I watched Diana and Charles and Andres and Sarah
Unfortunately here in the US we dont get much coverage of other European royalty on TV. But I found small bits of cover of Infanta Christina & Inaki; Prince Edward & Sophie (not much coverage); and I saw a good bit of Prince Naruhito(sp?) and Masako.

3. Willem-Alexander and Maxima
4. Märtha-Louise and Ari
5. Johan Friso and Mabel
6. Frederik and Mary

I hope that the next marriage we could see is the marriage of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel Westling next year.

I watched the wedding of Charles and Camilla
The night before, I could not fall asleep and knew I propbably would miss it. so i wanted to pre tape it, then remembered I didnt have a vhs tape. so i just went to bed.
Around 6am in the morning I woke up with really bad heart burn, (I had eaten pepperoni pizza the night before) and was able to watch the whole thing live, while trying to find some anti-acid tablets.

How funny!! These are the exact same weddings I have seen, as well!!!! I had to get up quite early to catch the spanish wedding on Univision but it was worth it. I was able to buy the danish crown princely wedding and am now set on trying to buy the dutch 2002 wedding.

Wow, 2.100 000 000 people? 
That's an impressive reasult! I guess it was broadcasted in all Spanish/Portuguese-speaking countries, and some internetional channels too (I remember a life, albeit brief, broadcast by Euronews). 
All I can say is, I was one of those 2.100.000.000 people.

I watched it, too, with my family. Germany broadcasts all royal weddings.

probably the next wedding that would draw in huge viewing figures across the world will be William (and Kate)

I think Crown Princess Victoria's! (It will probably be huge)
I think William will wait a few more years.

Spanish and British royal weddings would draw the most TV audiences because of the number of former colonies each had worldwide. A royal wedding of any Scandinivian country would not be comparable because their small population and few audiences outside of their own country. Victoria will have to marry an American movie star to get an audience of any size. Fred's wedding was probably watched by 25 millions even if everyone in Denmark and Australia tuned in.

Well, no, i agree it will probably not be send in the US, they are mostly only interested in the British royalty.
But it will be send in Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, France and a bunch of other European countries.
So it will draw more visitors then, let's say Marie and Joachim's wedding.
Royal weddings are something even people watch that normally don't care for royalty.

Technology and Culture and Royal Wedding Viewership
Grace Kelly married in the 50s. In the early 60s, the old American Telephone and Telegraph Company hired the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to put a spherical object into orbit that was girdled with antennae. It was called Telstar and it flew in a highly elliptical orbit.
Telstar was rapidly joined by the first modern communications satellite, Syncom, that orbited once a day just like most communications satellites do today. Diana's wedding was watched in real time by a huge number of people linked by geosynchronous satellites.
But culture is also a factor. Letizia's wedding was broadcast in the USA on Univision, a Hispanic network. The Anglo media paid no attention. But there are many millions from the Rio Bravo to Cape Horn who are Hispanic, plus Europeans. Television sets probably made more inroads everywhere too between Diana's wedding and Letizia's. The difference between Diana's and Letizia's audiences can be accounted for by there being more Hispanics than Anglos and more television sets everywhere.
I don't think the Swedish Crown Princess' wedding will get much attention outside of Europe, satellites or no. Sweden did not establish a far flung Swedish-speaking commonwealth. The UK wedding will be followed, with help from satellites, in Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well as the USA.
Most Americans do not know who Mary Donaldson Glucksberg or Letizia Ortiz Borbon are, so it is hard for an American to guess at audiences for a royal wedding. But I predict that if Victoria marries at the time of some unpleasantness like OJ Simpson's or Scott Peterson's trials, her wedding will hardly be noted in the USA. The US media spent minutes on Peterson's trial and just thirty seconds on North Korea the day North Korea announced they had nuclear weapons.

I think it is the Charles and Diana wedding. Grace was popular but not many people had a tv at that time.
I think The spanish wedding and the danish are also popular. Maybe they are second and third.

Wow! 2.1 billion people watched Letizia's wedding?! That is huge. I always thought that it was Charles and Diana's wedding that attracted the most viewers, but I was wrong. I wonder how many people will watch William's wedding when he marries? I wonder if the number will be more than the number for his parents?
