Pomp and Matrimony

The Documentary

Available for over a year

To celebrate the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton, we look back through the archive of British Royal weddings. From the news coverage of the 1923 wedding of the future King George VI to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, to the moment Lady Diana Spencer stepped out of the glass coach in *that* dress, we look back to the glamour, the gossip, the spectacle and the romance.
