A royal wedding
Royal wedding fever has gripped not only Britain, but a global audience.
It is the most anticipated wedding of the year. On Friday, the UK’s Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton finally tie the knot in a ceremony watched by around two billion people around the world – that is nearly one-third of the world’s population.

On Wednesday’s Riz Khan we take a look at the monarchy, its relevance in the modern world, the cultural peculiarities of the British paraphernalia and the momentary power to distract from a country in recession.
Comedian Jon Holmes and impersonator Steve Nallon join us for a lighthearted take on the event.
You can join the conversation. Watch the show live on Wednesday, April 27, at 1930GMT. Repeats can be seen on Thursday at 0430GMT, 0830GMT and 1430GMT.
