Harry & Meghan no TV match for William & Kate

-

RATINGS for the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were a third LOWER than those for the marriage of Harry’s brother William to Kate Middleton.

A combined audience of 11.5million people watched Harry and Meghan (above) tie the knot on May 19 – 8.9m on BBC One and 2.6m on ITV.

But 17.6m tuned in for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011 – 13.6m on BBC One and 4m on ITV.

It means the combined audience for Harry’s wedding was 35 per cent down on the equivalent figure for his brother.

Harry also failed to pull in as many viewers as his uncle Prince Edward, whose wedding in June 1999 to Sophie, Countess of Wessex, enjoyed a combined BBC One/ ITV audience of 14.8m.

The new figures – published by Barb – are consolidat­ed ratings, and include those who recorded the wedding and watched it up to seven days later. LOS Angeles’ full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncul­a TOP-heavy totty Claudia Romani was BURSTING to get out on the beach yesterday as she soaked up the sun on a rare visit to Bournemout­h.

The 36-year-old cover girl model, who has filled the front pages of the world’s most famous men’s magazines, took time out of her busy schedule to spend a few hours chilling in the hot British weather.

Let’s hope it’s not long before those magnificen­t norks are out again!
