US Networks Want Lights On for Royal Wedding
Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 20 April 2011 9:16 AM
Leave a light on. That’s the plea US TV networks are leveling at Buckingham Palace in the lead up to next weekend’s royal wedding reports the New York Post this morning. Lights that illuminate the Palace’s exterior are to be switched off at 12:30 am, right when prime-time coverage begins in America. Networks want the lights kept on so they can use the Palace as a backdrop for their stand-ups. Sources say royal officials have already acquiesced, pushing back “lights out” from its usual 11:00 pm to the later 12:30. But that’s as far as they’re willing to go—they say having the lights on all night make it impossible for the staff to get a good night’s sleep.
