It’s time for another royal wedding, and there’s nothing like a transatlantic love story to captivate the masses. This time, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot, there have never been so many ways to tune in. You can watch the royal wedding online via several network broadcasts in multiple countries no matter where you are in the globe.
As staunch advocates for a borderless, free Internet, we created this safe streaming guide to help our royal family fans (including those who’d prefer not to admit it) check out this historic moment while browsing safely and privately behind strong encryption.
Royal wedding schedule
The royal wedding ceremony is scheduled for 12 p.m. BST (British Standard Time) on Saturday, May 19. It will be held in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle outside London. Networks will begin broadcasting well before noon, however. The first guests will arrive around 9 a.m. BST. After the ceremony, there will be a half-hour procession.

Here’s a time zone converter(nueva ventana) to figure out what time the royal wedding starts where you are. For American viewers, the wedding beings at 7AM New York.
