In 1981, “The Wedding of Charles and Diana” Only a few thousand people received invitations to Saint Paulʹs Cathedral for the royal nuptials. But 750 million showed up — via worldwide TV, including throngs in this country who got up in the middle of the night to witness all the glorious pomp. First, the processional, as carriages conveyed Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, princes Charles and Andrew, and finally, Lady Diana Spencer past the cheering crowds from Buckingham Palace. Then the breathtaking ceremony. A camera affixed to the cathedral ceiling provided a magnificent tableau: the bride making her way down the aisle, the long white train of her gown flowing behind her as the organ played, a chorus sang, and the man who would be king awaited her at the altar. After conducting the vows, the Archbishop of Canterbury expressed a universal sentiment, noting, “This is the stuff of which fairy tales are made.”
