Millions of Americans and Britons watched interview Harry and Meghan | Entertainment

entertainment">The number of viewers in America increased during the conversation. In the first hour there were 16.9 million viewers, in the second 17.3 million. This means that the number of viewers was twice as many as the most viewed program in a normal week, writes The New York Times. This can also add up to people who look back at a later date. Broadcaster CNN calls it ‘a huge number’ in the fragmented American television landscape, especially compared to the average 6.5 million viewers on primetime Sunday night a week earlier.

entertainment">In the United Kingdom, the peak was at 12.3 million viewers. The interview was shown there on the British channel ITV.

entertainment">In the Netherlands, the conversation can be seen on Net5 on Tuesday evening at 8.30 pm. The Belgian channel One sent the conversation with Harry in Meghan Monday night already out. It is still unknown how many viewers this has attracted.
