Harry & Meghan's Royal Wedding Playlist

Featuring Wilson Pickett, Whitney Houston and the Spice Girls, our royal wedding playlist is the perfect party soundtrack!

When it came to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding the ceremony artists really were inspired! But as much as we love a gospel choir, what we really wanted to know was which classic pop bangers the couple bust a move to on the night of the royal wedding! Meghan says she wanted the music to be "fun" above all, and while unfortunately, no tipsy guests broke protocol by posting Insta Stories from the dancefloor, we know that their first dance was to Wilson Pickett's 1966 hit, Land of 1000 Dances. We thought we'd have a go at creating our own royal wedding playlist with a few insider nuggets of what was actually played, courtesy of the couple's recent Netflix documentary and some loose-lipped guests! We also mixed Meghan's incredibly cool taste, as showcased on her lifestyle website The Tig, with Harry's penchant for a cheesy floorfiller, threw in a few tongue-in-cheek Brit and US hits, and came up with something that might even give you inspiration for your own day!

Meghan & Prince Harry's Wedding Playlist

Some artists were chosen because they're pals of the happy couple and even performed (Hey, Elton John!), others because Idris Elba included them in his DJ set for the couple on the night (apparently Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody "went off!"), and a few because they've got the seal of approval from the clan in the form of royal honours (Shirley Bassey and Paul McCartney, please step up!). We really hope that our royal wedding playlist gets you in the mood for a boogie! And Meghan and Harry, if you're reading this, feel free to dance around your kitchen... Just make sure you're following us on Spotify first!
