Some 17.1 million Americans watched Oprah Winfrey s bombshell television interview with Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, broadcaster CBS said on Monday.
CBS said Sunday s two-hour interview, in which Harry and Meghan accused the royal family of racism and of failing to protect them from negative media coverage, drew the biggest audience for any entertainment special since the Oscars telecast in February 2020, which was watched by 23.6 million viewers.
It was also the most-watched non Super Bowl event on a Sunday in prime time in over a year, CBS said. The National Football League s Super Bowl regularly draws an audience of around 100 million and is the highest-rated TV event in the United States.
