kate stepped out of the car then we were told the designer on social media. they were completely coordinated. we might have to wait until that very moment. >> that is another "suits" cast member. >> she was on a "real world" back in the day. might have been "real world london." that's going back a ways for me. she's also an actress. they just came from the cannes film festival. >> there's a shot of clifton, the place meghan and her mom were staying. >> who is this? federal? >> is that the -- justice of york. doesn't she look wonderful? >> she looks great. >> fergie in a navy, beautiful ensemble. >> forever -- >> duchess of york. >> york. >> americans, she's sort of forever fergie in our hearts, the redhead rebel that i remember took over, took the palace, the royal family by

storm. >> divorced, an embarrassment over the years. she and the duke are very close. there are rumors that they may someday remarry. they share a house here i believe. they do share a house. they are still very close. the fact that she has been invited is a seal of approval. >> this hat also looks likes a phillip tracy -- >> yes. >> he was determined. he doesn't like family rouse probably because he had so many as a small boy. he insisted that she came. because he saw discord in the family, she believes in inclusivity, in inviting people -- >> yes, he makes amends. william is less forgiving. he has a different personality. harry is very warm, emotional.

he's very, very close to his cousins, eugenie, zara. >> we'll see if we see them. now to the long walk and what anderson is seeing at the moment. >> we're watching the arrivals. you were satalking about seeing sarah ferguson who w n invite to the wedding. >> that's right. she's been ostracized from the family there's been foibles, mistakes on her part. she was -- it was a low. she claimed prince andrew didn't know anything. the fact that she's there is a big effort from prince harry. her daughter eugenie, his cousin, close. they're getting married in october where the family will be in attendance. i think harry is at a point where, come on, let's let the

dust settle and be inclusive, let's welcome her. it's a lonely walk, she won't be sitting with the royal family threw w -- >> she lives with andrew? >> yes, they've maintained a good relationship which for their children is lovely. the girls are smart, wonderful girls, a real asset. the only blood princesses that we have of the younger generation at the moment. the queen has tried to extend the olive branch. >> there's a reception after the wedding for all the invited guests, all 600. tonight there's -- prince charles is giving dar-- darin f2 you know? >> a knees up. >> what does that mean? >> that means -- >> sounds racy.

>> an all-night party. >> political leaders were not invited. not a political occasion. john major looked after diana's money when she died and was the guardian of the money. >> it was put in trust. >> yes. he ran there. he's been a great supporter of harry growing up. we're not expecting many others. >> he's with a stick. >> i saw about fergie last night that harry's very close to her. not just the daughters, to her, as well. the princes are quiet, but they're close to the spencers still and the people they care about. an indication that the queen an. >> prince harry was 36 i guess when they got engaged to meghan markle which is the age diai do age diana got married --

>> meghan was 36. when you think that meghan is the age that diana was when she died -- >> princess diana was 19 when she married prince charles. >> much better equipped to handle it, as well. williams and james corden mingling in the crowds. >> idris alba and amal clooney. stilly mccart -- stella mccartney. >> they were introduced, and amal passed on all of her contacts for glam. there was a controversy about her hairdresser. the hairdresser claimed to do the wedding and then said it was not true. then saying he was on his way to windsor. i think amal's hairdresser is doing the royal hairdo. >> meghan's friends are important. she didn't choose a maid of

honor. she has such a tight group of girlfriends she didn't want to single one out. we'll see her surrounded by bridesmaids gone rogue. >> she's fiercely loyal. priyanka chopra, they met at a magazine event, and serena williams, they met at a game. >> and the chapel, the place she'll be departing from with her mom. we'll see the bride's dress in a matter of minutes, all ahead. stay with us. the more your wellbeing can get left behind. but there's a place that doesn't come with that compromise. a place designed to help you be your best. welcome to westin. where you're given a choice not just to get up ♪ but to rise. ♪

you're looking at clifton house, where meghan markle spent the night with her mom who just met the queen the other day for the first time. her mother's going to be driving with her to st. george's chapel. there's a lot of action as we count down to the wedding service. royal family members started arriving about 25 past the hour. prince harry will show up about 40 minutes past the hour with his best man, prince william. and of course, we know that meghan markle will be -- will be walking down the -- through the nave by herself and will be walked the rest of the way by prince charles. >> prince charles will escort her, yes. he's not giving her away. he's going to be escorting her almost to the altar, and she will step out to join prince

harry herself. a long walk to do alone. i think meghan is confident of herself. to know harry's waiting at the other end is completely wonderful. i think the moment is between prince charles and harry. he's often maligned for being a cold father and not close to his sons, that's simply not true -- >> serena williams. >> in the choir. and i think prince charles escorting his daughter-in-law down the aisle will be amazing. >> the challenge will be the train on this dress. both kate and diana had someone helping, and meghan will not. >> george and amal clooney. >> good seats. >> remarkable history. st. george's chapel, centuries of history. former leaders, former kings of england buried, ashes there. >> george clooney is sitting in a seat.

this is the highest form of chivalry. each is related to a knight. >> absolutely. >> the plates behind -- fergie again. the plates behind symbolize each one of the knights. william was the 1,000th night. fergie has a seat -- a massive story for royalty. a rift -- >> the fact that she was given a good seat? >> yeah. that she was invited at all, but that she was given a good sight. >> as max said, each of the places in the chapel are continue. this is the garter chapel. a prestigious seat. if she's in there, it's a big heal. >> harry would have had to ask about that to the queen. she would have said yes. that's a huge thing unless she's about to walk out.

it's huge. if fergie did what she did now, would the queen be more forgiving? what's happened happened quickly. what surprised me is how the family rallied around thomas markle. they -- they gave whatever support they could. they ran me and other reporters up to say the media has to give him space. in the past, they would have ostracized him. that's exactly what they did to fergie. >> the royal family would have? >> yeah. they would have said we don't want him at the wedding. you think? >> absolutely. fergie wouldn't hav-- wouldn't e been invited. prince andrew was away, she was photographed inflagrante with a businessman. it was at the height of -- >> i love the way you say it. >> i didn't know -- can i say it? >> i think this is basic cable, you can see anything. >> it was deeply embarrassing. one snafu after another. the royal family stepped back,

they done want to know her. it's been incredibly difficult for beatrice and eugenie. they had to step back. the fact that she is in the choir is huge. those are the only seats that will be able to see anything. >> all those people won't be able to see? >> no, they can't. they can hear it. watching at home you have a better view. >> yes, this is the last silent view of the royal family. when you know the code, you know what they're saying. >> when you know the code? >> when you know the code, you know what they're saying. >> the code of where you're seated? >> exactly. the code of the door -- you come in as an american, you walk in first -- >> even meghan markle, that's one of the things she has had to learn. i know at one point she walked into a room before prince harry, and that was a story. >> this is what i'm trying to say, after the lights come down

and the confetti's picked up, she's going to have to navigate all of those things from people who are twice as old as her and expect her to know those things. >> it's interesting what you said about seating. sitting next to serena is abigail spencer, one of the members of "suits." she's the only one there while everybody else is in the nave. i think it speaks to more of a personal friendship. >> she will be hated by all the other cast members of "suits." >> meghan invited 25 cast members. >> we're one minute away from meghan markle leaving the hotel where she is going to get into the vehicle with her mother, doria. meghan markle spent the night in the hotel. it was closed down for her. prince harry and prince william showed up unexpectedly to greet the crowds yesterday, seemingly relaxed. that is going to be the scene.

all eyes around the world watching to get a sense of what meghan markle is wearing, how she looks on this -- clearly the most important day of her life. >> the lesson here -- look how far the camera is. >> exactly. >> and kate stayed -- >> sarah burnham -- >> the dress and the shoes -- >> this is how eager the cameraman is working. >> the carriage will go in front of the steps, to slip in. >> we did not see stella mccartney. >> they will only announce the dress as she steps out of the chapel. they're keen that the secret is kept. >> literally when people at home see her stepping out, they'll send out the tweet? fascinating. >> we'll get endless information -- we'll get a complete sense of it. >> max's phone will ring. >> the editors say the one thing

you can't do is have your phone on. >> that's the thing that could happen -- >> another interesting thing. asked about kate and meghan's relationship. they're very different characters. kate's straightlaced. she's not -- how to say this? english girl -- meghan is this charismatic, cool, amazing -- >> very warm. >> yes. i wanted to know about the relationship. i was told, look, there's two people in the world that know what that position is to be in, and it's meghan and, and it's kate. they live next door to each other. they'll be working closely together. she's been a -- they've been characters professionally. >> once meghan markle leaves the hotel where she's been with her mom, explain to viewers the order of events here.

>> the car will drive -- >> the car will drive, but a nine-mile drive. that the drive, and the car will come past here. w we will get our first glimpse on the way to windsor castle. this is prince michael -- she caused huge controversy at christmas for wearing -- >> that was horrible. >> the broach that had huge racist tendencies associated to it. >> she issued a public apology. >> does he a-- she did, and rightfully see. she wore it to the queen's lunch. >> she was wearing a broach? >> what we would call in america a black sambo broach as big as her chest practically. she got out of the car. it was -- tell it like it is, it was shocking. >> princess anne's family. omet sng that she wouldn't realizehe implications of -- >> why would you wear a black sambo -- it's not like a fashion piece. what was that about? >> thoughtless.

>> thank you. it was shut down quite quickly. that was ugly. >> phillip and autumn, they got married at st. george's chapel. they had their wedding -- and zara, married to mike tyndall. the other cousins kind of -- >> classism in full force. >> so some -- some of the royals are referred to as minor royals? >> minor royals. the ones that aren't the working members of the royal family. >> they're minor, they're about to be kicked out of the house by prince harry and meghan markle. that's the rumor. >> what do the minor royals do? >> coaches -- >> some do do engagements on behalf of the queen. her -- do some have vob-- have jobs? >> yes. they do a lot of public work. it doesn't get covered.

>> princess -- princess anne. and eugenie. >> and beatre who we the fascinator to prince william's wedding. >> the pretzel hat. >> i should say -- >> meghan markle there -- >> here we go. >> getting into the royal rolls royce. >> here she comes. >> she got in in a way that no cameras could get. >> smart. >> this is the first glimpse of the dress. >> a big veil. >> very bill. >> she's with her mommy. >> what an amazing drive for these two ladies to take. >> what a test of the cameraman, as well. >> look at the hat -- >> wonderful. [ applause ] >> the tiara -- >> the french tiara? >> it looks like a smaller --

>> not the spencer tiara. >> i can tell you more now that we've seen it. i was holding off. the tiara is not the spencer tiara. it is one of the queen's tiaras, i can't say which one. there's a lovely story. and this speaks to the queen's relationship with meghan. this is that meghan was invited into buckingham palace for the wedding, and the queen presented her with a range of tiaras and said, choose one. >> there had been a lot of discussion of would it be a tiara from the queen, would it be from the spencer family, perhaps even a tiara that princess diana wore and had not been worn since her wedding. >> i think there are lots of nods to diana. i think this is something the queen could do for her, a message from the queen. that meghan markle is embraced into the family. >> and doria markle is wearing white, as well. >> if the queen offers to loan you a tee air a fra-- tiara, yo

don't. diana did. this speaks volumes about how the queen feels about meghan. she wouldn't choose to wear the spencer because there are so many ways in her royal life that she'll be compared to somebody else. this is meghan's day where she stands alone. an individual moment. she should be enough just herself. i think with the first glimpse in the car, it's much more conservative than kate's dress. it had a higher neck, the sleeves and covered shoulders. it didn't feel like it had a lot of embellishment and/or lace. >> interesting because kate is much more conservative than meghan. >> and meghan is more fashion forward in a different way. i think that she is going to follow tradition. have something classic and simple. she understand a dress having to stand the test of time. i think tonight she will be in a dr dress much more glamorous and glitzy. >> she's from the theater.

she has a strong sense of occasion and place much she's aware of it. >> we should point out. this is a pool feed of cameras that we're not controlling. we don't get images of the vehicle, but we will get it as soon as it gets on to that -- what's called the long walk. obviously, we'll start to show it again. >> we'll see it. >> we'll take a quick break. just got a peek at the bride. we'll get a full look. more when we come back. ♪ i just want you close, ♪ where you can stay forever. ♪ you can be sure ♪ that it will only get better ♪ you and me together ♪ through the days and nights. ♪ i don't worry 'cause ♪ everything's gonna be all right. ♪ ♪ no one, no one, no one

welcome back, everyone. moments ago we got our first glimpse of meghan markle, the bride-to-be, as she set off toward windsor castle. there she is. that was the fleeting look, but there are more. luckily the pool cameras are set up along the route so we get many different glimpses. what did you see through the sfwhoind. >> -- through the window? >> i was able to see a very different neckline. something high up on the neck, a sleeve, simple. not a lot of embellishment which

to me says the rumors of the beaded russo might be wrong. could be a stella mccartney. clearly she's going simple on the bodice. she doesn't have the deep v that kate had. and the tiara is interesting. i'm trying to use my tiara knowledge. i can't make out what this is. it's clearly not the spencer, i don't believe, because it's too small. not the fringe, what the queen wore at her wedding. it could be the strathmore rose or a whole new piece of jewelry. we're not sure. >> doesn't look like the cambridge lovers knot each. what diana lovers were hoping for. the cambridge is possible -- i think it's ornate and diamonte. >> the choir, a much more intimate part of the chapel. the seat is opposite each other instead of in front of each other. what you're looking at, not the minor royals because you have

prince edward, wes e-- wessex, his wife there. that's the younger choir. >> beautiful. >> that's the part where prince charles will greet -- what you're looking at is where prince charles would greet meghan markle and walk her to the front. >> uh-huh. and so, tell us what you see when you peeked through the window there was that rolls royce. >> i think she looks innocent. i think there's a softness about the veil that makes her look pure. and i think this is a way of coming into the family where you start afresh and your life begins now. she likes to wear things that are symbolic. i was moved by that. it's not "here i am," it's gently go as you go. >> i can't see. >> your pears of perception

through the window are not as attuned as we think. >> beautiful. we can see that she looks absolutely radiant. she and her mother. her mother looks to be in cream, so happy. looks like a cream or ivory dress, not stark white like kate. you could see how delighted and happy they were. i think we'll have a radiant bride full of joy. >> the headlines when her mom arrived about the gold nose ring that her mom wears in her nose. i wonder if she stuck it in for the wedding day. >> we shall see. everyone, stand by. the wedding ceremony begins soon. we will see the bride and groom arrive here in windsor in a moment. stay with us. we'll be right back.

just take a look at these crowds. thousands and thousands of people lining the street in windsor, england. so many people eagerly awaiting prince harry and meghan markle on their wedding day. i'm alisyn camerota, i'm on the grounds of windsor castle on the banks of the thames. >> anderson cooler. we expect to see the bride and groom soon. they are making their way separately, of course, to the chapel. passing many well wishers along the way. we'll give you a sense of what you'll see. meghan markle with a glimpse of her mother, doria markle, in the rolls royce as they left the hotel where they stayed last night. what you won't see actually is the mother, doria, is going to leave the vehicle. some of the children who are the -- what do you --

>> attendants. >> bridesmaids. >> and page boys, sorry. they are going to get in the vehicle with her. the next time i'm told you'll see her in the rolls royce, there will be children in it. doria markle won't be in. the ethics children-- the next arriving, and the next to the chapel are prince william and prince harry followed by prince charles and camilla. >> yep. duchess of cornwall. the queen and prince philip, harry, meghan. >> i was told that doria goes before the queen. >> the bride will be last today. >> i think that's true. i think she's literally in front of meghan's car. we'll see. i think on this occasion -- >> we'll make a wager. >> okay. i can't afford your bets, throw. >> you know who i'm excited to see, though, walking down the aisle -- prince philip. he's 96. he'll be 97 on june 10th.

he had hip surgery last month. people weren't sure if he would be able to attend. he's very close to prince harry. there's no way he would skip this day. the recuperation and rehabilitation would be done to make sure he could walk unaided down the aisle. it may be slow, but he'll be there. >> and the queen, the longest serving monarch in british history. >> 66 years this year. >> it will be -- >> the 65th anniversary -- the oldest serving and longest serving british monarch. >> and prince charles the longest serving heir. he's really owned the prince of wales title. you know, it's been a struggle for him to be accepted. much more opinionated than the queen. >> i'm not sure if this -- there they are. >> ah. >> and prince william. >> looking great. and of course, a lot of people speculated that harry would not be in uniform because he's no longer serving. >> with the beard. >> and with the beard.

