The BBC’s hour-long documentary, Royal Wedding: A Day to Remember, will be broadcast on 30 April, 10 years after their wedding.

It also features the accounts of members of the public who travelled to London to witness the couple’s first kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
CEO of homeless charity Centrepoint, Seyi Obakin, was a guest at the wedding of the charity’s patron Prince William.
Obakin remarked: “You could just see in their faces the excitement of the day, but in his face, the pride that he’d come to this point, this position, in which he’s getting married to somebody that he truly loves.”
The special television programme will also reveal how, on the eve of the wedding, Prince Harry and William treated a group of friends to an impromptu walkabout.
In their 10 years of marriage, William and Kate have had three children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
They have also carried out their royal duties, undertaking 50 patronages between them and raising awareness about issues such as mental health and conservation.
