Leading the coverage for BBC One will be presenting team Kirsty Young, Huw Edwards, Dermot O’Leary, Tina Daheley, Alex Jones, Ore Oduba and Anita Rani.
Kick-starting the weekend coverage on Friday night will be The Royal Wedding: They’re Getting Married In The Morning; a live look-ahead programme on BBC One from 7-8pm. Kirsty, Huw and Dermot will bring the latest news on the eve of the big day. This celebratory show will gather a mix of guests from around the world and hear from people playing key roles in the wedding - how they have prepared for the day and any last minute preparations. The programme will look at how the world’s media are getting ready for the broadcast of the year and hear from people already in Windsor awaiting the big day.
On the morning of the wedding, Kirsty and Dermot will be based by the moat outside Windsor Castle, while Huw will be on the roof of the Guard Room within the walls of Windsor Castle. Both locations place the BBC at the very heart of proceedings with views of the Castle and the gathering crowds. The three presenters will capture the build-up and anticipation of the ceremony and the atmosphere in Windsor as thousands arrive to get the best vantage point. Specially-invited guests will share memories of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and there will be insight and analysis from Royal and fashion experts.
They will chat to wedding guests as they enter the Chapel, meet some of those lucky enough to have a ticket and talk to people who have come to catch a glimpse of the bride and groom’s carriage procession.
Tina, Alex, Ore and Anita will be situated around Windsor to capture the stories, excitement and reactions of the day.
Kirsty Young says: "They're a couple who seem to have captured the goodwill of the world. Yet at the heart of this national event is a very personal, modern day love story. It looks set to be a royal wedding like no other and I’m very pleased indeed to be part of the BBC One team sharing it with the nation."
The coverage, The Royal Wedding: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, produced by BBC Studios Events will air on BBC One and BBC One HD on Saturday 19 May, 9am-2pm. The live broadcast will also be shown on the BBC News Channel and streamed live on BBC iPlayer.
The BBC will also bring its live coverage of the Royal Wedding ceremony direct to the nation with big screens situated throughout the UK, including in Belfast, Salisbury, Leeds, Swansea, Winchester and Portsmouth, allowing communities to come together and share in the big day.
Later in the evening, BBC Two will look back on the day with live programme, The Royal Wedding: Highlights of the Day on Saturday 19 May, 6.30-8pm.
Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content, says: "BBC One will be at the very heart of the Royal Wedding coverage, bringing the nation together to share and celebrate this special occasion. It is a real honour for the BBC to be the host broadcaster for the ceremony and with such an exceptional line-up of presenters on BBC One it promises to be an exciting and memorable moment for everyone tuning in."
Social media users will be invited to join in with @BBCOne - contributing messages of congratulations for the couple, sharing how they might be celebrating the event and even memories of their own big day. In each of the BBC’s three live programmes, the presenters will take a look at the messages, photos and videos coming in as the nation joins together to celebrate.
BBC Breakfast will be waking up the nation live from Windsor on Saturday 19 May. The eyes of the world will be watching as Carol Kirkwood gives the all-important weather forecast for the day, and Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt will be building up to the big event with special reports and features. They will chat to experts, meet seasoned Royal watchers, and mingle with guests from both sides of the Atlantic as excitement builds towards the start of the official ceremony.
In the week leading up to the wedding, BBC One Daytime series Royal Recipes will see presenter Michael Buerk and chefs Anna Haugh and Paul Ainsworth mark the forthcoming wedding by recreating Royal Wedding dishes past and present. There will also be another chance to watch Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s engagement interview with Mishal Husain on BBC One on Tuesday 8 May, 11.40pm-midnight, and on BBC iPlayer.