>> the internet can calm down. >> meghan clearly likes the beard or it would have been gone. this goes to show how proud harry is of his military connections, backgrounds. ev everything he's done for invictus. >> he served ten years in the military, two tours in afghanistan. >> that's right. yes. he rose to the rank of captain. i not he's very proud to be wearing the uniform. >> nick watt, you have information about what prince harry is wearing? >> prince harry was just in december of last year, made the captain general of the royal marines. so that is his most senior military title, as you mentioned. he is -- he was in the blues and royals, served in afghanistan two terms. he now has this honorary role from his 96-year-old grandfather, prince philip, in november. prince harry has said that he often feels he is more captain wales, more a military man than he is a royal.

this is a reflection of that. him and his brother walking in proudly wearing their uniforms. back to you. >> interesting because harry had to get permission from the queen to wear the uniform. she gave the permission. he chose it, and there he is. he had a range of uniforms he could have chosen. the cavalry one, what he wore to prince william's wedding. trying to wear different uniforms to different weddings. >> is it against protocol with the beard? >> normally in the military you couldn't have the beard. this is an honorary position he holds today. there are exceptions to the rule, and harry being who he was, it was a given. he did take on the role in december. a role that prince philip held for many times. i think this is a nice tribute to prince philip. >> i believe the beard might be a small thing or silly thing that the internet was debating about. it really goes to show that i think they just want to uphold

what they want to do. tradition aside. >> you'll notice, as well, if you look closely, prince william is also wearing the garter style. he is a knight of garter, unlike harry. this is his spiritual home. >> the horseshoe. >> yeah, this is -- you see there various members of the public there. that is the hot ticket for members of the public. once the wedding is over, harry and meghan will walk down the steps and meet those people. >> some believe that may be where they have their first kiss. >> at the top of the stairs. they'll be waved off by the family in their carriages. i think when you see these guys walking up the steps, spare a thought for meghan markle -- >> in heels. >> many of the public who were in the horseshoe, those people work for various charities which she and the royal family -- >> yes, if you study them, they are the charities and causes that they continue to support and will define the future of the royal roles. this is a dean of the chapel.

he -- i think it was described earlier by someone that this is for the royal peculiar. this church operates outside the church of england system. and the dean reports directly to the queen. this is her church and a personal church to her, the church she most often attends. >> let's listen in to -- to inside. ♪ [ bells ] ♪ >> this is -- look at this moment. i mean, i just -- can somebody hand me the box of hankies that i forgot? this is so poignant to me, these two brothers who we saw on the national stage be heartbroken, now as handsome young men in this heartwarming moment

together. the solidarity of the brothers walking down the aisle for all to see. and william supporting harry. it's so poignant to me, richard quest. >> what you're looking at, that's the nave. the walk he's just done is the walk that meghan markle will do on her own. and then as they go into the choir, that is where she will be joined by the prince of wales, prince charles. we're now waiting for the senior members of the royal family. and the next to arrive should be prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. they are the next, due to arrive at about 11:42. if i'm not mistaken, it's probably 11:42 now. >> here they come. >> this is going to happen like clockwork. >> when william was getting married, harry decided -- he had to save his attentions, he was nervous and slept for half an hour. he decided to walk slowly down the aisle and nip in to a small

room on the left. he didn't want him to have to wait for kate to come. he thought that would be too stressful. that's what he did. he cracked jokes, he calmed him. >> aw. >> when he heard that kate was coming, whispered in her ear, out they came. i'm wondering, we didn't see that. i'm wondering if william did the same for harry. >> just seeing the brothers together -- we know the heartbreak they suffered with their mother's death and seeing their support for each other. >> very close. emotional. and now to dispense with the stiff upper lip, they hug a lot, harry said to me. they're very demonstrative of their affection for each other which would not have happened a decade or so earlier. >> incredible, the royal wedding. to think that we're not going to see a royal wedding like this for another 20 or 30 years until george or charlotte get married. the queen loves a wedding. this is poignant. it probably will be her last wedding. we won't see another for so long. this pageantry, pomp, and the

wonderful vision of the brothers. >> the long walk, this is after the ceremony and service. the couple will take their procession in the open rolls ask on the -- we're coming up to 11:42 as you see. it is the car that's carrying the royal highnesses, the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. they will arrive at the porch as others have arrived and will be greeted by the vice dean who will then, of course, escort them in. this is, in other words, put in language, you're looking at the fathers of the groom and his -- the father of the groom and his stepmother. >> prince charles and camilla parker bowles. this is carefully orchestrated. you said 11:42. it is 11:41.

in one minute they will arrive. >> at 11:45, doria markle, mother of the bride, is due to arrive. the car -- we haven't seen it, by the way. the car carrying meghan and her ther -- we saw it leave, we didn't see it arrive. that's where it's going to drop off her mother three minutes after they arrive. at 11:52, the queen will arrive -- >> and she's wearing amazing colors since turning 90. >> yellow, tangerine. book essaying blue. >> blue. >> she wore yellow -- >> she wore blue for diana's wedding. she wore blue, the queen mother wore blue, princess margaret wore blue. >> hot pink. >> hot pink, yellow, the color -- >> music that we are enjoying is a selection from the suite from

"fantasia" by " gregreensleeves" and strings -- >> english music. >> completely. the music gets really interesting later on, by the way. >> we understand that harry and meghan have been instrumental -- no pun intended -- in picking the music. they have put their touch on the ceremony from start to finish. the music in particular, they were interested in -- >> especially with prince charles. he must have delighted. apparently they talked to him about what he felt was appropriate and took from previous marriages. they tried to balance that. then there's the gospel choir. there's the english now and will get more american -- >> the timing, the orchestration, the management of this event. it is literally going to go timed perfect. meghan markle is on her way now

to -- >> can't wait. >> going back to that glimpse of the tiara, i'm guessing it's a new piece. >> what makes you think that? >> it didn't look familiar to me. by process of elimination, i don't think it's one that we've seen before. >> you have a great knowledge of tiaras, i feel. you could tell from one gem through the window what you think it is. >> some are distinct. the fringe is a lot of vertical bars. the lotus has a peak at the top. there are lots of different ways to establish -- strath momore ha different look. >> hold that thought, everyone. the bride is about to go right past anderson's location. we will want to know what anderson can see through the window. give us your perspective. >> we're basically on the long

walk. just over my left shoulder there. and we're told that the car carrying meghan markle is going to be coming by shortly. i can tell you, there are thousands of people -- >> here comes the police. that means it's coming. that means it is. >> one of the police, the motorcycle out rider from where we are now. there are people who have been waiting a very long time. >> the outriders, yes. >> starting to wave a lot of the flags. all eyes -- >> they're going to erupt. you wait. it's going to be like a volcano erupting down the long walk. >> let's listen in actually. [ cheers ] >> amazing. >> the british about to go crazy. >> now you see them. >> a really good view.

>> oh, yeah. doria markle, the mother is not in white. it looks like -- >> mint green. >> mint green? doria ragland, i'm sorry. >> what's happening here? >> here she is, the vehicle coming on what's known as the long walk. approaching st. george's chapel, approaching windsor castle. extraordinary site. thousands and thousands of people. an incredible sight. >> you know, this is interesting because there were polls last week saying a vast portion of the country doesn't care, they're not interested. and there are also going to be people here -- when you look at the crowd and unifying presence of the royal family, the countries come together, they're proudly waving their flags. a party atmosphere out there. it's an amazing thing to witness. >> i think it's also for me the story -- this is the story of the crowd. these people, some of them, i

met the other day. they've been there for a long time. [ cheers ] and they're people who are really, really dedicated to this family. it's an amazing medieval thing, a strange thing to see. >> and so radiant driving by in the car. i know earlier we said that doria was wearing white. i actually think she's wearing mint green. i'm going to guess that i think her hat was made by jones -- >> who? >> i'm guessing on that. >> i want to make a sort of symbolic moment here. just think about the moment as she drives through the gates. she's driving to the palace as a single woman. she's going to commue out of th palace as a duchess, countless, and the baroness, technically a princess. there you go. that's a huge moment. she leaves the public now. she's now in the royal fold. >> and her life will never be the same. >> never be the same again. >> and that extraordinary entrance says it all, doesn't it?

this is the grandest, most beautiful of the palaces. buckingham palace doesn't compare. you agree, don't you? >> buckingham palace is a glorified hovers pa-- glorified office park. this is loaded with family members. loaded with rich, royal history. an amazing backdrop for the royal union. you see where harry and meghan chose it. i was worried thinking how will windsor cope with the sheer numbers that will attend. you can see why -- >> a rare glimpse into the private quarters. >> the state department. >> that is where the public aren't normally allowed -- this is where the public are normally allowed, farther down the chapel, down the hill. >> and prince harry inside with prince william, his best man. eagerly awaiting the crowd. >> the cameras looking at him, and he stopped talking. >> a little nervous perhaps. >> of course. >> the two, i think they're such -- throughout the country, throughout great britain, the

people have watched these young men grow up. >> there's a tremendous affection for the men. i think they embody the best qualities of both parents. diana gave him the common touch. she introduced them to a world not as privileged to theirs, make them understand the position they hold. she took them to the high street and did theme parks and restaurants. charles gave them other side, the rich country life they enjoy. conservation, fishing. they're really sort of an even match of both parents. they share a type -- kate and meghan are the only two who know what it's like to be them. these are the only two nwho kno what they've experienced -- >> this is where meghan will walk from the nave to the choir. and harry and william are up on the right near the altar. you're going to see when this -- when this transpires that charles will walk her and hand over effectively to harry. she's giving herself away,

anderson, which hasn't really been we don't think in a royal wedding before. she's going out of her way to make a statement. it's what she wants and the kind of person that she is. these two guys, imagine the chats, the nerves. >> st. george's chapel is where harry was baptized. >> yes, it is. yes, it is. it's where he was christened. there's a lot of rich family history here. and close family in recent years have been interred here. the queen's parents and grandparents, great grandparents, the ashes of her sister, princess margaret. it's -- of course, a large chapel. some think it's ridiculous it's called a chapel because of how large it seems. it's an intimate setting and feels intimate for the family wedding, one shared with the entire planet. >> also the bond between the two brothers that prince harry has talked publicly about. and both have talked publicly about. obviously the impact of their mother's death when they were so young. and it really changed prince harry tremendously. perhaps even more than william. >> it was extraordinary actually

last year in particular how open they were on behalf of their mental health campaign. harry said it was william that encouraged him to seek counseling. the fact that harry shared deeply personal stories -- we haven't seen royals speak publicly about that. to see that prince harry struggled, that takes away the taboo. makes it okay to seek guidance. >> it's interesting about the military uniforms. both are deeply wedded to the military, but william wasn't allowed to the front lines but harry was. indirectly he's the spare heir. not the direct line -- >> he's sixth in line to the throne. >> after louis. and he will keep going down the line. what i will say is what you've got here i would call a coat monarchy -- that's a bold thing to say, but they're slimming down two just those two. there's a deal between them. that harry will support william

in something that he feels is a huge burden, that he's going to do. this isn't just the number two to him. this is the monarchy going forward. to the back, meghan will, too. >> we believe this is prince charles and the duchess of cornwall arriving. >> it's interesting that prince charles will take meghan down the last part of the aisle. i was asking abt th symbolism. they said s aimplethe's him welcoming her -ply that it's him welcoming her to the royal family. he's going to take her in. that's an honor for both of them. i think they both see it that way. >> i think it's a beautiful way to show -- >> meghan markle's mother. >> you're right. >> beautiful. mint green. >> pale mint green. >> pale green. >> there's been criticism. meghan has faced horrendous vitriol and abuse and people

saying she shouldn't be marrying into the royal family. i think charles walking her in, you get no final seal of approval of how much the royal team are keen to welcome her in. i think she's hit the ground running and got to take part in so many engagements already. >> we know the order where -- miss ragland is in there. we know the order will be charles and camilla will go in next, then the queen and philip, then meghan and two page boys. behind her will be cars with the other page boys and flower girls and their mothers, including the duchess of cambridge. tricky job -- >> chaos reigns. >> chaos reigns. there have been a couple of rehearsals, but none have worked because of the kids. have you seen the 2-year-old climb up the steps, anderson? >> i have not. >> i've met charles a couple of times through the trust. the fact that he's walking her down the aisle doesn't prize --

doesn't surprise me at all. >> what do you think? >> i think she looks fabulous. look at that hat. there's such a love for camilla, i think. >> i'm glad you say that. a lot of people are critical because of the narrative. i spent time with her at balmoral, i did her first tv interview. it doesn't come across on tv, but she's got an amazing charisma. she's the one royal that will come up to the press pack and say hi. >> there's the queen. >> there she is. >> is she in green or yellow? >> pale green. she's in pale green. leafy green. >> some say i have to be seen to be believed. she's in bold color because obviously she's quite little. that's the way she'll be seen by the most people. she wears it well. >> a lot of bright colors or blush pink. like the duchess of cornwall, serena williams, priyanka chopra. >> amazing to see prince philip by her side, the oldest serving

consort in british history. he'll be with her, two steps behind every step of the way. lovely that he could make it today. >> interesting. i've learned a bit in windsor. he runs things behind the scenes. he runs the castle, the estates. makes a lot of decisions behind the scenes. the deal is that he's behind her out in public. i think that's fascinating. meghan will have to get her head around that, as well. she's going to have to step back behi har sometimes but also i d the queen are in green. i wore it -- >> clearly you got the memo. >> i got the memo. interesting. generally that's what it -- >> the steps. >> look at him walking. you would never think this man had had hip surgery a month ago. he's 96 years old. >> wow. >> okay, the show is on, guys.

