficulties for her is that she's had a successful career. she's been able to get on a plane and go to cuba, go snorkeling in the caribbean. and go to africa on a

humanitarian mission. at the drop of a hat. and she's not had to answer to anybody. she was representing major canadian brands and major canadian charities. when she met harry. so she's given up an awful lot. simple things like finding a decent avocado. >> the first thing that strikes you when you hear meghan speak is how articulate and intelligent she and is how at ease she is speaking publicly. and this is something that she's done for a long time, way before meeting prince harry. we know that she has been a key in female empowerment and gender equality when she was just 11 years old. she wrote to a u.s. advertising company to complain they were saying, women across america were fighting greasy dishes. she couldn't understand why it didn't refer to men as well. >> and a few weeks went by, and to my surprise, i received letters of encouragement from

hillary clinton, from linda ellerbe, and from gloria allred. it was amazing. and it was roughly a month later when the soap manufacturer procter & gamble changed the commercial for their ivory clear dish washing liquid. they changed it from "women all over america are fighting greasy pots and pans" to, "people all over america." >> and this is something that she's followed throughout her childhood and early adulthood. >> i mean, that is just very indicative of a clearly very elgt young woman, a driven young woman. >> from quite an early age, she was a girl you can say had a moral compass. that is so say, she knew what was right and what was wrong. her mother, doria, was very

instrumental in that. even at schools. she would, for example, organize demonstrations against the gulf war. she would write letters to companies complaining about their sexist advertising. so way before she became a public figure she was an activist. >> and she actually went on to become an advocate for women at the u.n. and i think when you see her talking about issues like this very close to her heart, you get a real sense of the passion and the determination she has to see change in the world. ♪ >> translator: i used to go to school. i would hike too back because i dropped out.

>> getting water for the family, she gets to school late. also getting sick regularly because of the water infections. >> i'm so sorry. this is the water that she's going through all this work to get. keeping her out of school and making her sick as well. so time to build some wells and make things a lot better than what we're seeing here. ♪ >> this part of the process, really hands-on, being part of this clean water being here for everyone. feels really nice. there are 12 different water points in this community now. this one was just built last year. it gives water to 136 different households. the ease in which they're able to get water for health and wellness, these girls are able to stay in school because they

aren't walking hours a day to go and get water. this clean water source has changed the entire community. so it's really cool to see. >> i think it's so interesting that meghan has chosen some quite challenging subjects to champion. she's particularly honed in on sanitation. and kind of things that don't arise for your average hollywood actress. indeed for a member of the royal family. so we've got her going out with world vision to rwanda and looking at a problem of lack of sanitation and how it impacts on young children forced to walk for miles and miles. >> i think when it comes to charity, prince harry knows all about it. it started when he was a babe in arms when he watched his mother do those remarkable things that she did as a young woman before her death. and he found in meghan someone, i think, remarkably like to her. >> well, i do know that one of the things that bonded meghan and harry during those early

days was her genuine passion for philanthropy and humanitarian causes. >> meghan has spent a lot of her teenage and adult years fighting for women's rights and for women all over the world.

you'll often hear people say, you're helping women find their voices. i fundamentally disagree with that because women don't need to find a voice. they have a voice, they need to feel empowered to use it, people need to be encouraged to listen. she's from eritrea. four years ago she literally ran to get her freedom with bullets flying towards her. she was a slave. she is now working on a grassroots organization to try to free people who are still slaves in eritrea. i think this is one of those moments in life where you have -- that are so inspiring. she's incredibly brave and

strong. she has spoken at the united nations against the leaders in her country who are still enslaving people. so it's funny, i feel very emotional about it. because it's just so humbling and she's just so incredible. so this is luwana stefano. >> she wrote an articulate piece in "time" magazine, making most of us aware of what we otherwise wouldn't be aware of, and that's what harry loves about her. >> i traveled with world vision to meet girls and women directly impacted by the stigmatization of menstrual health and learn how it hinders girls' education. 113 million excellent girls in india alone are at risk of dropping out of school because of the stigma surrounding menstrual health. during my time in the field many girls share they feel embarrassed to go to school during their periods.

