4:01 pm
and broke from royal protocol. >> redefined royalty. >> do you see any scenario by which harry and meghan overshadow kate and william? >> it was my first thought. >> and modernized the monarchy. >> the world's view of the british monarchy is probably going to be determined more by harry and meghan than by william and kate. certainly by charles and camilla. that's a very unusual situation. >> tonight a cnn special report. a royal match, harry and meghan. >> i'd never even heard about her until this friend said, meghan markle. i was like, right? okay. give me -- give me a bit of background. >> it is july 2016 in london when britain's most eligible bachelor, prince harry, is set up on a blind date. >> it was definitely a setup. it was a blind date. >> i was beautifully surprised when i walked into that room and
4:02 pm
saw her, and there she was sitting there. i was like, okay, i'm going to have to up my game. >> harry ups his game, and they begin a whirlwind romance. just weeks later, they're vacationing together in botswana, africa. >> we camped out with each other under the stars, and we spent five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic. >> in the months that follow, they date long distance, meeting up in london and toronto, where meghan, an actress, is filming her tv show, "suits." >> wow, you're pretty. >> good. you've hit on me. we can get it out of the way na i'm not interested. >> the whole time keeping their relationship a secret. >> i mean when they first met, nobody knew about it. i mean they are such a charismatic company. >> penny juner wrote a biography about harry. >> they kept this relationship quiet. >> which is itself impressive. >> it is impressive. the great fear about harry
4:03 pm
finding a wife was always going to be the intrusion of the press because that is what had killed two previous long-term relationships. >> relationships with actress cressida bonas, and his first love, chelsy davy. >> chelsy had experienced the most horrible treatment. photographers had been waiting for her. they would call out names, slag, bitch, whore, trying to get a reaction to her. i guess she looked at all of that and thought, do i want this for my life? i interviewed harry just before he met meghan, the month before, and we talked about his private life at the time. >> harry tells the royal correspondent for britain's sun day times about a, quote, massive paranoia he feels in finding a girlfriend. >> i think harry's great fear was that unless he had enough time to get to know someone, if that relationship prematurely became public, they would be absolutely swamped with media interest, and that would change
4:04 pm
the dynamic of his relationship. >> and what happened to his mother is never far from his mind. >> maharry and his brother stil feel that paparazzi and press intrusion were certainly partly possible for his mother's death, and thought why would anyone want to put up with this for me? >> harry wants to keep his relationship with meghan private as long as he can. but just four months after that first date, the news is out. and the paparazzi pounce once again. >> there was a photographer who got inside meghan's house in toronto. the paparazzi were camping on her mother's front lawn and following and harassing all members of her family. anybody really who knew her. >> despite starring in a tv show, meghan is relatively unknown. now the british press wants to know who she is and if she's fit for the royal family.
4:05 pm
>> she was a woman who has been married. people are fascinated by the fact that she was divorced. people were fascinated by her background, her acting, a career woman. how would that work being with someone in the royal family? that's not what we've seen before. >> they also have not seen someone biracial dating a member of the royal family. and some of the conversation is blatantly racist. >> there was one newspaper headline saying straight outta compton, suggesting she was from a gang-ridden neighborhood. >> a book about race, identity, and belonging in britain. >> would harry be dropping around for tea in gangland, which was very clearly racially loaded. >> a whole other issue exploded which was the number of rather horrific social media racist comments began to flood in from the darkest, vilest corners of the internet. >> the royal family responds in unprecedented fashion, with
4:06 pm
prince harry's team releasing a statement confronting the, quote, abuse and harassment meghan is facing. >> it's very unusual for a statement to come out. >> no one understands this better than dicky arbiter. he was press secretary at the palace for 12 years. >> he made the point, this is not a game. it's not a game. it's people's lives. and he was very angry, and it was a sort of back-off remindersreminder to what they did to his mother. >> why is it that you think that meghan's upbringing, her race, why did that garner so much attention? >> in the past, members of the royal family, princes would have married princesses. and when harry's father, prince charles, was looking for a wife, it was also a requirement that a wife should be a virgin and a member of the church of england. >> you just go back a few generations in the royal family, and everything that you can say about meghan markle disqualifies
4:07 pm
her for marrying harry. >> kate coin is the executive editor of "people" magazine. >> this is precisely why you had edward abdicating his throne, so that he could marry an american divorcee. elizabeth's sister margaret was in love with a divorced man, and was not allowed to marry him. >> wasn't charles and diana's wedding and marriage a wake-up call in some ways for the monarchy that you can try to have somebody perfect, about you it has to be chemistry, and you have to let the person have the freedom to marry who they want? >> i think it was a lesson that they've learned. >> harry is desperate for history not to repeat itself, and he's anxious to protect meghan. >> harry's statement was the most romantic thing a member of the royal family has ever done. and i think engagement watch was on from that moment. it was, let's wait for the ring. >> the ring comes in november
4:08 pm
2017. >> prince harry has announced his wedding engagement to american actress meghan markle. >> and the royal family welcomes meghan with open arms. >> the queen made an exception and broke from royal protocol and invited meghan to spend christmas with the royal family and the queen at sandringham. that was the first time a royal fiancee has ever done that before actually marrying into the royal family. >> a powerful sign the monarchy and the queen are modernizing and changing. >> the royal family now is trying to at least be much more reflective of society, and the queen first and foremost wants her grandson to be happy. >> and that happiness is something harry has been searching for most of his life. when we come back, the moment that changes everything. >> he didn't really deal with what life without her meant. it destabilized him and caused chaos for years.