it's on. >> here they come. >> here they come. >> and this is the arrival of the bride. so many waiting for so long. >> impeccable royal timing, of course. >> absolutely right. to the minute. >> the coordination of this is extraordinary. >> it is, yes. >> again, those people work for many of the charities that prince harry and meghan markle are working for, bridesmaids, page boys arriving. >> look at the baby. >> look at those little faces. >> the little faces. >> waving. >> adorable. >> they haven't had too many lollipops. >> prince george will be among them, princess charlotte, as well. >> and three grandchildren of the former canadian prime minister, brian mulroney. quite a -- >> and meghan's friend, a mix of people who are personal. >> five representatives of each

and wife may know the grace of god. it is given that as man and woman grow together in love and trust they shall be united with one another in heart, body, and mind as christ is united with his bride, the church. the gift of marriage brings husband and wife together in the delight and tenderness of sexual union and joyful commitment to the end of their lives. it's given as the foundation of family life in which children 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 that 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 will each give their consent to the other and make solemn vows and in token of this, they will each give and receive a ring. we pray with them that the holy

spirit will guide and strengthen them, that they may fulfill god's purposes for the whole of their earthly life together. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> my beloved speaks and says to me, "arise my love, my fair one, and come away, for now the winter is passed, the rain is over and gone. the flowers appear on the earth. the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. the fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines are in blossom. 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 as strong as death, passion fierce as the grave, its

life-giving god, father, son, and holy spirit, amen. from the psalm of solomon in the bible. set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is as strong as death, passion, fierce as the grave, its flashes are flashes of fire, the raging flames, many walkers 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 wor world. for love, love is the only way. there's power in love. don't underestimate it. don't even oversentimentalize it. 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. this power, power in love, not just in its romantic forms, 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. we were made by a power of love, and our lives were meant and are meant to be lived in love. that's why we are here. ultimately the source of love is god itself, the source of all of our lives. there's no medieval poem -- there's a medieval poem that says where love is found, god is there. the new testament says is this w way -- beloved, let us love one another. those who love are born of god.

and 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 upon your heart, a seal on your arm, for love, it's as strong as death. but love is not only about a young couple. now the power of love is demonstrated that we're all here. two people fell in love, and we

all showed up. it's not just for and about a young couple who we rejoice with. 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 shall love the lord god with all your heart, all your love, and all your strength. this is the first great commandment. the second is, like it, love your neighbor as yourself. in matthew's version, he added, he said, on these two love of god and love of neighbor hang all the law, all the prophets, everything that moses wrote, everything in the holy prophets, everything in the scriptures, everything that god has been trying to tell the world love god, love your neighbors. and while you're at it, love

yourself. no, someone once said that jesus began the 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 the power, real power. power to change the world. if you don't believe me, well, there were some old slaves in america's antebellum south who explained the dynamic power of

love and why it has the power to transform. they explained it this way -- they sang a spiritual even in midst of their captivity. it's one that says there is a balm in gillead, a healing balm, a balm in gillead to make the wounded hold. there is a balm in guilliaillea heal the soul. one said 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. oh, that's the psalm in gillead. this way of love is the way of life. they got it. he died to save us all. he's -- he didn't die for anything he could get out of it. jo jesus did not get an honorary 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 the good of the

other, for the well-being of the world, for us. that's what love is. love is not selfish and self-centered. love can be sacrificial. and in so doing, becomes redemptive redemptive. and that way of unselfish sacrificial, redemptive love changes lives, and it can change this world. if you don't believe me, just stop and think, imagine, think and imagine. well, 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 governments and nations where love is the way. imagine business and commerce when love is the way. imagine this tired old world when love is -- is the way, when love is the way, unselfish, sacrificial, redemptive, when love is the way. then no child would go to bed hungry in this world ever again. when love is the way, we will let justice roll down like a mighty stream and righteousness like an ever-flowing brook. when love is the way, poverty will become history. when love is the way, the earth will be a sanctuary. when love is the way, we will lay down our swords and shields down by the riverside to study

war no more. when love is the way, there's plenty good room, plenty good room for all of god's children. because 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 of us all, and we are brothers and sisters, children of god. our brothers and sisters, that's a new heaven, a new earth, a new world, a new human family.

and let me tell you something you, old solomon was right in the old testament. that's fire. they are -- with this, i will sit down. we've got to get you all married. french guejesuit desjardins wase of the great roman catholic priests of the century, a scientist, a scholar, a mystic. in some of his writings, see said from -- he said from his backgrounds, in his writings he said that the discovery or 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 in its time. fire made it possible to heat warm environments and, thereby, made human migration around the world a possibility, even into colder climates. fire made it possible, there was no bronze age without fire. no iron age without fire. no industrial revolution without fire. the advances of science and technology are 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'm guessing. i know there were some carriages. those of white house came in cars, fire, the control harnessed fire. i know that the bible said, i believe that jesus walked on

the water. i have to tell you i didn't walk across the atlantic ocean to get here. controlled fire in that plane got me here. fire makes it possible for us to text and tweet and e-mail and instagram and facebook and socially be dysfunctional with each other. [ laughter ] fire makes all of that possible, and desjardins said fire was one of the greatest discoveryies in all of human history. he then went on to say that if humanity ever harnesses the energy of fire again, if humanity ever captures the energy of love, it will be the second time in history that we have discovered fire. dr. king was right, we must discover love, 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. ♪

>> princess charlotte waving as meghan markle and prince harry, duke and duchess of sussex, begin their procession. the military regiments, which have a personal association with prince harry. just in terms of that ceremony that we saw, i've never seen anything like that, certainly in a ceremony for a royal family. to have a gospel choir singing "this little light of mine" as they depart to "stand by me". >> to hear a preacher from my hometown of chicago preach in this royal personal chapel of the queen is a moment that is not describable. and that they did it is -- these people allowed it to happen is quite amazing. and it's a signal, as well as a

friend of mine reverend rose wilkins preaching as well, this is a signal this is a new day. whether it will happen is another thing. but the royal family has said, we're ready to make a change. it's over to you, people. it's wonderful. it's just indescribable. >> if there was any question about meghan markle bringing some change to the royal family, this ceremony certainly was the beginning of some change. >> well, she did it in a way that was incredibly bold. it wasn't a sort of tiptoey gesture. she actually -- i was going to use the word colored -- but she changed the tenor of that ceremony completely. she had people sitting there who had never heard that music before in a church like this. she's already made her mark as well as wearing a dress created by the first woman of the house of givenchy, a huge couturier.

she's doing things in a bold and subtle way. i'm quite impressed with her. >> we're joined by harvey young, meghan's northwestern professor, knew her from university. harvey, i'm wondering what you thought of that service just in terms of the change that bonnie was speaking about. >> oh, absolutely. it was an extraordinary ceremony. if you think about the fact that meghan has written about this, about her mother being subject to racial slurs and meghan witnessing that, her mother being called -- or recognized as a nanny when meghan was a kid. when meghan talks about the need to embrace all of who she is as a biracial woman, it's to celebrate her blackness as well as her whiteness. you saw that on display with michael curry, who was born in chicago but grew up in buffalo. my great aunt, went to his church, actually. that episcopal service is one that brings together everyone

across lines of race and division and class and health and wealth. you saw that. i think that you saw an example of sort of black virtuosity. it was wonderful. meghan should be proud of the ceremony. >> is it what you expected, harvey, from meghan, that she would bring this and so quickly to the family? >> absolutely. i mean, meghan is -- she's an adult. i mean, she is a self-confident, self-possessed woman who knows what she wants. she's a feminist, a crusader for women's rights, she believes in conversations about race and equality. you saw that from her public statements on her own platform in the public spotlight. the fact she uses this stage, this spotlight to amplify those causes that she believes in, i'm not surprised at all.

>> it's -- nick watt, i think the procession is coming your way, yes? >> the procession is passing us right now. those four windsor greys, that ascot landau carriage that is open. thank goodness the weather is good today. they had the scottish state coach on standby in case it was raining. this gives us a much better view. it's called the ascot landau because the queen rides in it so the races. harry rode in it back from william's wedding. he and his new -- those horses are sir basel, tyrone and storm. they are about to go out into the public. remember, this wedding took place inside the castle. castle have high walls. they're about to go out to the public right now.

>> there's 100 carriages, i believe, in the -- >> in the royal meuws. >> in the royal mews. they're holding hands, as they did throughout the ceremony. harry apparently said to her when he came -- first came into contact with her said that, i believe the words were, you look lovely. i missed you. you look amazing. i missed you. >> at the end of the day, it's a wedding, two people in love. all the setting really adds to it. but, you know, two emotional moments were when he caught sight of his bride. also when doria ragland caught sight of her daughter. two key moments. as bonnie said, as much as this has done for the public, i think it's done as much, if not more, for the royal family. none of this happens without the permission of the queen. i don't think she's been that involved but she's basically said, you can do what you want. so, when i asked the palace about whether this is a feminist move on behalf of meghan, they

said, well, she's just trying to be herself. you can't imagine how difficult that is in that system to be yourself. >> the carriage is coming your way, or passing by you, yes? >> it is. >> there's queen victoria standing at the top. >> you should be able to hear the crowds as it is -- as the crowd takes up the cries of celebration. it is really quite something to be here, standing about ten deep on the sidewalk and seeing the procession as it comes by. the new royal couple. you can hear the cheering. and that open carriage. and this is really what they have been waiting for. i have been here for hours and people just wanted that shot. they wanted to see meghan as the new royal, with her new husband. they wanted to celebrate this moment. harry and meghan had said ahead of the wedding they wanted people to feel this was part of their celebration. they wanted them to feel part of

this wedding day. so, getting to see them in the carriage, getting to see them go by is very much part of that. you know, there's talk of harry's mother being the people's princess and there is a feeling amongst the people i've spoken to here today that meghan will be the next incarnation, if you will, of the people's princess. they have taken her to heart. and seeing her in that open carriage, is such a treat. such a treat. a beautiful scene. a beautiful day. and just a day to celebrate. celebrate love and to celebrate the royal family. anderson? >> there were moments during the service where it -- as the choir was singing "standed by me ed b looked like the royal family didn't know where to look or what to do. >> english church it tends to be more stage, severe in its approach, i guess. the queen is very keen to get people into church.

she's very devoight. zara phillips at one point appeared to get the giggles. that was that was part of the inclusion. i think they were thoroughly enjoying it. it was very different for them, and particularly different for a royal service because, of course, they're normally quite conservative and follow a very classical route. i think it was a nice mix today. looking at the cavalry escorting today, harry -- a number of these soldiers served with harry in afghanistan. in is how personal every element of this wedding is. a number of these men were chosen because they served with harry. it was a moment to reward them for their service, for their friendship, their camaraderieship. >> 250 members of the armed forces from regiments and units that hold a special relationship with prince harry are taking part throughout the day today. >> just a little note from the pool reporter, only one allowed into the church, which is a bit of a controversy, but telling me

prince charles took doria's hand as they left to sign the register. >> and i think charles will make sure she's included. it's meghan's only blood relative here today. she's a member of the family as well by extension now. >> let's talk about the dress and the tiara. we'll come back. >> we have all been watching this moment, hankies in hand, watching this real-life fairytale unfold. this is an american gold of modest means. you know, she was born into parents and then they were divorced when she was quite young. this was not a silver spoon girl and she has married a prince. richard, we've been talking about the stagecraft of all this fairytale play out globally before everyone's eyes. >> you accused me of being heartless when i wasn't tearing up during the ceremony.