ill-equipped with rags instead of pads, unable to participate in sports, without bathrooms available to care for themselves, they often opt to drop out of school entirely. furthermore, with minimal dialogue about menstrual health hygiene, either a the school or home, due to the taboo nature of the subject many girls believe their bodies are purging evil spirits or that they are injured once a month. this is a shame-filled reality they quietly endure. all of these factors perpetuate the cyclef poverty and stunt a young girl's dream for a more prolific future. >> her work in india promoting the need for better sanitation for women is really quite a brave move. she has highlighted the fact that young girls in india quite often drop out of school, i think it's nearly a quarter. >> there's the struggle of young women who can't get educated

because they don't have access to the right san that's products when they're menstruating. tough, gritty issues she's taken on. >> this is not your typical royal charitable topic, it's not something that people perhaps would throw into conversation. >> she's not doing this because she thinks it's a trendy thing to be doing that's going to curry favor and get her fans. she's doing it because she's absolutely passionate about it. >> so her courage with some of her charities in particular in india where she's supporting charities and supporting ideas with women, for women, that would never have been discussed on the radio, television, or in the national newspaper, 20 years ago. ♪ >> harry is a perfect foil for his brother. and meghan is a very glamorous

addition to the royal family. let's not forget that the royal family's not just about substance. it's also about style. and she really brings a kind of hollywood gloss, a hollywood glamor, to the royal family. in the same way as grace kelly did in the 1950s. >> the last american actress to marry a european royal was grace kelly from philadelphia, who was a famous queen of hollywood in her time. it was very unlikely that somehow she'd end up princess of monaco, but she did, in a very glamorous wedding t prince ranier. >> of course, when kate married in she brought this stardom we hadn't seen, instant royal family, we wanted to know who shers wearing, which designer, which shoes, which makeup, there was suddenly a whole new dimension to covering the young

royals. and that was the royal trio. now three is about to become four. >> i think it's going to be very interesting to see how the fab four, if you like, work together in future. for a long time, harry was almost like the third wheel for william and kate's duo. and although they've done hugely important work together as a royal foundation, it will mean a lot to him to have someone by his side to support him in his own work. also someone who can develop their own branch of charitable work under the royal foundations umbrella. >> we are fully aware that with any institution, longevity comes with adapting to the ever-changing times. for that reason, my brother and i began the royal foundation to bolster the work our family has long contributed to. and to add to it with a progressive approach by listening to the people on the ground, engaging with grassroots leadership, and creating programming that is built on localized knowledge and gained trust to have the highest

impact. >> i think what's interesting is i hear a lot of people saying, when speaking about girls 'em powerment, finding and knowing their worth, women's empowerment as well, you'll often hear people say, you're helping women find their voices. i fundamentally disagree with that because women don't need to find a voice. they have a voice. they need to feel empowered to use it and people need to be encouraged to listen. >> seeing the four of them operating together recently and talking about their ambitions for future was really inspiring. and you really got a sense that they're going to get on really well together. there was a lot of rumor. >> when william married kate, i think the relationship inevitably changed slightly. as sibling relationships always do when a third person comes into it. >> the arrival of meghan is going to sort of continue the circle, complehe circle, if you like. because for the last six or seven yes, harry has been the third person alongside kate and willi william. they've got their charities they do together.

they do engagements together. i think we're going to see all four of them doing things together. so i think they'll an formidable foursome, if you like, four of them out there, and it will be very successful. >> but i do think there's a danger that harry and meghan could overshadow william and kate.

the fact that meghan brings so much experience in terms of her life in the public eye and her humanitarian work is hugely beneficial in terms of courtiers looking at how best to prepare her for her new life. >> it's a massive, seismic leap to go from hollywood to kensington palace. and it's a massive transition. and i believe that the palace have been really very hands-on with what's been dubbed "operation princess," which is a behind the scenes program to basically help meghan. but royal protocol, etiquette, all of those sort of things, security issues, those are things that do need to be learned. and her life as a royal is going to be very different from her life as a hollywood actress.

>> over the years, others have married into the royal family. we think of sarah ferguson and diana spencer. and they couldn't cope with it. and they found the expectation too high, too hard. meghan is that much older, much more confident, and more experienced, and i think that gives her a very good chance at making a good shot at this. >> harry's last two big affairs, his two big relationships with chelsea davey and krista bonner, did not last the distance quite simply because those girls didn't want the life that came with being a princess. ♪ >> but i do think that what really scared both of them off was the attention from the press. i think they were two very private girls who hated suddenly having their lives and their friends and their families trillion belled over by the media. they struggled with the

spotlight with the media attention. and a role they would take on were their relationships to continue with the prince. >> meghan has had a head start being an an actress without a doubt. she's used to the cameras, she's very media savvy, she knows how this world works. harry did shoot a warning shot over the bows of media very early on, six months after they had been seeing one another. the news got out. and nasty stories started appearing. >> as soon as there was any kind of racist remarks in the media, he was straight on to it. >> and harry at that point issued a statement, which is completely unprecedented, and he just said, back off. >> i tried to warn you as much as possible. i think both of us were totally surprised by the reaction of the first five, six months we had to ourselves of what actually