4:13 pm
>> so all through harry's formative years, he always knew that he was second. >> he was always referred to as the spare. just always second best. and i think that had a profound effect on harry. >> his childhood is also impacted by his parents' marital troubles. >> harry grew up in a very tricky household. the prince and princess were never happy together in a marriage that had failed before it even began. >> i remember the times when diana was shut away and quiet or crying, and the boys would write little messages. please don't crumb, mummy, and they would put it under the door. >> when charles and diana divorce, it hits harry hard. then one year later, his mother is killed. harry is just 12 years old.
4:14 pm
>> this incredibly loving figure who had given him so much warmth and comfort in what was a very difficult childhood and extraordinary upbringing was suddenly gone. >> i remember harry coming back to kensington palace shortly after the funeral. he ran down the corridor and flung himself into my arms and cried. and his tears wet my shirt through. he was devastated. >> pick up the phone and -- >> harry later admits to itv, he has deep regrets about his final phone call with his mother. >> i can't really necessarily remember what i said, but all i do remember is probably, you know, regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was. and if i had nope that was the last tim i was going to speak to my mother, the things i would have said to her. looking back on it now, it's incredibly hard.
4:15 pm
i have to sort of deal with that for the rest of my life. >> guilt and grief he never expresses at the time. >> i think it was a classic case of don't let yourself think about your mum and the grief and the hurt that comes with it, because it's never going to bring her back, and it's only going to make you more sad. people deal with grief in different ways. and my way of dealing with it was by just basically shutting it out, locking it out. >> prince harry arrives here, at eton, the prestigious boys' boarding school, the year after his mother's death. although he moves into the same house as his older brother, william, harry reportedly struggles academically and is miserable. >> diana always said she never wanted harry to go to eton because he would be compared to his brother's success.
4:16 pm
and she thought this would be the undoing of harry's confidence. >> prince harry said that he decided that he was going to be a bad boy. >> journalist angela levin interviewed harry last year at kensington palace. >> so the reason he didn't do well there was partly his fault. it was deliberate. >> in 2002, headlines emerge of harry's drinking and marijuana use. for the first time, harry is facing the public pressure that comes with his famous family. did it seem to brits that it was more than just typical teenage antics? >> you know, teenagers do drink too much, they behave badly, it's all part of the growing-up process. but i personally worried there was something deeper. there was a touch of self-medication going on. >> after graduating from eton, harry escapes to africa during his gap year for humanitarian work.
4:17 pm
>> it was an escape from this heavy-duty world of royalty, always being watched, always being photographed. he could be very ordinary. >> he spends two months in lesotho with children in need and others whose parents died from aids. >> he saw there were holes in their lives, absolutely he saw in them something he felt was missing in his life, care, love, and attention, the loss of his mother. >> harry not only falls in love with the children and the country, he begins a serious romance with a wealthy girl from southern africa, chelsy davey. >> she's very free spirited, not someone who felt bound by royal protocol and tradition and also shared his love of africa. and, you know, the two of them traveled extensively throughout africa together. >> chelsy remains a constant in harry's life for years to come.
4:18 pm
at a time when he was missing - that female figure to support him. and i think chelsy did that and understood him, and she could understand that he'd been rough a very difficult time and was still going througa very hard ti. >> a very hard time that harry struggles to overcome. when we come back -- >> prince harry got so low that he decided at one point that he might leave the royal family. >> and then meghan markle's struggle with her biracial identity. >> she has heard the names her mother has been called, and she's well aware that that is happening for one reason only, and it's the color of her mom's skin. ♪

4:22 pm
meghan markle grows up a world away from the pomp and circumstance of royal life. you hear that someone grew up in los angeles and you think about swimming pools and palm trees and beverly hills. and meghan markle's childhood in l.a. was not that. >> born in 1981, she is the only child of doria ragland and thomas markle.
4:23 pm
>> meghan's father was a lighting director for a number of shows in the los angeles area, most notably "married with children." he eventually became the director of photography. that was the sort of behind the scenes, less glamorous side of hollywood. >> meghan recounts spending time with her father on the set. >> i grew up on the set after school every day for ten years i was there. it's a very perverse place for a little girl who went to catholic school, no less, to grow up. >> meghan certainly had every reason to be dazzled by tv, film, the whole on-camera experience, from a very young age, because she grew up around it. >> we all knew she wanted to be an actress. >> christine knudsen is meghan's former teacher. >> she was in the musicals. she was in the plays. she would sparkle when she got onstage, and i think it was just kind of in her blood. she loved it.