you know, being british, of which i'm extremely proud, i can certainly tear up watching these because this is what we do best. and what you are seeing here is the thousand-year institution that british monarchy, remember, changed its name very deliberately to the house of windsor during the time of war, deliberately to get away from the german war. they can change and shift but they do it with purpose. what we're seeing here -- look at this. the household cavalry, the mounted regiment, the ascot landau, the duke and duchess of sussex, riding through one of england's oldest royal cities, windsor. >> and windsor doesn't get more picturesque and quaint than windsor. this little town is like something out of a fairytale. >> i take issue with some of my colleagues who say that she's

modernizing the royal family. she's dragging the royal family into the -- they want to be modernized. you can't modernize somebody if they don't want it otherwise you end up with a diana situation. >> but she's a vehicle for that modernization. >> yes. >> she's the catalyst taking the bridge to that. and i think they needed that. >> and she really brings in these fresh ideas. we saw this with diana, how she revolutionized them, talking to the people. reverend curry giving that address, the fact there were intimate touches, she was holding his hand, he pushed back the veil. they are completely devoted to each other. it's important to remember the procession, the men on horseback are soldiers, brave heroes who fought so bravely for this country. >> what really interested me is that, you know, in the '90s the

royal family's popularity sunk through the floor. and here we have hundreds of thousands of people, there are crowds, the monarchy is alive and living and mod he werizing to get everyone involved. which is very heartening. >> which begs the question, god forbid once the queen passes and we have charles on the throne, at what point do we end up with a kennedy-esque, the torch has been passed to a new generation? >> isn't that happening today? i know it's not official. >> to a point. you're right. that's a -- look at this. who could not be proud to be british? >> british or american. >> yes, yes, thank you. >> speaking of american, let's go to harvey young, who was

meghan's professor at northwe northwestern. harvey, what have you thought watching this and seeing your old student and friend meghan be part of this life? >> it's amazing to think of this person who when i taught her, it was a tiny student, eight students. we sat in a small circle. she was a couple feet away from me. we just wrestled with ideas every day throughout that semester. it was wonderful. meghan is bright, smart, sophisticated, confident, a crusader for rights. you know, i think of her as this brilliant young woman who has unlimited potential. so, to see that magnified on this scale, this stage, is extraordinary. >> you know, professor, i have been studying firstf all, i find her so compelling to look at. she's obviouslybeful. t also the poise. being in front of millions and millions of people. your wedding day is stressful

any way you slice it, even if you're not on an international stage. so, she's been able to keep her poise. i wonder if you think part of it is her acting background and if she's drawing upon that? >> yeah, certainly part of it is that she has great stage presence. she knows how to be in front of people. she knows how to be in the room and to control the room and to attract attention. you know, being part -- being a theater major is not just performance. it's also knowing ritual. it's knowing history. it's being informed about tradition. it's being empathetic, to be attentive to the needs of the others. there's an ability to engage to the level of people. she can perform in front of a large number of people but she can be there with you, there for you, in the conversation. that's something the arts can give you, a theater major can give you. >> the procession is about -- go

ahead. >> confident in harry's love, i think that gives you confidence to go through a wedding feeling positive and calm at some level, that you can manage it because you have beside you somebody who's absolutely with you. and i think that's a wonderful thing to find at any age, in any situation. and he's nurtured her and looked after her. he's a very caring man. he loves to care. he loves to hug. he told me he's very passionate. he loves to love people. and she's thriving under that, too, i think. >> and she has perfected the royal wave. remember the royal wave is a very little -- just from the wrist. you don't want to get too enthusiastic about it. >> little charlotte. there's charlotte. >> as you watch the duchess of sussex, she's perfected it. >> i feel she's put her own signature on the royal wave. they're about to turn onto the long walk, as it's called. that's where anderson's position is. it's that pebbled pathway as

they go down. anderson? >> we got a wave. we got it. >> please tell me you got it. >> i just got to tell you -- >> i want a picture. >> yeah, we got a wave. >> literally passed by, i waved, he looked up and waved. >> he did, too. >> it was really -- it's fascinating to actually -- i mean, it's one thing to see it on television but for anybody that's been to london and certainly the thousands of people who are here right now, to actually see this kind of a procession as it passes you by, it's an extraordinary thing. it's something from another time. it's something, you know, for those of us from the united states, we just don't see this sort of thing. and then to actually see them in an open coach. >> and they looked up at the window and waved. >> they literally did. >> that was quite cool. >> beautiful scene going back to the castle. >> it's an amazing sight, isn't

it? >> it's the pomp and pageantry that only the british know how to do. >> you know we annoy people when we say that. >> i can't help thinking, you know, now the duke of sussex, that is his new life. he is, after the queen, the most favorite royal of those who love royals in this country. and so harry, again, is going to teach us some lessons and take us on some journeys. it's quite wonderful. >> also just the journey he has been on. >> that's what i mean, his own. >> the difficulty that he has overcome. jason carroll is on the long walk as well amongst the crowd of thousands of people. jason, have they passed you by yet? >> not just yet, anderson, but they're on their way. we have thousands of people who have been lining this roadway, waiting --

>> i think we lost jason there. in terms of what -- >> anderson, can you hear me now? >> i hear you, jason. go ahead. >> take it away! >> now you can hear me. they are about to reach where we are along the long walk. a lot of folks have been waiting all morning long, anderson. we spoke to some folks out here, the bishop speaking, they thought he was brilliant. perhaps went on too long but they felt this was something the royal family needed to hear. another highlights, seeing meghan markle get out of the carriage and -- when she had that long train, the two page boys, mulroney's twin sons.

she had a hand in picking out the dress, in just about every aspect of this wedding. her sons, the page boys. her daughter ivy, just 4 years old, participating as well. the prince got a real chance to get to know the family in toronto. that's where he got a chance to give them gifts. they call her uncle meg instead of meghan markle. this is a beautiful moment for the people who have been out here, anderson, waiting all day. now their time is just about to come as the carriage is just about to pull up. >> in terms of what she's wearing, the tiara, what are your thoughts? >> i think there's been a lot of talk about which tiara she would where. it's on lone to her from the queen from 1932 and about the

center brooch. that was a gift from queen mary, princess mary previously. she is wearing a piece of british history. that dress is -- the expression of meghan's personal style to a tee. >> how so? >> we asked, if she going to wear embroidery, something glitzy? there's so much classicness. the heavy double-bonded silk which gives her structure. that boat neckline is just enough to cover the shoulders but still reveal enough. of course, long sleeves is another tradition that's dictated but hers are three-quarters sleeves. those subtle things are helping to nudge things forward. i give her so much kudos in trying to push everything as much as she can on her big day. >> will she change now? there's going to be a reception for the 600 people, the invited guest at st. george's ha,s

it? >> yes. >> and later tonight there's a more private event for some 200 people that prince charles is giving. i assume she would change, no? >> oh, she's definitely changing. >> for tonight. >> yes, for tonight. she's definitely changing for this evening for sure. at that point i think it will be a little more glamorous, sexy and fun. it's more of a private. >> and they can dance. on the tables. >> yes. >> kate's second dress was a little more glam, off the shoulder, the shrug, the belt. you kick the glamour up tonight. >> what's so interesting about her choice of dress designer, we talked about clare waight keller being the first female director of givenchy. she's a red carpet designer, huge. the fact she used a red carpet designer from hollywood, and used a celebrity a-lister from

hollywood. and the makeup artist is her personal friend, since the beginning of "suits," for her junkets and press releases and her hairstylist is a permanent stylist to amal clooney, sarah jessica parker. it shows she's bringing hollywood to england. >> but that's where she works. that's her work environment for the last seven years. that is where she works. she didn't hide the fact that these are the people she worked with. they are incredible people. >> i'll give you an example. julia roberts, exclusive hairdresser, her favorite photographer is alexi lubomirski, who is doing the wedding photographs. and you can see where she's taking a page -- >> i remember interviewing the photographer hugo who did kate

middleton's wedding photographs and he was in tears the next day. just 15 minutes with the whole family and all of the kids. he got these sweets for the kids to try to tame them. and kate ate them all. >> what? >> yeah. true story. >> harvey young, her professor from northwestern, was talking about her history with acting and how that may come into play for her current role, her future role. a lot of this is theater. a lot of it is -- she's on -- she's going to be on display now the rest of her life. >> but i think -- sort of. she's also got to be herself, which is where the angst comes in royal life. you're not famous for your work. you're famous for who you are. that's where harry, actually, has had great success in defining his role. something like invictus, which i know in australia has gone down in an absolute storm. >> invictus games, which is something harry created. >> he got the idea from america. i was in colorado with him for

the boria games. i spoke to him after he had been there and he said, i want to take this to the uk. he did it himself and that was just phenomenal. >> games for service members who have been wounded and they had one in toronto, one in orlando. i believe the first one was in london. >> and sydney. >> sydney, australia. >> i thought when you used the word caveat, is something kate middleton learned. what the british call the glam, for this occasion is wonderful. now, will she be able to ratchet it down and do what, in a way, kate middleton has done in a sense. i mean, kate middleton does high street to a certain extent. can meghan markle do it to a certain extent because there will be criticism -- >> the frustration from magazines is kate doesn't deliver on the fashion story. they're pinning all their hopes on meghan markle. >> but only to a certain level, max. up what i'm saying. she can't have aid complete

designer wardrobe. >> i don't think that's going to happen. i actually think meghan is really atune, especially being american, to what michelle obama did during her entire eight years in the white house, speaking to americans high and low. she can wear versace and also j. crew. meghan has already done it. >> just pointing out, they re-entered castle grounds. >> this is the last time we'll see them. >> heading towards the reception. >> she's alsooing toe keen to avoid bei a clothes horse. that was diana's cross to bear. she would make the front page of the papers because of what she was wearing, not the cause she was supporting. there's a balance. we want to know what cause they're supporting. hopefully meghan will find that perfect balance that suits her and the photographers. >> i want to qualify. you were talking about earlier, but we'll see her going to the

reception, but apart from that -- i'm talking kensington palace. we won't get images from inside. >> women's wear daily, a big industry bible, has dubbed something the meghan economy. not what she has worn and websites have crashed and preorders, but designers, businesses are staying afloat because of her. a financial analyst was basically guessing she would be worth $212 million for the industry in terms of selling merchandise this year. >> the markle sparkle they called it. >> the kate effect and the markle sparkle. those are the -- >> she can really have that big of an impact? >> oh, yes. and she's worn loads and loads of canadian designers. very small brands that do not have a global appeal, but jessica mulroney put her in them and they sold out and reaching the pinnacle of having much more visibility on a world stage. >> on royals wearing fashion, tell me if i'm wrong --

>> the gurkha regiment. >> you don't pay them to wear your clothes, which is they're authentic. >> she's very smart and specific about things. i was with someone from burberry. they will said meghan was very specific about needing to wear a certain burberry black coat when she went to scotland. in a way, she understands how clothes are a message and not just fashion. >> but kate, wherever she turns up, there's a color nod to the flag, if it's the country or something you can be connected to the organization she's visiting. joe, you'll know, obviously, but there was an australian brand, a handbag designer on the verge of calling it quits and kate wore a -- >> crossbody style and sold out again. it helped reinvigorate their business. >> but she's going to work the next day. they're not going on a honeymoon. they're going to work.

and this is the mark -- this is going to be the mark of their marriage and that's a very important thing for this country at this point. >> she's a style icon for this country and also for young girls in america. >> but she's going to be a working royal. shell said immediately, i want to get my boots on the ground. so, she's ready to go. >> the royal foundation is something that's been set up by prince william and prince harry that a lot of the work they'll continue to do is under that auspices, correct? >> yes. william and harry set up, and meghan was brought in as an equal partner, as kate was before her. all of their work is equal. this is their cause. this is what they're creating. and that, i think, dare i say, is going to be where the tension is. >> yes. >> how so? >> the tension is that they have to agree. harry's already spoken there is tension. they have to compromise. he and william were brought up with that. for kate and meghan they have to find their feet with each other.

whatever we're saying about modernity today, kate has to come before meghan. she'll be queen. she'll have to speak first and meghan will have to understand that. i think there's going to be tension there. >> i'm glad you said that. i'm glad you said that. that's what i was trying to say, is that she will have to understand the curly cues of this society. there are great old families here who actually have a president next to the queen, harry's maternal family, the spencers, are very old. they're not royal but very old families. she will have to learn this etiquette, this protocol, this language quite, quite quickly. >> much of it unspoken -- >> 80% of it is unspoken. >> coming up, would elysee more of the newlywe hds as they celebrate their day with family and friends. much more to see. stay with us.

been trying to prepare for this day... and i'm still not ready. the reason i'm telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that... you'll never be ready for. your little girl getting married being one of them. ♪ ♪ ♪ i just want you close, ♪ where you can stay forever. ♪ you can be sure ♪ that it will only get better

pomp and circumstance and the kiss of this newly minted royal couple. that was one of the many magical moments that many of people around the world were waiting for. the kiss on the west steps of st. george's chapel between meghan markle, now the duchess of sussex, and prince harry. they have been in the open carriage of this procession, winding their way around the streets and little pebbled pathways of windsor here in a beautiful, beautiful moment of stagecraft all throughout windsor. just thousands and thousands of people, don lemon who i want to bring in now, camped out for

days. >> i'm lucky i got here. >> i'm sure you are. it's not easy to get through the streets because so many people have come here to turn out to watch this really beautiful -- i mean, listen, in a moment where there's lots of dark and troubling news around the globe, this is an international story of good news and love. >> you're my girl. i'm so glad you said that. as i was watching this, and not to bring the party do, it's great the fashion and all of that, but really this day is way beyond that. i think we're sort of missing the boat, missing the point with our conversation here. this is about diversity and inclusion. this is about the royal family changing. this is about britain, the monarchy changing. this is about the world changing. how many times have we heard dr. martin luther king jr. quoted at a royal wedding? how many times have we seen a black choir? how many times have we seen a cellist of color? >> this is about learning lessons that reflectively our

society as a whole is not so dependent upon whiteness, to put it bluntly. this is about the world coming together. the fashion is great, even if you look at the fashion, the first woman to head givenchy. if you look at the bishop -- if you look at reverend curry, right, who talked about dr. martin luther king. he said the late dr. martin luther king said, quote, we must discover the redemptive power of love. we do that, we will make this world a new world. but love is the only way. there is power in love. don't underestimate it. don't oversentimentalize it. there is power. there is power in love. he ended by saying, we must discover redemptive power of love. he's talking about bringing people together. meghan markle did that. everyone says she has to adapt to the royal family. they're going to have to adapt to her. >> both. i mean, both. >> meghan markle is going to be a force. she's going to change it. yes, she has to adapt somewhat. they're going to have to adapt

to her. you mark my words. >> i believe it. you're already seeing it. people call it the meghan effect. not only is she having the meghan effect on fashion, because she's an icon. i want to bring in our resident brit. >> there's only so long that i can sit here and stay silent. >> what do you think, richard? >> i think don has a point, but as it says in the famous book, only up to a point. this is a 1,000-year institution that constantly knows it has to change. but it changes slowly. >> and then quickly. and then all of a sudden it changes. >> no, no, no, no. the change is acceptable. the change takes place evolutionary, not revolutionary. that is how it has survived. so, when you're right, you talk about the nature of today's service and the differences which can be celebrated, don't overstate the ability of this

institution to change in its own time. >> well, listen, i think that we're seeing the change now. i don't think -- i don't think that the royal family can go back. i don't think that the world can go back. look at the people who are here. look at the people she brought into this. she's bringing into this. >> but you -- if we follow your line of argument -- >> the markle sparkle. >> if we follow your line of positioning, you are -- we would take the logical conclusion that he chose her because. >> he chose her because he loved her. >> right. so everything flows from that. not because of the racial issues that might have been -- >> but you cannot overlook that. that has nothing -- >> i agree with you, don. you think someone like that didn't celebrate the last wedding, they're now having huge street parties and it's very multiracial, and i do think to many people they're saying, the royal family is traditionally

very white, our judges are white. people of color do suffer in universities and schools. it's time to -- >> you got it. as i walk through the streets here, you know, usually -- and i've been to london a lot. people sometimes recognize me, sometimes they don't. people on the street, don lemon, you're here. there are black people from different nations on the street here to celebrate this. i think this is a moment for the world. this is -- we're dealing with so much division in the united states. and it's great to come here and have meghan and harry and the royal family let the world know that, you know, we should be together. this is about togetherness and inclusion. i think that is the big takeaway from today. >> we want to bring in professor harvey young, meghan's professor from northwestern university. professor young, you were telling us about the small, intimate class you had had for many years with meghan. and i'm wondering what you think as you watch the meghan effect on all of these levels. >> the markle sparkle. >> the markle sparkle, yeah.

