Want to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal wedding? Here’s how to do that.

It’s only a matter of days before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding occurs. If you’re living in the UK, watching the wedding is easy peasy. If you’re in the United States, you’ll have to get up very early. On the Eastern Seaboard, The UK is 6 hours ahead. If you’re in California, I think it’s about 9 hours ahead of time. If you’re in Paris, it’s an hour less. This whole time and math thing is confusing!
