The 1923 wedding of the Duke of York (later King George VI) to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was a major event, but BBC managers feared that broadcasting it on radio would lead to a breach of etiquette. They worried that listeners at home might keep their hats on indoors a sign of disrespect simply because no one could see them. Ultimately, the wedding was broadcast after all, but only after a polite on-air reminder that men should remove their hats.