in terms of a father with a young daughter. what do i want her to take from this broadcast, this wedding? you know, for me, it's not about -- it's not about the dress. it's not about being, you know, proposed to by a prince. it's that you can look at meghan, she's a person who is accomplished. she understands the value of investing in your education. she's a person who took the time to find out who she is. she traveled. she cultivated her voice. that third part, in terms of voice, you know, she will not allow herself to be silenced. she stands tall. she stands firm. she's a person who wants everyone to know we need to fight for female equality, push aside diversion. we take the big picture out of this, the lesson for young women, young men, is meghan is inspirational, she's a role

model because she knows where we need to go and we need to move in that direction where she's leading us. >> richard, what did you think just on the note -- you've been talking so much about bishop curry and his, you know, speech that was so different than what we had heard before at royal weddings. how do you think the brits and royal family responded as they listened to that? >> they wouldn't have been shocked. >> they won't be? >> of course not. they knew what they were going to get. there will have been an amused, raised eyebrow that the american bishop who came in, addressed them exactly as one would have expected. so, everybody played their parts as they would have expected. the queen might have thought, well, this is all a bit different, and that's fine by the queen. the queen is a wonderful woman at adapting. she's the quintessential adapter in society. we saw sir philip looking

bemused. >> hold that thought until we get back. coming up, we'll have all of the royal wedding highlights from the bride's epic entrance to the vows to everything we've been talking about, what happened during the ceremony and her imprint she put on it and to the kiss. >> the kiss. >> wait until you see what happens next. stay with us. discover card. hey, i'm curious about your social security alerts. oh! we'll alert you if we find your social security number on any one of thousands of risky sites, so you'll be in the know. ewww! being in the know is very good. don't shake! ahhh! sign up online for free.

the moment of walking into the church, of course, the ceremony now over. the reception for the 600 invited guests, that is where the -- all the guests are now inside st. george's hall. later tonight, a reception for 200 guests, more of a party. max foster calls it a knees up, earlier? >> i think this will be knees up. >> i'm not sure what that means, but an interesting visual. bonnie, you were listening to

don and richard kind of talking about meghan markle's ability to really change long-term this institution. you wanted to weigh in. >> this has been my country half my life. >> you're american but -- >> right. born on the south side of chicago, former new yorker and this has been my country for half my life. richard quest nailed that. that's exactly right. this royal family has allowed this to happen because they would not be where they were unless they understood about change. just to say quickly their name, they took their name from this castle because in world war i they understood, they continued with their german name -- >> the german name was coberg. >> if they continued with that, they would be in trouble. they were canny, smart. the queen and prince of wales -- >> richard said the change is

evolutionary. >> totally evolutionary. this institution would not be here if it didn't understand how to be evolutionary. there's a lot of talk about the will of the people in relation to brexit. no, the will of the people is this royal family. >> you got an interesting alliance now, actually. if you look at the history of royalty, it was about creating alliances with european countries, france and spain. this is an alliance with the united states. that sounds a bit trite. but historians suggesting that is the case. you now have america has married into the british royal family and what alliance do you want in the world? you want the u.s. alliance. >> one thing we haven't talked about is the way meghan markle has changed prince harry's fashion. max was saying it's changed a lot. >> well, i've notic subtle. >> but it's very subtle. but prince harry is like a dude. at the end of the day he's just putting on clothes, but in the time he's been with meghan you can see the subtle changes. the suits are more slim, it's more simple. you know, a lot of the

schleppiness, you might say, has been stripped away. that's definitely meghan's hand. >> it's a feminine touch. he looks healthier. meghan is a great cook. >> they talk so much about cooking together. they've done yoga and done some of the vegan lifestyle. i think they're very active in her california lifestyle. >> she's got a lot to adjust to as well, doesn't she? you were talking about the class system. but just the royal way of life. isn't as glamorous as people think. >> no, there is the rainy august weekends up in balmoral with the mosquitos and the royal brothers shoot. if you don't like shooting, you're not in a whole sort of culture you need to be in. >> harry missed his first boxing day last christmas. that's when he was with meghan. >> british holiday. >> yeah, the day after christmas is a famous shoot on the estate. he didn't join that. but she's going to be herself.

if she doesn't want to go, she's not going to go. kate adjusted to the system. >> one other quick thing. she has three titles with her marriage to harry. she's now the countess of -- >> the earl of dombarton. >> when she's in scotland. that's a whole other tradition. in northern ireland she's the countess of -- >> i have to get a break in here. >> up next, how meghan markle injected her style and heritage into this wedding and how british royals respond. we stand by to see the newly weds as they get ready to party into the night. ♪ ooh, heaven is a place on earth ♪ uhp. i didn't believe it. again. ♪ ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? ♪ i want to believe it.

an exciting day for the british royal family. perhaps a new day for the family. today's royal wedding had all the trappings of a fairytale with a modern twist. the bride, meghan markle, bringing a taste of home and a new kind of history to one of the most tradition-bound ceremonies in england. churchgoers listen to a rousing

performance of "stapd nd by me" with a choir and reverend bishop, the likes of which had never been seen. meghan markle and prince harry exchanging vows in front of the queen, the who's who, millions of people watching around the world. quite a day. i'm anderson cooper. thanks for joining us. >> i'm here with don lemon with more of cnn's special coverage of the royal wedding. so, it's been quite a moment. harry and meghan, who are now known as the duke and duchess of sussex. i love the ring of that. they capped their marriage with a kiss outside st. george's chapel. she wore a long-sleeved gown. it was modest. it was -- >> was it? you think so? >> yeah. it had a beautiful neckline, but it was -- this was a modest gown. it was designed by the first female artist director of

givenchy. and a queen mary diamond bandeau tiara lent to her by queen elizabe elizabeth. prince harry wore his military uniform and he was sporting a beard, which was unexpected. >> the dress showed a bit of shoulder and i thought that might be controversial. people were saying, she has to wear sleeves. the queen wouldn't like it. >> this is very typical givenchy neckline. audrey hepburn, givenchy's most famous client, a lot of necklines she wore were this as well. >> this has many echoes of audrey hepburn. after the ceremony the newlyweds rode in the open-air carriage through the town of windsor, celebrating their happiness. there were throngs of people lining the streets. some had been there for days. i saw tents popping up along the route because people wanted to

catch a glimpse of them. at this hour they're attending the first of two receptions. this one hosted by the queen for about 600 wedding guests. let'alk about t rest of their lives. >> 600 wedding guests, right? >> exactly. all of this wedding, which richard quest has told me not to get into the price. but in -- okay, but in terms of the -- let's start with the moments, okay, that we just saw. there was very beautiful, romantic moment when she first walked down the aisle and she met prince harry. everybody, of course, is reading -- okay. so we believe -- he looked at her. the very first thing he said is, you look amazing. >> that's love. that's love. i mean, he's -- he only sees one person and one woman. >> it was terribly touching. they held hands nearly throughout the ceremony. they were both holding each other's hands tighter and tighter. as soon as they got in the carriage, they held each other's

hands again. it's bonding. >> you know him. you had unprecedented access. what did you see when you saw harry's face and -- >> i saw him when he went in, i thought he was incredibly tense. he kept wiping his upper lip with his white glove. and that was because he was sweating with anxiety, i think. took the white gloves off and he sat down. he looked very tense to me as he talked to william. but the minute he saw her, you could just feel the relief in his face. this most happiest moment, i think. >> i wonder if it had anything to do -- when he's wiping the military uniform because folks were wondered if he would wear a morning suit but he wore the military uniform. >> the military uniform of the royals, william also in military. we got totally excited about the beard because whether or not you can have a -- you're not supposed to have a beard in military uniform but -- >> yes. this is the moment, richard, sorry to interrupt, where they

held hands throughout the ceremony. very self-unconsciously. they held hands because they wanted to. >> that's what we were talking about. this is in many ways a nontraditional wedding ceremony for royal wedding ceremony. they held hands. they truly love each other. you know, when i say this is not just about the pageantry. this is about love. so, you know, it's beautiful to talk about the gown and all of that, but this -- these two love each other. let's hope they do make a difference. >> i think we really have to talk about what i call the buy one, get one free syndrome. with william and harry, you are seeing a future monarchy unlike anything we've seen before. it's not like margaret and elizabeth. they have an agreement, a pact in standing, that harry will support william. and the british people are going to have, as i say, buy one, get one free. >> here's the dress. i'm sorry to interrupt. this is the moment of the dress

reveal when she got out of the car. people who have been speculating for weeks and months of what it would look like. your thoughts? >> the most important part is the veil that had the most personality to great britain, 53 different flowers embroidered for the 53 different countries of the british monarchy. that felt very personal to england. but clearly, she wanted to be modern, clean-lined. some of us thought it would be beaded, embroidery, looking for a little more pizazz. i personally think it's a little plain, but certainly she -- you know, she's maintaining this modern, clean way of dressing. it will be knocked off like this. >> what about having the first woman of givenchy? >> i think that's important. i think that's a message. i think it's an unusual pick. let me say that. givenchy is classically french. you think of france. it's a lovely gesture, a nod to the first woman running the house. but it's typically french.

i think there was thought behind it. this is very easy to knock off. i think it's going to be copied many, many times. we'll see this boat neck, come back, the three-quarter sleeves. >> i have the lunch menu. >> breaking. >> all right. please, tell us immediately. >> guests will be served a selection of cannapes, grilled english asparagus, heritage tomato tartar with balsamic pearls and then a selection of bowl foods including free range chicken with morel mushrooms, pea and risotto and ten-hour slow roasted pork belly. >> it's going to be a real challenge if you have your glass in one hand and a bowl in the other. >> are there no seats? no seating plan so people can mill around and mingle?

>> so everyone can be friendly. that's fashionable in the uk at the moment, these small bowls. >> is that something that's new? >> it's been around for two years, where people have food bowls. >> you basically have a standing buffett. >> so you can talk, you can mix with prince charles. it won't be a high table. everyone can mingle. and very important. really to suggest that the royal family is moving very quickly into this zone of change. i'm also anxious to see the cake. apparently it's not the usual cake we saw with william and kate. it's going to be an art installation, is what i heard. >> you're right. many of us may be underestimating the power of youth. this is a very young monarchy, except for the king and queen, modern, the cake is gluten-free. i don't want to keep going back, but this is change. i don't think it's revolutionary

but i think we're moving in it is right direction. meghan markle is pushing them in the right direction. >> she's like an instagram bride. she had a blog called the tig. she's very savvy about being a social influencer. these are things she saw and liked and took notes, as brides do, a pinterest board, she's very modern in that sense. >> and we believe she is going to make a toast herself, which would be the first -- >> to harry. >> to harry. which would be the first time that's happened. >> she is trailblazing in that respect. let's talk about the ceremony. i want to know what your thoughts were in terms of the flourishes that we think that meghan brought. obviously, we can start with everything from the minister and his service -- >> i found it a little uncomfortable. i've been a royal watcher for a long time. i've watched the royal weddings over and over again. this, to me, was a little uncomfortable. >> what part? what part was uncomfortable? >> i love gospel singing.

it's my favorite, actually, type of singing, but i just diplomdn think it fitted in there. this is a very english place and english institution. >> i thought it was great. >> we're on the same page. >> because we're americans. >> no. that's because we are -- i think people are missing the moment. in is a middle -- this is the beginning of a revolution worldwide. i don't want -- i don't think the royal family's going to change overnight. but this is the beginning. look at this ceremony. this ceremony was basically adapted around meghan markle. everyone else had to adjust to it. i don't think meghan markle is concerned about her husband becoming the king or about her ascending to the throne. they don't have that worry and is that pressure. so, she will be free to be who she is, to talk about policy, to tell people -- >> no,ist i disagree. >> the royal watchers -- >> they can disagree, but they cannot force them -- she'll have her voice.

>> she wouldn't want to upset prince harry. >> she's already done -- said things that princesses have never said before. >> not direct politics -- >> harry adores his grandmother but he's not married to his grandmother. >> he would not want to upset her. i mean, he's told me he hasn't had a career because he wanted to help his grandmother and has taken over a lot of responsibilities. how would she feel if he went somewhere and she really didn't like how he did it? i think he -- >> hang on. let me say. he doesn't want to upset her. he married a woman of color. >> that's different. >> all i will say is -- all i will say on this question of meghan involvi herself in -- >> look at the pictures. >> hang on a second. >> but what i will say on this question of meghan involving herself in policy issues or questions of policy, it is this -- every time a member of the royal family has done so, it has usually ended badly.

because half the people won't agree with you and they're the half of the people also paying for the royal family. >> let's look back at diana. diana was revolutionary in her time. >> it was -- >> it did not matter. to heck with the royal family. she did her thing and became the love of the world. adored by the world. but they did get divorced but she made her mark. >> but let's watch this. i want to get back to you, angela, about what you said was uncomfortable because i know you can channel the royal family. there was this moment, this passionate sermon from this american bishop, michael curry. let's listen to this and watch some of the royal family reaction. you don't hear the sound but see the reaction. anything we should take from their faces here, angela, where the bishop was talking in this passionate way? it was unusual for a royal wedding. >> i felt kate looked as if she

was holding herself back. the queen you could never tell but she's got the most incredible mask. she doesn't believe in revealing emotions in public. it's all stiff upper lip and duty. i didn't mind that, actually. you might be surprised. i thought that that worked. and i think a bit of passion around religion is a good thing. i was very happy with that. and i thought it showed both their interests in this way. >> i thought it was uncomfortable but spectacularly uncomfortable. >> that don likes. >> we saw some emotion that we don't see from the royal family. maybe put people on edge. i loved it. >> i want all of your thoughts. but nick watt was watching from his vantage point. nick, what were your thoughts with the crowd? >> i'm going to agree with angela, i thought the bishop was spectacular. but i'm going to strongly

disagree with her. i thought the choir was fantastic. something bonnie said immediately after the service that really struck me. she said, there are people in that chapel who will have never seen a service like this. and she is dead on right. i mean, i grew up in the anglican church. i have sat through dozens and dozens of dry, dusty weddings. at school i went to church every single day. this was next level. somehow they imagined to make it personal, profound. there are maybe a billion people watching this on tv but they still managed to steal those moments, the lifting of the veil, little bits of eye contact, the smiles. it was amazing. it was inclusive. it was profound. and i think it may have changed some people's minds. i can, and i will speak for maybe a chunk of this country, i can be a bit of a cynical old goat sometimes when it comes to the royal family, but this -- i had a tear in my eye. on twitter, some people i follow say, what, in 20 minutes we've all become royalists?