4:24 pm
>> despite two loving parents, meghan struggles with her biracial identity. >> i think she was kind of grappling a little bit with her sense of identity and trying to understand who she was. >> the senior writer for "vanity fair" has covered meghan. >> her father was lightweigwhit. her mother was black. she said when she would fill out forms, there wasn't always a bubble for her. she didn't want to circle the one that was implying that her mother was more important than her father or vice-versa. >> meghan's parents go out of their way to make sure she does not feel different, but special. >> her dad gave her a sort of barbie doll family in which there was a black mom barbie doll and a white dad ken doll and then a baby barbie doll in each color. but even that kind of points to how difficult it is to be meghan at that age because the children were still either black or
4:25 pm
white. there was no biracial barbie baby doll for meghan. >> while the markle household deals with race head-on, years of built-up racial tensions in the country explode right in meghan's backyard. >> she was driving i think with her mom, and i think there was debris. she thought it was snowing, and she realized i was actually the l.a. riots. >> riots that erupt when four white police officers are quitd in the beating of a black man, rodney king. a moment meghan says impacts her at a young age. >> it definitely opened meghan's eyes to the fact that this was a world that was not always going to treat her fairly. and was not always going to be kind to her or to her family. >> i was teaching here at the time, and i think it destroyed kind of that feeling that l.a. is this wonderful place to live, and you have all these different
4:26 pm
kinds of people, and we all get along, and then this just kind of smashed that. >> it's a grim reality for an 11-year-old to face, and one that would always be present. >> meghan witnessed her mother experiencing racism. she has heard the names her mother has been called. and she is well aware that that is happening for one reason only, and it's the color of her mom's skin. >> meghan's early experiences with discrimination are not isolated to race. while watching tv advertisements for a class project, one commercial stands out to her. >> women are fighting greasy pots and pans. >> in the ad they implied that the product was just for women who were going to be at home doing the cleaning. >> 11-year-old meghan tells nick news what she thinks. >> i don't think it's right for kids to grow up thinking these things, that just mom does everything. >> she was irate because she
4:27 pm
thought, you know, my dad does dishes. it's not just women who do dishes. why would it be women across america? and she wrote a letter. >> i was wondering if you would be able to change your commercial to people all over america. >> and wouldn't you know it, it works. >> the gloves are coming off. people are fighting greasy pots and pans with ivory clear. >> it had to have been such wonderful reinforcement for her at such a young age, that she could make a difference, that she could take a stand and have her voice heard and not be dismissed. >> when we come back, prince harry and the burden of royalty. >> she really did love him, but being with harry and the huge circus that came with it was overwhelming for her. >> she didn't want to be a princess. >> i didnon't think any sane pen wants to be a princess.

4:32 pm
>> that just seems like a moment of extremely bad judgment. >> it was a moment of complete and utter thoughtlessness. you know, he was young. he was very troubled, and he was drinking far too much. and he was a bit of a loose cannon. >> at just 20 years old, harry is earning a reputation as reckless and self-destructive. >> he was photographed incessantly after he left school, during his sort of gap year, running out of one nightclub after another. >> and he has a run-in with the paparazzi that leaves a photographer with a split lip. >> for many years it was a real worry about what would happen to harry because he didn't seem to want to be a royal. he really kicked against it. he wanted to be a normal human being. >> when harry arrives at sandhurst military academy in may 2005, the pressure is on to turn over a new leaf. >> he's not had that discipline
4:33 pm
for so many years. people were concerned that harry wouldn't find his way. >> sandhurst is nothing like the lavish royal lifestyle that harry has become accustomed to. throughout the 44-week grueling training course, he's treated like every other soldier. >> it could be said it kind of knocks a bit out of you. >> general lord richard dannatt was chief of the british army. >> in the early days, the first five or six weeks when the training is really tough, it encourages people to rely on each other, to help each other. >> harry is one of the guys. yet there are painful reminders he's still a royal. when his unit deploys to iraq in may 2007, harry is forced to stay behind. >> there had been a number of specific threats, specifically aimed at prince harry. and it's for that reason that i've decided that the risk to prince harry is too great.
4:34 pm
i think when he was told he couldn't go, it was a really low point for him. >> i didn't sort of join the army thinking i was never going to go on operations. it was very hard. i did think clearly one of the main reasons i'm not allowed to be going is because of the fact of who i am. >> but months later, a secret deployment to afghanistan gives harry a taste of the front lines. >> as far as i'm concerned, i'm out here as a normal jtec on the ground and not prince harry. it's very nice to be sort of a normal person, and for once i think this is about as normal as i'm ever going to get. >> it was present much a turning point in his life. but i think he realized the seriousness of life, really rose to the responsibilities. >> but after ten weeks on the ground, his mission is leaked and harry is immediately evacuated. >> it wouldn't have taken the taliban or others long to have searched around and found out where he was. so there was a risk to him. but i think also if there was an
4:35 pm
increased risk to him, there was an increased risk to the other soldiers who were around him. and the only sensible and safe thing to do was to bring him back. >> he was very angry. to use the words of his private secretary, he was boiling mad and sort of headed for the gutter. >> what did that look like? >> he started drinking very heavily. he was fed up with who he was. >> who he was is also causing tension in his relationship with his longtime girlfriend chelsy davy. >> she really wasn't that fussed at all with the trappings that came with prince harry. >> in april of 2011, harry brings chelsy here to westminster abbey for the wedding of his brother, prince william, and kate middleton. there are 1 million people lining these streets and millions more watching on tv around the world. it's an intense spotlight and chelsy struggles to cope with.
