Most watched Royal Wedding

[Winnie]

Martha, I guess I didn't make myself clear. I meant that since there is a fair sized Spanish speaking population in the USA, the wedding of Letizia & Felipe was shown on TV and it enabled all of the millions in America to watch. It was available to us. There are very few Dutch so I guess that Willem & Maxima's wasn't a priority. I doubt we would ever get to see Victoria (when she marries) either.

I remember watchng 5 minutes of the Letizia's wedding on one of the spanish channels here in New York. I think t was Telemundo.

But Charles and Diana's wedding is one of the most memorable weddings of the late 20th century.

You're right and what a shame. If you ask most Americans to name a ruling queen, you will of course get Elizabeth II. Ask most of us to name a future ruling queen...no impact, no idea.

I saw it on Telemundo around midnight or in the wee hours of the morning. Fatigue set in and I had to stop watching.

The biggest audience for Felipe and Letizia's wedding wasn't in the US, even though it's broadcast in the US. It's in South and Central America where affinity to Spain is still running high. I don't know about the 2.1 billion number though. But considering there are more TV sets in 2004 than 1980, the Spanish wedding could have a bigger audience than Charles and Diana's wedding.

I have important reasons to think Princess´Diana is the most watched wedding in the world. Because British royalty is famous in the world no only in english speaking countries, in everywhere.

I read that audience for letizia and felipe´s wedding was low in Spain. I think internet has changed the life, in the past was difficult to know about the real situation, now is different.

I knew Felipe and Letizia's wedding would be a big draw but I had never realised the figures were so high.

1. Prince Charles and Lady Diana
2. Crown Prince Frederick and Mary Donaldson

I watched, too, Charles and Diana wedding, and so did everyone I know. And she did not disappoint anyone. She was truly a fairy tale princess. The whole world fell in love.

I think Princess Diana & Prince Charles!!