happened from then. so i think you can have as many conversations as you want and try and prepare as much as possible. but we were totally unprepared for what happened after that. >> harry has taken time to find the woman he wants to share the rest of his life with. he's had other girlfriends, of course. other romances. which might have gone the distance. but for various reasons, they haven't worked out. and i think with meghan markle, he has found someone in whom he can have a long and happy and fulfilling relationship. and i think in meghan he's found someone who possibly he can unburden to, but whoever it is, whatever it is she has, she can reach inside him, she can help him, she can understand him. and i think all those things are incredibly positive. >> of course in prince harry, she has the greatest mentor she could ask for. someone who has grown up in front of the world's lens. and knows the falls, the pitfalls, the advantages, and everything that comes with being

a royal. and is in, well, the best position, really, to teach meghan the ropes. >> so in finding meghan, really, harry said himself, the stars were aligned. he not only found his beautiful, intelligent woman, he talked about having to up his conversational game when he first met her. he's also found someone that, in his own words, is soood at the job itself. because she's done it before. she's used to being in front of the cameras, dealing with the public, albeit not to the extent that she now is. but she has had this humanitarian interest already. she's got life experience. she's been out there and done something and been incredibly successful. so, you know, i think she brings a great deal with her. >> the lord world is now more interconnected than ever thanks to the internet and social media. it's part of our everyday lives and has fundamentally change the way we communicate. as a result, the young leaders of today have the greatest opportunity of any in our

history to reach out across the commonwealth and effect change on a global scale. >> meghan and harry are going to be the fine arm of the royal family. they'll be working more in the commonwealth. after all, prince harry's always called africa his second home. so i'm sure that over the next 10, 15 years, you will see them living outside britain rather more than william and kate, will be their domestic arm of the royal family. retail.

under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast.

e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver.

very early out of the gate, i think you realize once you have access or a voice that people are willing to listen to, with that comes a lot of responsibility. also being able to go around to the commonwealth. i think it's just the beginning of a -- >> there's a lot to do, there's a lot to do.

>> they clearly think they can do something. they can make a difference, as they say. i think harry has proved in his own work with veterans' charities and mental health, together with meghan, they could be quite a formidable team. >> they are reflecting popular concerns, buting it too. and they're using the immense authority of the monarchy, which in many ways is more powerful than the power enjoyed by political leaders. >> they've worked on commonwealth projects in the uk and overseas, such as the commonwealth young leaders and the queen's commonwealth canopy project. and i think i'd love to see the two of them taking on a.m. bass dorial roles, if you like, going round the world and really working their magic. >> people on the street know. and what they know with harry and meghan is they seem to be two thoroughly nice people in love, and actually want to give service. and that's been a great strength

to the royal family. and they clearly want to do their charity work. want to make a difference. >> i think having meghan as someone from a mixed-race background is a huge asset to the royal family. it makes them more representative of the uk, but also the commonwealth and the wider world. perhaps politically britain is in danger of isolating itself a little and i think it sends a really important message. of course it can only be a huge bonus for u.k./u.s. relationships. >> she's going to be 37 very shortly. the time is ticking. harry has made it perfectly clear he wants children, so has she. i would predict by the time she's 40, she's had a couple of kids. >> we'd all love to see him with children of his own. i think it will happen sooner than later. >> i think the fact that she's two or three years older than him and the fact that she's had

a life, she understands a lot more about life than harry does. she's lived way outside the goldfish bowl of royalty. >> and you do feel and believe that there's something about their love for each other which is stopped by their mutual concern for the less advantaged. >> she's not some shy, retiring princess. she's articulate. she knows her own mind. and i think she'll bring a lot of refreshing change and continuity to the royal family. >> what i do think that harry's marriage to meghan will do is bring a whole lot of people who have not necessarily felt t monarchy w so for them, it will bring them into the fold. >> she's a strong woman. and i'm sure she'll find her way. >> they really seem to advance

off each other and have fun together. but they recognize their power as a couple is going to amplify things in a way that even as individuals with great star power they couldn't. >> and finally, they are blissfully, honestly, head over heels in love. you can't fake that sort of chemistry. they're clearly besotted with each other. when you watch someone engaged and they can't keep their hands off each other. >> with meghan markle, it seems he's picked an equal, someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them. >> they've caught the time and they've caught it appropriately for them. that i think we got lucky with prince harry and meghan. we got lucky and we should take advantage of it. are they ahead of the public? no, they're with the public. >> i mean, quite frankly, a hollywood scriptwriter couldn't have made this script any better. >> with fame comes opportunity. but it also includes responsibility. to advocate and share, to focus
