Oprah Winfrey's explosive interview with Prince Harry and Meghan reached an estimated 17.1 million viewers in the United States on Sunday.
That's according to preliminary numbers from the Nielsen company.
Winfrey guided the two as they discussed racism and dysfunction inside the royal family in a two-hour special on CBS.
Nielsen said it had the largest audience for any prime-time entertainment special so far this television season.
In the interview, Meghan said she considered suicide, while Harry said he and his family were "trapped" in an oppressive institution.