4:36 pm
>> she was determined that would not be her life. she wanted a career of her own. ultimately that was one of the things that ended their relationship. she didn't want to live inside the goldfish bowl. >> harry does not either. and he is determined to return to the battlefield. >> when he came to see me, sort of sat or rather slumped in the chair and said, the trouble is i can't be like a normal young man. but that time in afghanistan had given him ten weeks to be a normal young man and he desperately wanted to replicate that. he accepted, and his private secretary accepted, that probably the only way he could go back was in the anonymity of being inside a helicopter. he therefore needed to learn how to fly a helicopter. >> after two years of training harry not only becomes an apache pilot, he is the top gun on his weapons course. >> he got it on his own. it wasn't because he was a prince. he actually had to fight really hard for it. he was one of the very top apache attack helicopter pilots. >> harry returns to afghanistan
4:37 pm
in september 2012. >> he did exceptionally well. >> brigadier neal sexton was harry's commander on the ground. >> you would go out there with the anticipation of having to use the apache's weapons systems and to bring them to bear without any collateral damage and also to conduct yourself in a way that's safe in the most demanding of environments. >> i actually believe that his success on that apache, on those apache aircraft, was the making of harry. i think harry, who had spent all his life being second best to his brother, being the spare, suddenly found something that he could do and could do better than anybody else. and that gave him confidence that he had never, ever had before. and he just -- it changed him, i think. >> when harry leaves the army after ten years of service, his future is uncertain.
4:38 pm
>> i don't think there are any career options for a royal prince. it's easy for william. he's heading towards the throne. i think being royal for harry was a burden and a curse because he was only the spare. what was his job? what was his way forward? >> as harry finds his way, another romance is on the rocks. this time with his girlfriend of two years, cressida bonas. >> she really did love him. but i think the situation of being with harry and the huge circus that came with it was overwhelming for her. >> i think cressida took one look at what life with harry would have involved and just turned her back on it. >> you know, she didn't want to be a princess. >> i don't think any sane person wants to be a princess. >> who would want to be a royal princess? it's a burden. >> when we come back, harry opens up about his royal role. >> he's living this life he's

after graduating from northwestern university, meghan markle moves home to los angeles. she's eager to chase her acting dreams, but the industry is tough. >> that is an industry that is built on judging you and tearing you down and rejecting you and making you second-guess your weight and your skin and your hair and your talent and your poise. >> it's brutal. it's brutal. >> harvey young was meghan's acting professor in college. >> when you leave college, it's a pretty bleak world of just laying bare your soul as part of an audition before a casting agent, and then more often than not being told no. >> for meghan, her identity struggle is magnified in

hollywood. what has she said about how her race impacted her getting jobs? >> casting agentings weren't always sure what to make of her. is she going out for a latino role? is she somehow made italian or middle eastern or is she african-american? is she caucasian? it felt like at times casting agents threw up their hands and went, never mind. >> passed over for big roles, meghan does get some small parts. >> what's going on here? you're way too cute to be a fedex girl. >> she'll have one scene or be there for one moment. i think she was on a bunch of tv shows, "friends," beverly hills 90210. she was a "deal or no deal" girl. she had her little moment opening one of the briefcases. >> she has said that her 20s were brutal. >> meghan struggled a lot.

summer 2017. it's been 20 years since princess diana's death. and prince harry is speaking about it for the first time in a documentary for the bbc. >> when you're that young and something like that happens to you, it's lodged in your heart and head and stays there for a very long time. >> for nearly two decades harry says he held back his grief. >> he didn't really deal with what life without her meant. i think for a very long time. when he did finally confront it, it destabilized him and caused chaos for years. >> i spent a long time of my life with my head buried in the sand, thinking i don't want to be prince harry, i don't want this responsibility, i don't
4:54 pm
want this role. look what's happened with my mother, why does this have to happen to me? >> harry even considered a drastic move. >> prince harry got so low that he decided at one point that he might leave the royal family. >> he's living this life he's been born into, it's not his choice. i think he felt at times very cross about that. >> did diana's death affect harry different than william? >> harry was that much younger. interestingly enough, last year he admitted for the first time to mental health issues. you can't help about you having a mental health issue in terms of having lost a parent, not being able to grieve in the same way as you or i might be able to do. he wasn't able to do that. he bottled it all up inside him. >> now harry is letting it all out, sharing his struggle as part of his heads together campaign with prince william and kate to end the stigma around mental health.
