The Royal Wedding Schedule

Stay up-to-date on the royal wedding! Even if you’re not going to get up at 5 a.m. to start watching the arrivals, set your DVR for 6 a.m., so you can catch Kate making her big entrance. And then maybe as you’re making coffee and heading out the door, you can catch the 8:30 a.m. flyover at Buckingham Palace. Here are all the details you need for the morning of the wedding:

7:00 p.m (SYD).: The VIP arrivals begin! The Royal Family gathers at Buckingham Palace. Guests will have started arriving as early as 8 a.m. GMT, and basically arrive in order of least important to most (with Kate being the last to arrive).

7:20 p.m: Kate’s mother and brother leave Goring Hotel.

7:38 p.m: Prince of Wales leaves Clarence House.
