It looks like you won't have to sneak your way into the royal wedding after all—Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials will be televised, a spokesperson for the pair confirmed.
"The couple of course want the day to be a special, celebratory moment for their friends and family," the rep said. "They also want the day to be shaped so as to allow members of the public to feel part of the celebrations too and are currently working through ideas for how this might be achieved."
It's too early to tell exactly where the wedding will be broadcast, but the viewer count will likely be insanely high, if it's anything like previous royal weddings. Prince William and Kate Middleton garnered almost 23 million viewers in the U.S. alone when they wed in 2011, and Princess Diana and Prince Charles had 17 million viewers when they tied the knot in 1981. Will Harry and Meghan's ceremony be the most-watched royal wedding yet?
The couple just announced their engagement yesterday, but royal fans of the couple already seem eager to know what they have planned for their nuptials. So far, we know it'll take place at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in May 2018, though a date has not been chosen yet.
"This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters of the bride and groom," Harry and Meghan's spokesperson added. We can't wait to watch (and cry) along.
