We’re proud to announce that Fiona Macdonald, author of ‘Royal Weddings, A Very Peculiar History’, is interviewed in an upcoming BBC One programme celebrating the Royal Wedding.

It’s called ‘The Royal Wedding: When Royals Wed’ and it’ll be broadcast at 9am on Easter Monday, 25th April.

From the BBC Press Office:

‘Larry Lamb and Lesley Garrett present a history of royal weddings from Victorian times to present day, in When Royals Wed. This four-part, archive-rich, magazine series for BBC One Daytime explores the different elements of royal weddings from courtship and guest lists to the big day itself.

Taking in two centuries of social history from 1840, when Queen Victoria’s nuptials distantly enthralled the nation, the series offers a view not just of royal marriages but also of the Britain they took place in.

It shows how royal weddings have influenced other people’s special days; the personal stories of couples who married on the same day as royalty; how royal courtships developed; and the State’s role in arranging them on occasion.

When Royals Wed is a fresh look at Britain’s past through the ever-present fascination with how and who Royals marry.’
