King Charles' Christmas show breaks TV audience record
King Charles III's Christmas broadcast has been reported as the most-watched televised Christmas address by a monarch ever recorded.
The British Broadcasting Corporation has claimed a celebratory victory over streaming rivals such as Netflix, according to a report by The Guardian UK.
The report states that 10.6 million viewers watched the Monarch's show on BBC One, BBC Two and ITV, making it the most-watched show on Christmas Day.
On average, 8.1 million, 1.58 million and 900,000 viewers watched the show on BBC One, ITV and BBC Two respectively.
Charles' speech would also have been the most popular Christmas Day broadcast by a monarch in the two decades that official television audience records monitoring viewership levels have been kept.
The monarch addressed the nation from St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where the burial ceremony for his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, took place three months ago and where his father was buried.
In the eight-minute post, Charles paid tribute to his mother and touched on the country's ongoing cost-of-living crisis, as well as images of food banks and meals being distributed to the needy, reports The Guardian UK.
