There’s no question that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s big interview with Oprah Winfrey was explosive, and it looks like that’s especially clear if you look at the ratings. The two-hour special scored CBS higher ratings than this year’s Emmys and Golden Globes.
All eyes were on Meghan and Harry as they got real with Oprah about their Royal exit… to be specific, 17-million eyes. That’s how many viewers the special had according to Nielsen’s TV ratings scale. For a comparison, CBS averaged 6-point-five-million viewers in prime time the previous Sunday.
Other than CBS’ new drama “The Equalizer,” which debuted after the Super Bowl, the Oprah interview is reportedly “the biggest audience for any non-sports program” on the network this season.
