William, Kate and 8 Royal Weddings

Saturday July 2 at 7 pm ET on CBC News Network

While the world waits for Prince William and Kate Middleton to tie the Royal knot, this documentary revels in the glamour and spectacle of the previous Royal Wedding days - behind-the-scenes anecdotes, interviews with Royal wedding-dress designers, memories from Royal bridesmaids, and stunning archive capturing the beauty, pageantry but also the intimacy of all the Royal Weddings since Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Philip in 1947.

Expert commentators set the scene with observations on the social context and significance of the weddings of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and of course, Charles, Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer, as well as the tragic funeral that followed 18 years later. 

The film features the best moments from the courtships, the engagement announcements, the wedding preparations, the ceremonies, the public parades and the first moments as Royal husband and wife, and anticipates the next Royal Nuptials, those of the handsome young heir to the British throne, Prince William and his gorgeous girlfriend Kate Middleton.
