And for those of you who don't want to get up before or at the crack of dawn, the footage will be recorded and available for viewing later in the day.

Google Earth is also getting in on the action, offering a "Royals'-eye" view of the wedding procession route in 3D.

Befitting of a 21st century wedding, Will and Kate announced their engagement to the world via the @ClarenceHouse Twitter account last fall.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile has previewed the Royal Wedding with a commercial that parodies the infamous YouTube clip of Jill and Kevin's Big Day.
