THERE’LL be plenty going on at the royal wedding next Saturday, but we can guarantee there’s one thing viewers won’t see.
Queen Elizabeth II has banned drones from flying over Windsor throughout Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s nuptials due to concerns over privacy and security.
Thames Valley Police reportedly requested a Restriction of Flying Regulation order amid fears that the newlyweds’ royal carriage procession could be filmed from above using the unmanned aerial vehicles. It was granted for both Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th May, in order to protect any overnight guests leaving the evening reception.
It’s not the first time drones have been banned from a royal event. A similar no-fly zone was imposed over Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Norfolk home in late November 2015, while the Queen implements the rule at Sandringham every year from December 1 to March 1 while she’s hosting her family.
