It is Wednesday 29 July 1981, and England is getting married. From St Paul’s Cathedral to the outskirts of Buckingham Palace, the jubilant crowds exult. Two million of them have been gathering, sometimes for days. But it is in front of the screens that another scene is played out, 750 million TV viewers eager to participate in the media delirium are glued to their sets. Making it one of the most watched television events in the world to this day. The wedding saw the marriage of Prince Charles, pretender to the throne, and Diana Frances Spencer, daughter of Viscount Althorp. They have been together for three years, covered by the press and public opinion, and the Queen has endorsed the romance, a perfect marketing coup by Albion’s chief puppeteer.
