"Capturing the words and music of this Royal Wedding is a great responsibility, knowing how much a permanent record of the event will mean to so many people around the world," said multi-Grammy-nominated classical producer Anna Barry, who will oversee Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Wedding record. She promised a "state of the art recording which captures every nuance of this very happy day."
