This Morning At The Royal Wedding, hosted by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, saw an average of 3 million people tune in, with a peak audience of 3.9 million.
The wedding was broadcast on ITV from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm, and achieved a 46% audience share.
These ratings are up by more than two million viewers compared to the time slot’s current average of 856,000.
ITV also aired a highlights programme at 8pm. This was watched by an average audience of 3.4 million.
Overnight figures for ITV include those watching live and also on ITV+1. The figures do not take into consideration those watching on catch-up TV, or indeed those watching outside of the country.
These viewing figures are significantly down on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding which saw a peak audience of 18 million. However, Harry & Meghan’s wedding was broadcast on the BBC & ITV, and the occasion took place on a Saturday.