it's not that nafast but it's a start, a change, a sign of things to come. back to you. >> now to another g.o.a.t. richard quest. what did you think of the bishop -- i know you were studying their faces and body language. >> it was wonderful. >> not the service, but their reaction. >> look, you have to put it into context. he was wonderful. they were uncomfortable. but they knew what they were going to get. having said that, it is not the bishop's job to make the queen uncomfortable at a wedding in her own chapel. but she wasn't uncomfortable. others might have been but that's because it's different. it wasn't so different as to be off the reservation, no. this was a warm, welcoming, loving address that added a different tone to the day. >> well, my -- i love the stand -- i loved the choir.

i loved them singing "stand by me" and they were standing by each other, holding each other's hands. it might not have been the right place/of venue -- >> not there. >> we've had black people in this country since the 11th century, since they built st. george's chapel. when catherine came over to mary hen vii, she brought black attendants with her. britain, england's culture is about black culture just as much as the dry, dusty sermons nick watt was talking about. it was incredible. to hear the bishop talk about resilience of faith and slavery in the chapel, to many people who had benefitted from slavery, that is, i think, an unforgettable moment. >> i thought this particular rendition was particularly

heart- -- the flourishes and the pace. this is when i was starting to well up. >> it was a london-based choir singing this ben e. king. we all think of the movie. there's this melding of british and americanism in this one song, in this one piece. >> people who are not necessarily interested, especially in the united states in the royal family, they think it's all about pageantry and don't get it, are really tuned into this, they're dialed in and looking to the royal family now, hopefully meghan and harry, to change things to be transformational, transitional. that's my takeaway from today. listen, there's lots of light and love -- >> can i add something about that? the words stand by me does epitomize what they both needed since childhood. i mean, he has gone through a great deal -- >> with his mother. >> but he hasn't had the support of somebody he met years ago at university, like william had

with kate. so he's really tried to do it on his own, harry, and he's done it through his charities. it's been really hard for him. he mentioned he had mental health issues. and he's wanted someone who would stand by him. >> previously when he dated -- the women he dated before didn't necessarily want to be part of the royal family. >> they couldn't take the spotlight. >> and meghan is standing by him. >> she's standing by him. and i think she needs him to stand by her because she's only had one member of her family there. it's been a very difficult week with all the half-brothers and sisters and fathers and all those things. and if they found a patch where they feel they both found the person who would stand by them for the future -- i'm getting quite emotional. >> take it home. it's so beautiful. >> i think that that makes the song okay. i don't mean to be mean about

it, but i think be they possibly thought through and they both needed and have found, which is just amazing. >> what did you think of "this little light of mine," did you like it? >> i did like it. i like music we can all sing along to at weddings. >> and wasn't the cellist incredible. 19-year-old cellist who won the bbc music awards. many of us were quite near to weeping when we heard him play. >> i went through three handkerchiefs. ♪ ♪ this little light of mine this little light of mine ♪ ♪ i'm going to let it shine ♪ this little light of mine this little light of mine ♪ ♪ i'm gonna let it shine ♪ i'm gonna let it shine

♪ null ♪ ♪ prince charles walking meghan markle down the aisle. right before -- and there's prince harry getting his first glimpse at his future bride. there's a reception going on now, hosted by queen elizabeth for some 600 of the invited guests. and then there's going to be a knees up, as max foster calls it, i don't know what that means, later tonight hosted by prince charles. for younger -- >> a right royal knees up. >> that is crazy -- >> victoria is with me. >> we're also getting our first look at the wedding cake. what does it look like? >> well, anderson, i come with cake news. it is, indeed, a beauty. you know, we're so used to seeing multi-tiered, some might

say monstrosities, but meghan and prince harry have gone for something a lot simpler. we knew it wasn't going to be your traditional wedding cake. they have these single tiers, almost individual cakes, which we know are sponge cake with buttercream filling and elderflower frosting, if you will. meghan said she wanted it to ha the taste of spring. she wanted it to be light. she wted it to be delightful. just not your fruitcake you get at most weddings. this is very beautiful. it is very fresh. as i said, not multi-tiered, not overly ornate, very simple, very elegant, created by claire ptak of violet bakeries. she's a baker in east london. meghan first met her when she wrote about her for her blog, the tig, and struck up a relationship that lasted this length of time. it's a beautiful cake. i would just like a slice now. anderson?

>> yeah, the bowls are quite -- >> bring your bowls. >> would that feed 600 people? >> i doubt it. >> i doubt it. also, there's an odd tradition here, which i didn't realize, traditionally it's a fruitcake, which everyone hates. >> no one eats. >> they don't eat it. >> but they would slice it and mail it to people. >> yes. then we sell it on auction sites. >> has to be hearty enough. >> so, they would send it to people who were at the reception as a memento? >> people save the cake. >> they save it. they normally save the top tier of a cake. it's normally a monstrosity. they'll save the top tier for baby's first christening. some of charles and diana's cake just sold last week. >> wow. >> i want to go over for thoughts on meghan's dress. >> i want to show you a picture. we can do show and tell. >> here we go. >> there we go. so, we actually -- so, we know

the dress is givenchy by clare waight keller, the first female artist director of the house. the dress is exactly what meghan's personal style is. it's a simplicity of the dress. right away you can tell -- we talked about having no embellishment, no lace, and it feels modern and stark. but, of course, that neckline, which we'll get to later, but that neckline, that boat neckline, because you are required to have covered shoulders in st. george's chapel. and this barely gets away with it, but i think that's what's so great about this particular gown. of course, the small waist. it's a very heavy, structured satin/silk they bonded together. so, it gives it that sort of real structure. of course, it just has that soft straight down feeling but a bit of a train. the train is not overly dramatic. diana's train was 25 feet, kate's was 9. the drama for meghan came in the veil. let's talk about the neckline. this particular neckline right

here is something that we are going to see influence fashion, wedding dresses in years to come. >> really? you think it's going to have that big of an impact? >> i think so. this is a very elegant way for a bride to show off your shoulder, your collarbone, because it's the most flattering on any woman. they can be a fairytale pride without all the froufrou. >> this is an a couture dress, this can be north of $100,000. >> they sell that at kle kleinfeld's -- >> there will be a version, i'm sure, by the end of the week. this all happened very quickly. usually couture dresses take a long time to make but meghan met clare in january, worked with

her and jessica mulroney to get this to happen all in three or four months. >> is there symbolism in what she wore? >> there is. the most specific is coming from the veil. the dress was simple and classic but the veil is big. it's really, really amic. it's 16 feet long and embroidered. this is where the symbolism really comes in. all along the edges here, which you can see really delicately with the flowers of the 53 commonwealth countries, because meghan really wanted to pay homage to the countries she would be working with. one of the countries is, coincidentally, canada where she lived the last seven years. there's a lot of personal meaning to her, and on the veil itself is a flower that is

represented outside kensington palace. and one is the flower of california. >> and the tiara. >> the famous tiara, of course. >> and her mom called her flower growing up. >> oh, yes, so adorable. look at the drama of that particular veil where you can see that sort of 16 feet just really trailing behind her. >> i didn't realize -- i mean, i know nothing about this, but it's didn't realize that was from the veil. i thought that was from the dress. >> no. the dress is quite simple and the train is not dramatic. that's why i think it's so elegant to see it from the delicacy of what the veil is and what it represents as well. of course, the tiara. that is the diamond bandeau from queen mary made in 1932 on lone from the queen. that center brooch is what the tiara was created around. that was gifted to the then-princess mary on her wedding day. it's been passed down from generation to generation. and, you know, and i really think it suits her perfectly. i think there was so much speculation about the spencer

tiara and all of those different ones. i think they were too big for her. she's a petite girl and this frames her face perfectly. >> that's amazing. >> you have a side by side where you can compare it to kate and princess diana's dress. >> there we are. so, you can see the simplicity of what meghan's dress looks like and what her big moment is next to kate and next to diana. diana's is very emblematic of the '80s. >> even her bouquet was so much bigger. >> that was something meghan we want into this wedding with, i'm sure, for something that would stand the test of time. she did not want to look at a picture of her wedding dress 20 years from now and say, that looks very dated. we talked about her being inspired by carolyn bessette kennedy -- >> that was by narcisco rodriguez. >> and this is what she wanted.

>> there's a surprising amount of star power at the wedding. in advance a lot of people didn't know who was on the guest list. oprah winfrey was there, george and amal clooney, idris elba, david beckham, victoria beckham, sir elton john. >> it was very hollywood but they have very personal relationships to meghan and/or harry. there was a reason. they weren't there just because they're famous. >> elton john has done extraordinary work on hiv/aids, raised tremendous amounts of money for hiv/aids. >> beckham is largely sport. >> serena williams. >> that's a personal friend. a lot are through organizations, as you say. >> serena williams and meghan met at a charity volleyball game a couple years ago that they played in. they stayed in touch and they have become fast friends. >> joe, you pointed out abigail spencer was the only member of

the "suits" cast that sat in the choir. >> next to serena williams. there she is in the polka dot dress. she has a personal relationship with meghan in a different way. you can see that all really plays out these celebrities and how they really have a lot of personal relationships with meghan and harry. >> james blount the singer as well. bonnie, i know you were excited -- we didn't see as many fascinators. >> i was so grateful for that. i was deeply grateful. >> you felt oprah was wearing a church hat? >> well, oprah wore a church hat. that's what's known in the african-american community. that is a gorgeous church hat. also signified for me her deep respect for, a, being in a church, but also an understanding, meghan's mommy. that's the other part of this picture. they both wore their own version of kind of a church hat. it was very moving for me to see that. and she did it without any sort

of explanation. so, it was wonderful to see her. she paid homage to this moment, which is -- which is a revolutionary in itself, the moment. i just want to say quickly, too, that it's important for people to understand that this country is in a deep, deep moment of history. and only in its own history. it's going through a constitutional crisis. there are a couple of other crises that have been happening this summer. and now this extraordinary marriage. so, it will be interesting to see going forward how harry and meghan slot into the change that's happening but also the pushback that's happening. >> one of the things we'll talk about coming up is, you know, meghan markle as a citizen, as an american, was able to speak out about causes she cared about, about politics, about movements. that's not something as a member of the royal family she's going to be able to do, so she's going to have to sort of figure that out moving forward. we'll talk about that.

we'll talk about who is the best dressed among some of the guests at the wedding. our team takes a look at that coming up. when you've got...

the veil was a mission meghan and i shared, a special gesture embracing the commonwealth flora in the circumference of the tulle. so in a way it was as much meghan as well as the designer. >> givenchy dressed audrey hepbu hepburn. >> how many people would have been involved in that design and the work and the dress? >> i think in this case -- we learned a lot of this from sarah burton making the dress for kate middleton. she excluded her entire workroom because they were worried about leaks. she had two top seamstresses work on it. when it went out of studio, they told them they were making it for a television series. i think in this case it was under cloak and dagger as well. i think very few people knew about it. >> that's amazing to keep quiet -- >> it was the best-kept secret. it wasn't even remotely thrown out there as a possibility, which was very interesting. >> yeah, of all the names i read

on lists of potential designers, her name was not -- >> never. she very much acknowledges she's a british designer at a french design house. so, there is that sort of global quality that i think so much is meghan. she's american. she lived in canada. she's now a brit. you know, there is all of that stuff that feels very much about the world. >> and audrey hepburn did play a princess, so that's a whole sort of link to givenchy. >> we have footage of meghan stepping out of the car. that was clare waight keller rushing to fix the trainer. the designer herself rushed over to fix the way it played out. that was a nice gesture. >> you were worried with no adult bridesmaids, who's going to fix the veil? >> i know. >> we'll go to joe, who is among the best dressed at the event. right now let's go back to alisyn. >> we have a lot of thoughts on that. >> yes, we do. >> this panel is filled with fashionista. >> by the way, harry was waving

at me, too. >> through the tv. >> through the tv. >> and meghan said, hey, don. >> i did not see that part, though. >> absolutely. >> so, there was this garden of celebrities that came in in beautiful, vibrant colors. let's see who your best dressed guest was. kate, whose outfit did you like the best? >> i loved amal clooney. she looked beautiful in bright yellow. george clooney was thinking, i'm amal's escort. i'm beside her. i thought it was interesting kate middleton recycled her dress. she wore it for george's christening and george's birthday. >> i like that. why do you need a new dress? >> i think she was saying, don't look at me. look at the bride. don't talk about what kate was wearing. she dressed down for pippa's wedding, too. i think that's good of her to say, focus on the bride.

>> pippa was not garnering as much attention as she was at kate's wedding. >> she was wearing a simple off the rack dress, by the fold, london, about $60 0 or $700, one could buy for themselves. you know what i was disappointed about, princesses bea and uegenie. her hat became a symbol of pretzels and today she felt very jackie to me. she was wear a boat neck collar and pillbox hat. >> like '60s princess? >> maybe she learned her lesson. not all of the memes were kind. >> there's a happy medium between internet meme and flight attendant. >> if you're going to do it, do it. >> what did you think? >> well, look, amal clooney can

wear a garbage bag and look glamorous so i'm not sure she counts. i was looking at posh spice, known as victoria beckham, because she's a fashion plate. she was subdued in navy. oprah looked great in that lavender, i guess, lilac. she looked lovely. i liked -- there's posh spice, as we victoria beckham, as she prefers to be called. serena williams had on a beautiful dress as well. what did you think, don? >> two things. the bride, obviously, was the most beautiful. i looked at her. but i loved oprah's hat. i loved camilla's hat. and idris elba's wife had an interesting outfit on. it looked like gucci. oprah wore a traditional church lady hat. it was very respectful. >> i agree. >> you mentioned that as well. >> the color of the queen. >> chartreuse. >> i'm want sure what that is.