4:55 pm
>> i never really talked about losing my mum at such young age. i always thought, what's the point of bringing it up, it ain't going to change it, it ain't going to bring her back. >> harry ultimately chooses a future he hopes would make his mother proud. >> i felt an overwhelming connection to the children i met. >> something he shared with the bbc. >> now all i want to do is try and fill the holes that my mother has left. that's what it's about for us, is trying to make a difference. and in making a difference, making her proud. >> he spends much of his time working on the charity he created for the children he met in africa. >> you look at harry's work with hiv and aids, that was something that his mother, as harry said, smashed through the stigma of that when she was alive. >> and he's focused on the invictus games, an olympics-style competition he started to give wounded veterans
4:56 pm
a chance to be defined by more than their injuries. >> it's life changing. it really is life changing for them. >> i think he has used his own experience of loss and sadness and the bereavement to help these soldiers. and the bereavement doesn't just mean losing someone. it means losing yourself, i think, too. he's embraced who he is. it took him a long time to get there. but he now fully understands that being prince harry, he can make people's lives better by putting his name to things. he's making a difference. >> through it all, harry has endeared himself to the public, becoming one of the most popular members of the royal family. >> harry is incredibly likeable and he is incredibly genuine. what you see is what you get. he is so natural with people, much more, i think he's the most natural member of the family. he throws out the rule book.
4:57 pm
>> and that makes him enormously valuable to the monarchy. >> the court the courtiers at b palace used to say, what are you going to do about harry? now they're saying, what are you going to do with harry, because harry is a magic bullet. >> as harry helps carrier the monarchy forward he will continue to do things his own way, like proposing to the woman he loves, not someone british royalty might expect. >> i think it's a wonderful coincidence that harry has fallen in love with somebody who is american, mixed race, divorced, and a career woman. she is very representative of our society today. and i think that makes the monarchy much more user friendly. >> and in meghan, harry has found someone who can copy with the role and is not afraid of the spotlight. >> meghan was utterly enchanting
4:58 pm
when she appeared for the first time in nottingham. she behaved as if she had had been doing it all her life. >> today harry and meghan got married here on the grounds of windsor castle in st. george's castle, a very traditional wedding for this very modern royal couple. >> the meghan and harry love story is a terrific story. it has unlimited fairy tale appeal. >> she does what she feels comes naturally. harry is the most relaxed member of the royal family. >> do you see any scenario by which harry and meghan overshadow kate and william? >> oh, yes, i do. immediately that was my first thought, this could be a problem. because harry and meghan are a very compelling couple. they're very charismatic. and very relaxed and easy. the cameras will follow them. william and kate are -- there's
4:59 pm
much more rigidity to them, as possibly t has to be, because he is going to be king. >> for some who have known the family well, harry and meghan will play a critical role in the monarchy's future. >> the world's view of the british monarchy is probably going to be determined more by harry and meghan than by william and kate, certainly than by charles and camilla. that's a very unusual situation. >> the royal family need harry to bridge the gap between the people and the monarchy, because without that connection, the royal family wouldn't survive. >> as he has his whole life, prince harry will likely continue to be a star in the royal show. with his irresistible appeal, down to earth charm, and like his mother, a natural ability to connect. with makieghan by his side, thi modern royal couple are on course to redefine britain's

5:04 pm
information about what prince harry is wearing. >> prince harry in december of last year was made a capital general of the royal marines. that is his most senior military title. as you mentioned, he was in the blues and royals, he served in afghanistan two terms. you now has this honorary role he took over from his grandfather prince philip in december. prince harry has said he often feels he's 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. >> it's interesting because harry had to get permission from the queen to wear that uniform. she gave the permission, he chose it, and there he is. there were a range of uniforms he could have chosen, the cavalry won that he famously wore to prince william's wedding. he's trying to wear different
5:05 pm
uniforms to different events. >> it against protocol to wear a beard? >> there are exceptions to the rule, of course harry being who he is, an exception was made. i think this is a really nice tribute to prince philip. >> and i really believe the beard might be a small thing or a silly thing that the internet was debating about, but it goes to show they really just want to uphold what they want to do, traditional aside. >> you'll notice as well if you look closely, prince william is also wearing the garter star because he is a knight of garter, unlike harry. this is his spiritual home. >> and the horse shoe. >> yes. you can see there, various members of the public there, that is the hot ticket for members of the public. once this wedding is over, harry and meghan will walk down those steps and meet these people. >> there is some belief that's
5:06 pm
where they have their first kiss. >> at the top of the stairs. they will be waved off by the rest of the family in their carriages. when you see these guys on these steps, spare a thought for meghan markle. >> in heels. >> many of the public in that horse shoe, they work for various charters associated with the royal family. >> yes. if you study them, they will be the charities and causes that they continue to support and will define the future of their royal roles. this is the dean of the chapel, it was described earlier by someone this is called 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 this is a very personal church to her, the church she most often attends. >> let's listen in inside. ♪

