Harry and Meghan's documentary series on Netflix has beaten The Crown in ratings.
Viewing figures released by independent ratings body Barb show that the documentary has the highest first day audience since Barb began monitoring Netflix in October.
Though it must be noted that Barb only accounts for the number of audience members who tune in on a television so the number is actually likely to be much higher if smartphone, laptop and tablet viewers are considered. On the day of its release, Barb confirmed that the second episode in the documentary series was watched by 1.5 million people, while episode three was watched by 800,000 viewers – all on the first day.