>> lemon/lime. >> it was wonderful color. >> i thought -- >> she looked elegant. she looked restrained. she looked absolutely smart as can be in a simple dress. i love that color on her. otherwise, i was slightly disappointed how modest everything was. i didn't see cleavage anywhere. >> you were looking for cleavage. >> you know, they had high necks, long sleeves. and sometimes they looked great in them and sometimes they looked a little bitdowd >> i do want to they didn't look -- there wasn't a huge amount of r. i mean, there wasn't -- considering it's spring. it's a beautiful day. ist it's windsor. it's a celebratory occasion. you talk about victoria beckham's dress. maybe i'm alone in this. it was boring and dull. >> tell us how you really feel. i have to agree with you when you talked about meghan's mom.

i got a note from someone who's a fashionista and she said, the only one chiccer than meghan was her mother who was utterly divine. >> she looked dignified. she was there trying not to cry copiously and holding herself together. i thought she came across as a really dignified, self-controlled woman, who would be supportive of her daughter. which is very important on her wedding day. >> i felt bad for her in a way. we kept looking at her in the chapel and she was sitting alone. there was no other family member or no other -- i mean, i'm sure it was a moment and she wanted to cherish it, she was emotional. but there was no one from the -- i just felt they could have put her with somebody she could nudge with or rub her shoulder. >> a wedding buddy. >> yeah, a wedding buddy. >> at the end of the service, charles took her hand and he walked her out. i thought that was very moving as well. he's done very well on this wedding. and harry, i think, will remember that for a long time.

you know, there have been a lot of disputes for years. >> it was amazing when he said, thanks, pa. when charles brought meghan -- he said, thanks, pa. >> that's a big change in the royal family, that the older generation and the younger one are bonding together now, forgiving the past and moving on. it's like the beginning of a new chapter. >>ok, well agree. a kum-bi-ya moment. i think the mom moment, an out of body experience to see her daughter in this moment. still ahead, the youngest royals and their most adorable moments. did they steal the show? that's the question. discover card. hey, i'm curious about your social security alerts. oh! we'll alert you if we find your social security number on any one of thousands of risky sites, so you'll be in the know. ewww! being in the know is very good. don't shake! ahhh! sign up online for free.

okay, you see little charlotte there, looking beautiful, or splendid with her crown of flowers. we need to talk about the kids. >> yeah. >> there were some scene-stealing moments where the kids played a wonderful role in this. they were her bridal party. she didn't have a maid of honor, she used the kids. i have to show this minute. watch the page boy behind her, carrying her veil. there's a moment where he gives -- this grin. he's so excited. he flashes that big, toothless grin, which is an up staging moment. >> that's become the picture of the moment. >> i love this, too. i love them waiting and getting out. it's just beautiful. the kids stopped the show, they really did. >> wonderful to see how much princess charlotte loves the

crowd. she was waving today. it's great to see she is not scared of the crowd. they are completely thrilled to be there, not scared as in the past. >> i'm astonished they behaved so well. >> 10 of the 7. >> you took the words out of my mouth. usually kids are he hsitant to walk down the aisle. >> harry and meghan are close to them. i imagine there's a comfort there with the kids. >> so cute. >> that moment of them walking up the stairs, the children with their mothers, holding their hands, coraling them. that shows it was a family wedding, at the end of the day. it was not a staged occasion. it was friends and family with

their kids, getting them together to walk down the aisle. >> only nannies were allowed to take them last time. it was mother's this time. it's important to have the mother helping out with all these little people. >> clare waight keller designed the little girls dresses as well. again, similar designs. >> this is the showstopper. >> he was consumed by the moment. that's probably what happened, so happy to be part of it. >> he was in quite a few rehearsals and not everything went right. it's marvelous that every rehearsal went wrong and on the day, it was perfect. >> look behind us. the weather. they could not pick a more picture perfect day. >> we'll always get a few weeks of weather like this.

if you can get the right weather on the right day, at the right time, now you nailed it. anybody who tried to have a holiday in britain knows the nature of that occupation. >> a very good moment. >> i think all the kids, it shows how youthful now, there's a certain youthfulness to the royal family. that was shown today. >> it reflected prince harry as well. meghan was hands on. prince harry chose the engagement. >> lovely. >> is that real? >> yes, it's real. kate gave it to me. >> prince harry was out picking flowers at kensington palace to accompany the set bouquet. we has little touches. i'm sure he approved of the dress. so much was what he was thinking, too, and what would make meghan happy.

>> this is beautiful. >> it's to size. you can get it at the souvenir shop. >> you are going to start talking like this. >> on behalf of the british taxpayer, thank you for all the things you have bought in the last two days. you have helped the economy, ma'am. >> i love this moment with charles and her. it was fantastic. >> he's held tight. >> back to the kids for a second. what do you think kate's role is? kate was the star. she was so beautiful and glamorous until meghan showed up. how is this going to work? >> it's a tricky situation. kate is the wife of the heir to the throne by one. meghan has come in with hundreds of ideas, forceful energy. i think it's her nature to step back a little bit and just watch. she's very careful of putting a

foot wrong. i think she will be moving forward very carefully. i think she's helped her a lot. >> you think kate helped meghan a lot? >> yeah. >> how so? >> she's told her how it was. she's the only one that knows that. the others were born into royalty. it it's custom they have had from birth. kate from a middle class family. william helped her learn it. she's been with william since they were at university. she had a long time. she was waity katy. she was going to wait. he found it difficult to commit as do people from a difficult divorced family. >> who does meghan bond with? is it kate? >> at the moment she's just absorbed with harry and harry is absorbed with her. it will take time. they are certainly friendly, they live next door. they will be friendly.

harry is brilliant as an uncle. i think how that relationship develops, they are both strong women. they are polar opposites of strength. kate is strong for william. she wants william to be happy and wants him to know what a normal, happy family is. meghan is, here i am. that will have to sort itself out. >> you were talking the modernizing of the family, how these two women do modernize together while, you know, recognizing kate goes in front. kate speaks first. catherine is going to be the queen. you are right. in the future, we could see a very diffent relationship. this spes to the idea of the closeness of william and harry. they are together in the way they handle this. >> that's what i said earlier when i said to heck with the royal family. what i meant is the heck with

tradition. she may not be so concerned with tradition. she's certainly has to think about it. that's the tight rope she has to walk. >> hold your thoughts. coming up, we want to talk about another angle, honoring princess diana. she was seen in little moments throughout this as well. how was she remembered biharry and meghan today and how was she missed? that's coming up. -♪ he's got legs of lumber and arms of steel ♪

all the celebrities looked beautiful. we are back with more of our royal wedding coverage. i'm allison camera ta with don lemon. lots of pomp and pageantry, romance and fashions. of course, this royal wedding has not been like others we have seen. it's to an american actress, meghan markle. >> she put her stamp on this historic celebration bringing elements of her own heritage. >> yes. and there's a lot more to talk about as we focus on the highlights of this spectacular event. look ahead to a second wedding reception this evening where we expect meghan to be wearing yet another fabulous look. >> another wardrobe? >> yes. >> how many more?

>> at least one. probably a couple more. >> quickly, can you talk about harry? i was fascinated by harry's uniform. >> it was classic. the blues of the calvary. >> looked stunning. >> yes. it was either uniform or morning suit. out of great respect, uniforms. >> it was so touching. >> this is where he said he told me he found himself, which is where he felt he could be harry, captain harry, not just the prince. he wants that attachment. >> yes. >> we want to go to anderson cooper for more reflections on everything we saw today. anderson? >> i'm not -- how many more outfit changes do y'all have? >> i have had two. this isysecond, i have one

mo. yeah, one more. allison, did you get the memo? >> i'm about done. i'm going to go to my pajamas and go to sleep. i'm not -- knees up tonight. let's talk about what we saw during the, you know, there's been so much talk, obviously about princess diana, her legacy, the impact her death had on prince harry and prince william. in particular, the difficulties to prince harry. there were a number of references to her at the ceremony. >> it was done in subtle ways. neither william or harry have great shows. they want to pay their respects to her in a private, personal way. white roses were included. last year, the 20th anniversary of her death, the kensington palace with white flowers and roses.

her favorite hymn was played at her funeral and william and kate's wedding. lady jane fellows was a really wonderful bridge between diana and the palace during the awful period, the war of the wales and was able to offer calm and perspective. >> diana's brother, earl spencer, i was a reporter at abc news covering the funeral. his speech was unbelievable. he talked about having a hand in the upbringing, the future upbringing of prince harry and prince william. did that side of the family have much of a hand or were they held aside? >> that was a great speech. we could hear the clapping start outside. it was very uncomfortable inside

the abby. you could see the royal family. the spencer sisters have had more of an impact because harry and william are close to those cousins. we have seen them become god parents. al spencer has his own family and his own troubles. diana and her brother were not on speaking terms at the time of her death. he tried to have a part. >> he was critical of charles not visiting diana's grave. would it be strange if he did? the sisters have clearly been quite involved. you saw that reflected today. >> we saw how much harry is just in love with meghan, saying to her, you look amazing. >> that's what william said to kate. >> is that right? >> yes. what is interesting, i think we take it for granted now, we have

been, for the last 30 years, at least, caught up in a narrative not of our own choosing but of this great family, this old family and their internal troubles. so we think, in a way, we know who they are. we don't know who they are. we can have an idea of who they are but part of what they wanted to do and what they have done as part of this narrative is allow us to think we know. he has said openly, harry said you don't know about my relationship with my brother. you don't know about my relationship with my sister-in-law, catherine. we don't. it's a double face. we think we know them but we don't. >> the queen is the master of that. her technique is interesting. this is where charles has come under question. people say to me, why doesn't she smile in public? she looks at something, you don't know what she thinks of

it. there's a natural instinct to fill that emotion. >> exactly. >> if you like it, she likes it. she's universally liked, but extraordinary. whereas if you saw what charles does in expressing opinions, you alienate people. you could do what harry does, some thought he went far about his emotions there. it's difficult. this is the line meghan has to judge. i think she's got an impossible dilemma. >> she does. >> we know she has opinions, unlike kate. she doesn't express them. we know she doesn't like donald trump. we know she is feminist and strong opinions. does she suppress those feelings dundermine her character or undermine the monarchy? if you are representing the queen, you can't express it. when trump comes here and the

queen is ill, meghan might have to do it. >> it might be a test for her. >> she's compromised. she's expressed her opinions. >> it's important to say this family exists because the british people want them to. they have no rights. they have nothing but their own property, whatever. the british people have chosen that this family remains in the place that they are and you cannot marry without permission of the commonwealth. edward was not allowed to marry. margaret was not allowed to marry because the people didn't want it. we can draw this gooey narrative. this institution is very much in the hands of the people, very much so. >> edward advocated the throne because he wanted to marry an american. >> anderson, he had to advocate it. it wasn't because he wanted to. he was told and literally told, you have her or you have the throne. you don't have a choice. >> that was the political

establishment not wanting divorce to be seen as a norm. it is a norm. >> exactly. >> there's a story of how she is described, a writer. >> you can call him a comedian. >> when i started going to buckingham palace garden parties, people who were divorced weren't allowed to go. now they are hosted by people who are divorced. >> they have tremendous privilege. if you ask them would they give it all up? no. >> exactly. >> at the same time, meghan, on instagram, before she closed that, she was drinking wine with girlfriends. can't do that anymore. you have to be responsible to the taxpayer, the nation. >> it's one thing to be born into it, for prince harry and william, this is the only life they know. for meghan markle, she's lived 36 years -- >> in another culture. >> in another culture. >> as an adult and made up her

own mind. >> they are saying, kate, this is your -- harry is going to help her. >> you have to help her. yes. >> in one of the interviews she did, i think it was their joint interview, she was asked about how does it feel giving up your career. she turned the question to the answer to make it more, it's not that i'm giving up, i'm starting something new. she is giving up. >> she's a retired actress. >> fundmental human rights. i'm not being ridiculous here. you can't vote. you can vote, but, you know, you can't be seen to vote. freedom of movement. >> you can't express your opinion. you cannot express your opinion about anything. if meghan can talk about not liking trump, that's the end of that matter. >> i think we will be surprised by her. we'll find the moments she knows where to push and where to conform. >> she's a bright girl. >> she's very bright. >> i'm not saying she's not

going to do that. she is, because she is a grown up, she will do that. this is not meghan markle walking into a family she is going to change. they have allowed her to come in, partly because they see the best expedient for themselves. they do. they are canning. there are going to be bumps. we need to know that so we can be available as people who care about her so we know this. otherwise, we are in some kind of gooey thing which really does not exist. >> i think you know, you can become president of america, anyone can. you can't become the monarch. that structure, the hierarchy within the top tier falls away. they all work toward the queen. >> it's easy to call it a fairytale. >> exactly. it's anything but. i wouldn't want it for my children. >> it's a level of celebrity. a level of the lack of privacy and the lack of being able to

really be yourself. >> yep. >> always be on -- >> express yourself. >> she's maintained individuality. the messy bun, the queen does not care. the type of handbag, it doesn't matter. there's not a rule to that. what's important to the queen, you are comfortable and able to do the job at hand. where she has to conform is expressing political opinions or things that could be assumed to be political. >> she is american. she'll open her mouth and people will go, oh, she's american. that's what americans do. it's okay. she may change it in that way. society can accept her as an american. >> i think she'll do the things she is supposed to do. the chairman of nbc told a great story, when she went to kensington palace, she hugged all the guards.

they said you are not supposed to do that. she said, i'm sorry, i'm american. >> let's check in with allison and don. >> we want to talk more about their love story. that is obviously what everybody is celebrating and was on display today in such beautiful ways. their ease with each other, their comfort. their demonstrativeness with each other. >> the way they look at each other. you can't help. you know how they feel about each other. they can't help but smile when they look at each other. >> you spent so much time with prince harry, is he dimpt than with other serious girlfriends? >> he had other serious girlfriends, but they didn't gel in the way he and meghan gelled. i saw an enormous change in him before and once he met her. he was laughing. he didn't take things so irritably. he's got a sort of -- he's very

positive, charismatic and things he inherited from his mother. dark feathers come over his face because he has a temper as well. he hasn't got the patient for beaurocracy and small detail. once he met meghan, everything suffered. it didn't matter because he was madly in love with her. that's a wonderful thing to see in someone. he physically changed his face. when i hadn't saw him in over a year, he wore blue suede shoes. now it's color neutral. whose affect is that? meghan's. he looks smarter. his whole demeanor is much happier. he's more tolerant, which is a good thing. >> he said he knew right away. >> yes. >> the third day they went camping he knew they were going

away together. >> he says he wants to sleep under the stars together and get to know each other. their first date was set up by a friend. he was sitting in the room and she walked in and he thought wow. it was love at first sight. the roman, some are texting their husbands saying i'm annoyed at you. >> we are talking about the moments here. you brought up a very good point earlier. one of the moments is beautiful when he lifted the veil. >> that is the scariest moment for a groom. is it going to snag? is it going wreck her hair? that had to be terrifying. he handled it beautifully. >> very close, face-to-face. you can't look around to stop yourself crying. it's very, very moving. she had tears in her eyes. he did, too, really. the most amazing thing to look

at somebody you love like that so close. >> a good job of doing it all today and not realizing there are a billion of us watching them do it. the intimacy between them, the looks we saw while they were waiting for the service to begin, during the service, the looks that charles gave to doria, the hand holding. they ignored the rest of us, which is how it should be. >> yes. >> as we were watching her in the carriage and she's, you know, waving, she's like -- can you imagine? think about this. you are an american woman, now married to a prince, you are a princess and you have all these people lined up waving. they are there for you. >> beyond anything she could have imagined. >> she's got it for the rest of her life. do not forget this. she cannot pop down to buy a curry. >> there was a story written

about the semitriabout their lives. her mom was pregnant, watching the royal wedding of prince charles and princess diana, pregnant with meghan and could not have imagined from this world away in los angeles, her child, her baby, would grow up to marry their son. >> very interesting is meghan is 36, starting this new chapter. diana died at 36. it's very touching that harry, who feels very close to his mother, still, said she would be dancing up and down and so excited and meghan would be her best friend. it struck me that actually, he freeze framed her as you do for someone who dies too young. he sees her still as how she was. that's also, he felt she would be here for him.