before you begin an aspirin regimen. the walk is just done, it's 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 very senior members of the royal family. and the next to arrive should be prince charles and the duchess of cornwall. they are the next. they are due to arrive at about 11:42. if i'm not many of, it's probably 11:42 now. >> and here we go. >> this is going to happen like clockwork. >> when william was getting
5:12 pm
married, harry decided, he had to think, he was very nervous, he slept for half an hour, he slight decided to walk him down the ice recall then nip into a small room on the left because he didn't want him to wait for kate to come. that would be too stressful. he cracked jokes, he calmed him, and when kate was coming, he whispered in his here. i wonder whether william did the same for harry. >> this is what i mean, seeing these brothers together, obviously we know the heartbreak they suffered with their mother's death. and seeing their support for each other. >> the very closeness. and now to dispense with the stiff upper lip, they hug each other, harry said to me. they're very demonstrative in their affection for each other which would not have happened a decade or so earlier. >> it's incredible, this royal wedding, to think we won't see another royal wedding like this for another 20 or 30 years until
5:13 pm
we see george or charlotte get married. the queen adores a wedding but this is poignant because it will be her last wedding. and it will be so many -- we won't see another for so long, this pageantry and pomp and the wonderful vision of the two brothers. >> the long walk, this is after the ceremony and the service, the couple will take their procession in the open landau. >> tell me what we're seeing in terms of this car. >> we're coming up to 11:42. it's the car carrying their royal highnesses, the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall. they will arrive as the others have arrived. they will be greeted by the vice dean who will then of course escort them in. to put it in plain language, you're looking at the father of the groom and his stepmother. >> yes. that's prince charles and
5:14 pm
camilla parker-bowles. this is carefully orchestrated and choreographed. you said 11:42, it is 11:41. >> right, and at the same time, 11:45, doria ragland, the mother of the bride, is due to arrive. the car carrying meghan and her mother, we saw it leave but we didn't see it arrive, i suspect so we don't see any more of it. at 11:52, her majesty the queen will arrive. >> what color will she be wearing? she's turned all these colors since turning 90. >> the bookies are saying blue. >> i believe yellow. >> but she wore blue for diana
5:15 pm
wedding, the queen mother wore blue. >> i think hot pink. >> hot pink, yellow, blue. >> the music that we are enjoying is a selection from the suite from "fantasia" on greensleeves, ralph vaughan williams. and elgar's serenade for strings. the music gets really interesting later on. >> we understand harry and meghan have been instrumental, no pun intended, in picking the music. they have put their imprimatur on this ceremony from start to finish. the music in particular they were very interested in. >> they discussed it with prince charles, he must have been delighted, apparently they talked to him about what he felt was appropriate from previous marriages. they've tried to balance that. then of course there's gospel choir. they have the english now, then it will get more american. >> the timing, the
5:16 pm
orchestration, the management of this event, so it is literally going to go just perfect. meghan markle is on her way. >> can't wait. >> going back to that blimp of a tiara, i'm guessing it's a new piece. it didn't look familiar to me. i could be wrong. by process of elimination, i don't think it's one that we've seen. >> you have a talmudic knowledge of tiaras. >> the fringe has vertical bars, the lotus has a peak on the top. the strathmore goes on the forehead. this didn't look like any of those to me. >> an amazing geometric design i've never seen. >> the bride is about to go
5:17 pm
right past anderson's location. we will want to know what anderson can see, looking through the window, anderson, 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 very shortly. i can tell you there are thousands of people. >> here comes the police, that means it's coming. >> the motorcycle outrider just from where we are right now. but there are people who have been waiting a very long time. they're starting to wave a lot of the flags, all eyes. >> it will erupt, you wait, it will be like a volcano erupting down the long walk. >> let's listen in, actually. [ cheering ] >> it's amazing.
5:18 pm
>> now you see the >> you can get a really good view. >> oh, yeah. doria ragland, the mother, is not in white. it looks like -- >> green? >> mint green? i'll trust you on that. >> meghan looks excited to see the crowds. >> what's happened right here? >> here she is, the vehicle coming on what's known as the long walk, approaching st. george's chapel, approaching windsor castle. it's an extraordinary site. as you see, just thousands and thousands of people. it's an incredible site. >> anderson, this is interesting, because there were polls last week saying a section of the country doesn't care, they're not interested. of course there are always going to be people who aren't into this, who think it's fake hul a
5:19 pm
hullabal hullabaloo. but it's an amazing thing to witness. >> for me, this is the story of the crowd. these people, some of them i met the other day, they've been here for a long time. and they are people who are really, really dedicated to this family. it's an amazing kind of medieval thing in strange way to see. we don't have it in the states. >> i know earlier we said that doria was wearing white. i actually think she's wearing mint green. i'm going to take a gas that her hat is actually made by [ inaudible ]. >> there you heard it. the next big thing in food was once a little paper box. now we can easily take out food from a restaurant. let's stay in and binge-watch the snow. genius. now, the next big thing is e capital one savor card. earn 3% cash back on dining, 2% on groceries, and 1% on all other purchases. proven to protect street skaters and freestylers.

