Millions of Britons attended the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The audiences are crazy.
On Monday, September 19, 2022, the British said a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II. All cameras were trained on this historic funeral. Thus, the whole world was able to follow the Monarch’s funeral live, during which 2,000 guests were present. But what about audiences? According to the Daily Mail, which carried the figures from the Barb organizationmore than 26 million British viewers were in front of their television set. It is indeed one in two Britons who attended the Queen’s funeral, thus viewing the images at home. We must also add those who were able to attend these funerals broadcast in bars, cafes or restaurants.
That’s not all. Our colleagues from the Daily Mail explain that 4.1 billion people worldwide have followed the event. The audience would then be higher than the Live Aids of 1985, the wedding of Charles and Lady Diana or even the funeral of the latter. It would therefore be the 10th most viewed event in the world. Incredible figures that show how much Queen Elizabeth II was very popular around the world.
Prohibited images released
Moreover, certain images of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II which were broadcast live, have been banned from rebroadcasting : “This is the non-aggression pact between William and Harry and the press. William and Harry have suffered a great deal and have accused the tabloids of some responsibility in the death of their mother. For continued cooperation between the Royal Family and the press, there is a gentlemen’s agreement. There are ups and downs in this relationship. There are times when the press is more hostile with certain members of the royal family. There are times when it respects this consensus. We are in a period of mourning. The press agrees to set limits and not fall into a voyeurism that would displease the royal family and Buckingham Palace”explained the journalist from Figaro Florentin Collomp on the set of BFMTV.