very moving. >> very moving. >> we had the bookies, the bet makers and one of the questions on the queen's dress. i have hope. >> you are doing well. >> when for the first child? >> when? >> there was a moment where they mentioned in the ceremony, they mentioned a child, or children. she smiled. i said, hmm. >> harry said before he met meghan that he wanted children. he said it when he was single. listen, everything is a process, but i would have children tomorrow, if i could. >> 2020, i think. >> '19. >> '19. right on allison. richard, what do you think? >> 2020. >> i think next year.

an engagement interview, they were asked about children. they were saying they want to start a family and want to work together. they see themselves as a team. they see themselves as a family team and the children will back up their work as well. they will be wonderful parents. look at meghan with those children. i hope, of course, they will have lots and lots of ginger children. >> think about the modernization as we all do to the royal family, to have this child of color come into the family, youthful, again, modern. i think it's going to be -- >> we have a stop or pop back all the things they want to do. you never know, as a woman, what sort of pregnancy you are going to have or how you are going to feel to your child. you might actually want to put off changing the world for that. >> what don was saying, this child is going to be seventh in line after the throne. if everyone after kate is in

front of them, this could be the first monarch of color. that is significant. >> on that note -- >> we know the baby is going to be beautiful. look at them. >> i can't stop looking at them. they are so attractive, i cannot take my eyes off of them. >> boy or girl? that's the thing. >> doesn't matter now. lives are changed. >> let's get the duke and duchess on that. >> hold all of those thoughts, please. still ahead, the royal relatives and their fashion sense. duchess kate was a star at the last wedding. did she dress to impress today? how about pippa middleton?

mansion. this idea of rewearing something, i think you are going to see a lot of that from meghan in a lot of appearances to come. it was very much about michelle obama as well to really not be frivolous with clothes and fashion. >> i have reworn this jacket the last four days. >> you are on trend. >> so meghan markle. >> what do we know about the relationship between meghan markle and kate? >> we don't know. that's one of the questions i asked last night of someone in the room with meghan, how close are they? they are different characters. meghan is vivacious. only kate understands what meghan is going through. she is being very sympathetic, they live next door to each other. she is advising her. >> kate had many years with william, prince william to

understand what it was like, what royal life was going to be like. i keep coming back to the fact that prince harry and meghan markle, they had i think a lunch date or something, then the next day they had another date, then they didn't see each other for i think a month, then went off for five days. they had a five-month time before it leaked out that they were seeing each other. in that five months, it wasn't like they were seeing each other constantly. >> she didn't quite realize what she was getting into. deliberately, kate was given this massive lead time and brought to london. at one point she packed so much, she left london. it was years. william said you tell me when you are ready. she eventually said i'm ready. she knew what she was getting into. meghan doesn't. >> no, she doesn't. these are two people who are in

love. i believe what the preacher says, love does conquer all. they will do it. it is important to understand, this is a very complex institution. it is not only about the crown, it is also about the established church. it's about all these things that meghan has now become a part of. harry will be there to help her. william will help her. kate will help her. charles will help her, but she is a grown woman. there are moments she will be expected to go out on her own, instigate conversations. she is being used as an ambassador for new things the royal family is going to do. the royal family exists in a network of courtiers, old families and they are conservative and they have their code. it's really, really important to know that. >> kate and meghan will have different roles. kate is being groomed to be the future queen.

meghan is not going to have that pressure. they have developed loyal followings of fans. if you go on social media, there is a kate camp and a meghan camp. both are very, very strong. that will be interesting. the four of them, the fab four are keen to work on anti-bullying and stuff, yet they are pitted against each other on social media. we will see them out and about more. you learn this job by doing it. the more meghan does it, she won't go out solo for a while, but before kate did. >> all the things you were saying, prince harry follows, i mean he reads stuff on social media, the comments sections in articles. i'm surprised somebody who has been in this as long as he has in the public eye would actually continue. >> he's a world expert in media, the world he grew up in, that tabloid pressure. it scarred him. it scarred him more than william

because he was a younger age. i have been in conversation with him where he gets upset about a story in a country we have never heard of. all the rest of the coverage is positive. even when it is positive, he reads the comments under the articles. it's not healthy because they are negative comments. you are a celebrity. do you read your -- >> no. >> i think you might see that with meghan as well. she was so famously active on social media, you can turn that off, but you can't turn off the curiosity. there is something where you will see she is reading it behind the scenes. >> you can turn off the curiosity. i used to read comments a lot about myself. now i don't. my life is so much, i realized how toxic it is. >> she may get to that point where it's not necessary or important. you have to prioritize it. >> she does have a big world

play. i have seen how harry, you know, i was telling you earlier, he has a phobia about going into a room where he doesn't know anyone, doesn't like public speaking, he hates it. >> he has to do it all the time. >> as soon as meghan appeared, he stepped back, her stepping forward. people said she is taking control. it's not that. it's him, a sigh of relief. i got someone who can handle those situations. i can do my work. i have someone to support me. you had that with william. william has kids and a wife. >> william said that before his marriage to kate, when gro to a engagement, you have the staff but no one is in the same position. when he was going with someone equal to him and in position, it took the pressure off. he had someone to share the burden, someone to talk about, you could whisper, did you see this or that?

you are sharing. >> the papers and the media make an enormous amount of money off the royal family. they make that money off the manufacturing crisis, imagining things, putting words in people's mouths, buying off people to tell stories. it is nonstop. it is something that no one outside of the family can understand. >> the royal reaction to the american and african-american touches throughout the wedding from an african-american preacher's rousing sermon to the music choices. that's ahead. ♪ and the land is dark ♪ and the moon is the only light we see ♪ u if we find your social security number on any one of thousands of risky sites, so you'll be in the know. ewww! being in the know is very good. don't shake! ahhh! sign up online for free. discover social security alerts.

>> i'm not sure -- >> i thought it was beautiful. i thought the gospel choir was great. the other person who stole the show was -- >> the bishop. so, michael curry of chicago, he gave this, you know, powerful sermon. it was very rousing. it was a speech which he also quoted martin luther king jr. >> he started with a quote from dr. martin luther king and ended with a quote from dr. martin luther king. we are talking about a break from tradition, he is the first african-american head in the church. in his autobiography, his parents were descendents of slaves. >> the late dr. martin luther king once said in that quote, we must discover the power of love, the redemptive power of love.

when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world. and let me tell you something, solomon was right in the old testament, that's fire. with this i will sit down, we have to get you all married. >> some folks say they think it was a little long, but i think people enjoyed it. we were talking about some people being uncomfortable by it. i think people, maybe they didn't know what to expect. >> let's ask richard. >> yeah. >> let's ask richard quest as we look at the faces of the royal family. it's hard for us to read what these faces say. richard, you are a studier of these things. >> look, there's nothing wrong. he went 30 minutes. he could have taken a minute or two out and not done damage to it. it was different. this is a high church of england

service in st. george's chapel, west windsor. you did not necessarily, normally expect to have an american-style preacher. but, that's not a bad thing. it's not a bad thing that he did it. i assure you, nobody was thinking oh, this is dreadful and awful. >> they were fascinated by it. >> it's different. >> three more minutes out of our lives, who cares? >> exactly. don't forget, multi-cultural britain, there are asian and others across the country. the prince of wales, as you know very well, said he does not want to be defender of the faith, which is one of his titles, meaning the church of england. he wants to be defender of faith. multicultural britain is where it's at in the future. >> looking through that, and an

american perspective, he has been outspoken about same-sex marriage, immigration, equal marriage between a man and woman and equal roles. how does that play here? >> perfectly. >> the church was, to a degree, expelled from the church a couple years ago because of the support for lgbt, because of their support. pitch shop kelly was the vanguard of. talking lgbt rights, what an amazing thing. talk about slavery, the maintenance of faith. such an important message to keep the faith through the difficult times. that's a wonderful take away and the power of love. this is happy news. there are terrible things going on. to remember to love your neighbor is a great message for the world.

>> dr. king's daughter, bernice king tweeted, your life, teachings and words still matter so much, daddy. >> how can you remember anything from kate and william's wedding, i can't recall a reading or hymn, but it certainly -- >> i can hear the queen saying this evening -- >> it wasn't that different. wouldn't you agree? >> yes. >> that is the thing the queen will be saying. >> sorry. >> go ahead. >> she's tried very hard to leap forward in terms of life nowadays, which is extraordinary for someone who is 92. lots of things haven't changed. in buckingham palace, there's bar heaters.

she's not interested in redecorating the room. if you say movement forth where people will still want to enjoy the monarchy and think it has a value, she enjoys this. she's mischievous. remember what she did with the olympic games? she came down in a helicopter. well she didn't. >> then james bond and the corgis. we are talking who is going to support her. i think the queen is going to. we saw pictures of the queen driving out of windsor with meghan's dog. >> dogmobile. it's very important. >> we were talking during the break and you hit on it, speaking of moving forward, the royal family knows they need meghan. >> yes, of course. it comes back to this multicultural britain. britain is multicultural, multisociety and different

populations, same-sex marriage. the royal family, they have the way forward group after diana. reforming, changing, tweaking, moving. it is absolutely part, core and central to how this institution has survived for a thousand years. the question is, of what speed in what kaweight and what time. >> they need youth. >> absolutely. that's going to be a problem. >> they want to represent normal families. >> right. >> they did do that, but the queen realized she failed. three of her children have been divorced. she no longer can take a stand and say marriage has to be like this, that and the other because it hasn't worked. she's moving forward. she wants to move forward. >> why is it a problem? >> when the queen passs on, we'll have king charles and he will be in his 70s. you have an elderly queen for 20, 30 years. you are going to have an elderly

king at the time when you were saying the president of france is in his 40s. the most popular monarchs are the young ones. so, 1826 is the best time to go to the throne. unfortunately for charles, it is difficult. he's been in the waiting for a long time. he's waited for the job so long. he probably won't get too much. >> we have a little breaking love news. while we were not looking, did meghan and harry steal a second kiss? >> they deserve it. >> we are going to be watching from now on. they can't do anything without us watching. our coverage of the royal wedding continues right after this. should look like this. handcrafted layers of clean food you can give your kids. tomatoes. even the picky ones. panera. food as it should be. now delivered.

i want to start with oprah. let's have a look at the big "o." of course we love this hat. this was a favorite. >> in ferms of her being able to sport it, that's a fabulous. >> you're going to see that almost every hat was made by phillip tracy or steven jones. tracy makes hats for people like lady gaga. so for it to be a big part of such traditional day like today is really excited. he also made a very controversial hat at william and kate's wedding. >> this was auctioned off for more than $100,000. >> phillip tracy, who made one of my favorite hats from today onica mill la. it's literally a dome of feathers. i don't know if you can see it now. but it's just pale pink feathers b stacked on top of a disc.

>> saucer of feathers. >> or birds. >> birds. >> i liked it. >> i think she wins princess beatrice award. >> she can carry it off. >> ultimate insult. >> i loved it. >> i think she looked good in it. >> it was fun. fun hat. >> he makes all her hats any way. >> and of course we talked about steven jones earlier. who made a lot of hats and h done a lot of kcustom work for megahahn and did hat for her mom. also, amal clooney. she looks amazing. look at the veil and it's a very, a will the of people wore veils today, which they didn't at kate and william's wedding. on victoria beckham and amal and it's that really flashy disc on the head.

>> who's the guy next to her? >> that's a hybrid of a hat fascinator. >> yes, not the full oprah hat, but it's not the head band either. so she's that perfect hybrid of what that hat should be. >> when you're wear iing somethg like that, does it feel precan ca precarious? >> they have best hair people maneuvering it so it's sort of wind proof. everything proof. that wedding has a lot of hollywood here and hat culture is not american culture. so chopra went on an interview and said the hardest struggle with wedding was finding the right hat. here she is. something something more structured. >> he does the flying saucer kind of. silhouette.

and the big box. like a stack. >> sorry. >> grubby. how much is a phillip tracy hat? >> from hurricanes to thousands. i think depending on the int ra kwasi ai could be way more. these hats are not cheap. >> and do you get the outfit fit or hat first? because they all match. >> you get the outfit first then work with the color, fabrication, the look. the these are so in tuned. >> so each headpiece, this is a dumb question. of course they are. >> absolutely, yes, from the very beginning. i think a lot of these are custom made. of course, this one of -- >> legend. >> let us down today. >> didn't you want her to deliver more today? >> she did something so much

safer, but come on, max. come on. >> legend. >> i feel like some sort of reindeer is running towards me right now. fashion or a defense mechanism? she's young, having fun. it can be a bit matronly. >> i think the way she turned it around and sold it was great. for charity. >> absolutely and of course her sister who is here today and also much more demure than she was. totally flight attendant. pan am. >> yes. >> you know, much more. >> i want one of these hats. >> what about the queen. >> we're going to have to imagine the queen. i don't have her. imagine a neon vision coming

towards you. >> the queen has particular, does she wear the same designer? does she have one? >> only since the late 2000s. that's been the anointed clothesmaker to the queen. >> anything else? >> number one hat. >> the one you love. >> number one hat and outfit? >> i'm going give that to amal clooney. she looked so elegant and really i mean let me just hold her up a minute. >> you were saying for this reception tonight, people don't go back to their homes then change then come back. so do they bring anything? >> facilities to change here, but yes, they will change into something that's more evening, but more party and more fun. >> interestingly, quick footnote on amal's outfit.

>> look at the length on amal's dress. below the knee and i think a lot of meghan's influence -- a lot of that comes from being advised. i think she's advised her on evolving her style. >> asymmetric hem line. >> maturing it from new york and california and when she was in california filming. >> it's a big jump arriving in london. she has to worry about where to go to to do her hair. >> just natch rurally happens. >> our coverage continues from windsor after this quick break. ♪