i want to make a symbolic moment here, she drives through these gates, driving to the palace as a single woman. she's going to come out of that palace as a duchess, a baroness, technically a princess. >> and her life will never be the same again. >> that extraordinary sort of entrance says it all, doesn't it? i think the grounds that are the
5:24 pm
most beautiful, buckingham palace doesn't come close. >> buckingham palace is the essential home of the british monarchy. but windsor is loaded with family memories. it's loaded with rich royal history. it's an amazing backdrop for this union. you can see where harry and meghan chose it. at first i thought how will windsor copy with the sheer numbers of people that will descend. >> a rare glimpse into the private quarters. so that is where the public is normally allowed. >> princ harry is inside with prince william as best man. >> he knows the camera is looking at him. >> a little nervous, perhaps. >> these two, just to have -- i think throughout this country, throughout great britain, people have grown up watching these two men grow up. >> there's a tremendous
5:25 pm
affection for these two men. i think they both embody the best qualities of both parents. diana gave them the common touch. she introduced them to a world that's not as privileged as theirs to make them understand the position that they hold. she took them to the high street. charles gave them the other side, the rich country life they both enjoy. conservati conservation, fishing. it's an even match of both parents. kate and meghan are the only two to know what it's like to be them. these two are the only ones to know what it's like to be them. >> this is where meghan will walk from the nave into the choir. you'll see when this transpires that charles will pick her up at the beginning of this part of the aisle, then walk meghan to the end, and hand over, effectively, to harry. she's giving herself away, anderson, which hasn't really been done, we don't think, in a royal wedding before.
5:26 pm
i don't think actually meghan is going out of her way to make a statement, but it is a statement, because it's what she wants. it's the kind of person she is. these two guys, imagine the nerves. >> st. george's chapel is where harry was baptized. >> yes, where he was christened. there's a lot of rich family history here. close family members, the queen's parents, her grandparents, her great-brand parents. it's a large chapel, some people think it's ridiculous that it's called a chapel because of how large it seems, but it's actually an intimate setting. >> also the bond between these two brothers, prince harry has talked publicly about and bomb have talked about publicly about the impact of their mother's death when they were so young. it changed prince harry tremendously, perhaps even more than william. >> it was extraordinary last
5:27 pm
year in particular how open they were on behalf of their mental health campaign. harry said it was william who encouraged him to seek counseling. the fact that harry shared those deeply personal stories, we hadn't seen royals speak that intimately about themselves. of course if a person is struggling themselves with a metal health issue, it suddenly makes it not taboo. >> seeing them as well in these military uniforms, harry has spoken about how both of them are deeplywedded to the military. william wasn't ultimately loud to the front line, harry was. >> he's sixth in line to the throne. >> he's after louis. he'll keep going down the line. i would call it a co-monarchy going ahead. i know that's a bold thing to say, but they're slimming down the monarchy, those two. there's a deal between those two that harry will support william in something that he feels is a
5:28 pm
huge burden, but he's going to do it. this isn't just the number two to him. this is urinary the mond, you k going forward. meghan will too. >> this is prince charles and the duchess of cornwall arriv g arriving. >> prince charles will take meghan through that last part of the aisle. i was asking questions about that, about the symbolism there. they said very simply, it's him welcoming her into the royal family because it's a hallowed place, the choir. the royal family will be sitting there. he's going to take her in. that's an honor for both of them. >> i think it's a beautiful way as well to show the -- >> there's meghan markle's -- >> her mother. >> you were right, pale green. >> meghan markle has faced
5:29 pm
tremendous vitriol and abuse. but you get so finer seal of approval, how much the royal family is keen to welcome her in. i think they love that she's hit the ground running and has taken part in so many engagements already. >> now we know the order, ms. ragland is in there, we now know the order will be that charles miller will go in next, then the queen and philip, then meghan and two page boys and behind them will be cars with the other page boys and flower girls. and their mothers, including the duchess. >> chaos reigns. >> there have been a couple of rehearsals and none of them have worked because of the kids. you've seen a 2-year-old climbing up 20 steps, anderson? >> i have not, i'm looking forward to it. >> the fact that he's walking her down the aisle doesn't surprise me. >> i think she looks fabulous,
5:30 pm
look at that hat. >> a lot of people are quite critical and understandably, considering the narrative. but i spent a lot of time with her, i spent time with her at balmoral, i did her first tv interview. it doesn't come across on tv but she's got amazing charisma. she's the one royal who will come up to the press pack and say hi. >> here is the queen. >> is she in green or yellow? >> pale green, sea green. >> the queen is always in a bold color because obviously she's quite little and get a way she will be seen by the most amount of people. she wears it well. >> a lot of bright colors today, a lot of blush pink, like the duchess of cornwall, like serena williams. >> an amazing sequence, prince philip by her side, the oldest serving consort in british history. he's been with here, albeit two
5:31 pm
steps behind, every step of the way. lovely that he could make it today. >> it's interesting, i've learned that here in windsor, he runs things behind the scenes. he runs windsor, the estates, he makes the decisions behind the scenes. he's behind her out in public. i think that's fascinating, baugh meghan will have to get her head around that as well, step back behind harry sometimes and also kate. >> i love that doria ragland and the queen are in the same colors, that is fabulous. i wear green as well, so it all works. >> clearly you got the memo. >> i got the memo. >> that's very interesting, because generally that sort of match -- >> you would never think this man has had hip surgery a month ago. he's 96 years old. ♪

6:09 pm
don't underestimate it. don't even oversentiment lize it. 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. oh, there's power. power in love. not just in the romantic form but any form, any shape of love. there's a certain sense in which when you are loved and you know it. when someone cares for you and you know it. when you love and you show it. it actually feels right. there's something right about it. and there's a reason for it.
