From royal guest lists to public displays of affection and dress regulations, this fascinating special will include revealing interviews from royal experts, exclusive insider stories from former palace staff and close friends, as well as exciting archive footage and photos that expose the secrets and traditions of a royal wedding.

Harry & Meghan: (The) Royal Rebels is produced by Emporium Productions for Lifetime with Emma Read (Emporium Productions) and Kimberly Chessler (Lifetime) executive producing.

Kate Middleton: Uncommon Bride
Premieres May 13 at 11:20 pm ET/PT

Kate Middleton is living a real life fairytale. She is stunning, stylish and married to her prince charming, but to some, Kate was an unlikely choice for a royal bride. As a descendant of coal-miners, Kate lacked royal blood, but had another advantage – a family history of ambition and determination that propelled the Middleton’s from the depths of a British coal mine to Windsor Castle. Although she is now The Duchess of Cambridge, a fashion icon, a mother of three and the future Queen of England, she will always be known as Kate Middleton, just a regular English girl who fell in love with her prince from afar and then captured his heart.

Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance: Special Edition

William & Kate

Rebroadcast May 15 at 10pm ET/PT

William & Kate tells the story of how the friendship between Prince William (Nico Evers-Swindell), second in line to the throne of the British monarchy, and future princess Kate Middleton (Camilla Luddington), the stunning daughter of upper middle-class commoners, blossomed into a romantic love affair, charming the world with their engagement and royal wedding. The film chronicles the history of William and Kate — from the moment they met at Scotland’s prestigious University of St. Andrews, through the ups and downs of their nine-year courtship complicated by social and Royal Family pressures, and overwhelming media attention surrounding their storybook nuptials. William & Kate also stars Ben Cross (Star Trek, Chariots of Fire) as Prince Charles, Serena Scott-Thomas (The World Is Not Enough) as Carole Middleton, Richard Reid (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) as Derek and Victoria Tennant (L.A. Story) as Celia.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
