That's 1/20 of US population, 1/6 of UK population. ITV streaming adds 2.2M. I'll guess Canada is 1/10 or 3M. Also guessing a few million UK pirates watched the CBS version.

Piers "quit" GMB on ITV Monday. Maybe CNN needs another media troll.

Among the most outspoken media personalities in Britain was Piers Morgan, who used his Good Morning Britain breakfast news show — also on ITV — to attack both royals. "I don’t believe a word she says," he said on Monday. "I wouldn’t believe her if she read me a weather report."

UK viewers liked it more than the press. Meghan is right about media bigotry.

Good Morning, Britain: Meghan Markle Didn’t Spill the Tea, She Smashed the China

A glance at the front pages of the papers on Tuesday tells you all you need to know about the U.K.’s response to one of the biggest national indignities in decades. A scandalized Daily Mail asks “What Have They Done?” billed as part of a “Royal Crisis Special” while the Daily Mirror spouts “Worst Royal Crisis in 85 Years,” reporting of a “palace in meltdown.” A column by Allison Pearson runs below the fold on the Daily Telegraph: “They may claim to respect her, but this is a devastating insult to the Queen,” reads the headline. Over at tabloid Daily Star, it’s sheer folly: “Our telly broke at 8:59pm last night. Did we miss anything?”

But could it be that maybe Britain’s seen the light here? Twitter, from what I saw, was a surprisingly positive place when the interview was airing on ITV. Yes, jaws may have been on the floor as the mystique of the Royal Family was swiftly annihilated in one fell swoop from a sunny garden in California, but the empathy for Markle’s heartrending discussion of her mental health turmoil was something to be proud of.

Imdb votes are only 300 for 30M viewers. People too lazy to look up the title?

Most viewers are 30+, but those in 20s rate it highest. Women higher then men.
