Prince Harry and Meghan’s documentary series about royal life has been watched more than any other Netflix documentary in its first week, the company said.
The first three episodes of Harry & Meghan, released last Thursday, recorded 81.55 million viewing hours after its debut, “the highest view hours of any documentary title in a premiere week”.
More than 28 million households have watched at least part of the series, said Netflix.
‘Harry & Meghan’ was the second-most watched English-language series on Netflix globally between December 5 and 11, behind only Addams Family drama ‘Wednesday."
The documentary series was also the number one English-language series during the week in Britain.
The final three episodes of the documentary series are to be released on Thursday and will cover the couple’s decision to step away from royal duties.
In the trailer, Harry says: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” while Meghan adds: “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves.”
In the first half of the documentary series, the couple revealed they met on Instagram, and Meghan said paparazzi paid someone to put a livestream camera in her back garden once news she was dating Prince Harry broke.
“My neighbours texted me saying, ‘They’re knocking on everyone’s doors, they’re trying to find you,’” she said.
“They had paid certain neighbours to put a livestream camera into my backyard.”
She also revealed her surprise at the level of formality in the royal family behind closed doors, saying initially she thought Harry was joking about curtsying to the Queen.
“I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside,” she said.