6:10 pm
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 that love. that's why we are here. ultimately, the source of love is god himself. theource of all of our lives. there's no mid-evil poem that says where true love is found, god himself is there. the new testament say it is this way, beloved, let us love one another because love is of god and those who love are born of god and know god. those who do not love, do not know god. why? for god is love. there's power in love. there's power in love to help and heal when nothing else can.
6:11 pm
there's power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will. there's power in love to show us the way to live. set me as a seal on your heart. a seal on your arm. for love, it is strong as death. but love is not only about a young couple. now, the power of love is demonstrated by the fact that we are all here. two young people fell in love and we all showed up. but 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 asked by a lawyer to sum up the teachings of moses and went back into the hebrew scriptures to deuteronomy and leviticus saying you should love the lord oh god with all of your strength. this is the first commandment and the second is love thigh neighbor and 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 scripture. 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
6:13 pm
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 some power. real power. power to change the world. if you don't believe me, well, there's more slaves in america's antibell lum south who explained the dynamic power of love and why it transforms. they sang a spiritual in the midst of their captivity t. is one that says -- there's a healing balm that can make
6:14 pm
things right. there's a balm in gilead to heal the soul and explains why. if you not preach like peter and cannot pray like paul, tell the love of jesus how he died to save us all. that's gilead. this way of love is the way of life. they got it. he died to save us all. he didn't die for anything he can get out of it. jesus didn't get an honorary doctorate for dying. he didn't get anything out of it. he gave up his life and sacrificed his life for the good of others. for the well being of the world for us. that is what love is. love is not selfish and self-centered. love can be sacrificial and in
6:15 pm
so doing, becomes 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 or 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 the way. when love is the way. unselfish sacrificial, redemptive when love is the way. no child will go to bed hungry in this world ever again. when love is the way, we will justice roll down like a mighty stream and righteousness like an ever flowing brooke. poverty will become history and when love is the way, the earth will be the 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
6:17 pm
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. my brothers and sisters, that's a new heaven. a new earth. a new world. a new human family. and let me tell you something, oh solomon was right in the old testament, that's fire. and with this i will sit down.

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.
7:15 pm
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
7:16 pm
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.
7:17 pm
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

7:23 pm
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
7:24 pm
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 "stand by me" it 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 a very devout woman. she's the head of the church of england. 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

>> we have all been watching this moment, hankies in hand, watching this real-life fairytale unfold. this is an american girl 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
7:31 pm
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.
7:32 pm
>> 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. meghan, we saw that in the ceremony, an absolutely electrifying address, the gospel choir and the fact that there were intimate touches. she was holding his hand. he pushed back the veil. it was so romantic. they are completely devoted to each other. i think it's important to remember these men on the horseback, they are serving soldiers. 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
7:33 pm
thousands of people, there are crowds, the monarchy is alive and living and modernizing 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 northwestern.
7:34 pm
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. first of all, i find her so compelling to look at. she's obviously beautiful. but also the poise.
7:35 pm
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.
7:36 pm
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.
7:37 pm
>> 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. it. (vo) what if we could go back? what if our car... could stop itself? in iihs front-end crash prevention testing, nobody beats the subaru impreza. not toyota. not honda. not ford.

7:39 pm
7:41 pm
>> there was some highlights after the ceremony. they told us the bishop speaking, nay thought it was brilliant. perhaps it went on too long, but they felt this was something the royal family needed to hear. another one of the highlight, seeing meghan markle get out of the carriage when she had that long train. the two page boys, twin sons, jessica mulrooney, one of her best friends in canada. she had a hand in picking out the dres. she had a hand in just about every aspect of planning this
7:42 pm
wedding. her sons, brian and john, both 7 years old, 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 wear. she's wearing the queen mary tiara, which is simpler. it's on loan to her from the queen from 1932 and about center broach.
7:43 pm
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 t. >> 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. but at the same time, you can see that perfect marriage, no pun intended. 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 hall, is
7:44 pm
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
