The documentary has been pre-sold to TV4 in Sweden, YLE in Finland, TV2 in Denmark, NRK in Norway, and BBC Poland. Discussions for deals in other regions are currently being held.

The deal with BBC Poland was closed by Lucy Rawson, VP, Sales, Africa, CEE, Middle East, and Southern Mediterranean.
Cineflix Rights's partnership with Finestripe Productions is long-standing. Together, the two companies have sold several documentaries worldwide, which include "Diana: The Day the World Cried," "The Day We Walked on the Moon," "Inside Dior," and "The Day Kennedy Died." “'The Day Will and Kate Got Married' is a timely look at one of the highest-profile couples in the world, and we’re confident it will be equally popular with audiences globally,” McCormick said.
Marking the tenth wedding anniversary of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the 60-minute episode for ITV in the UK celebrates the tenth anniversary of one of the world’s most talked-about couples and reveals the inside story of a star-studded wedding that captivated the globe.
