Prince Harry courted about 10.52M U.S. viewers for his sit down with Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes on Sunday, according to early Nielsen data.

On social media, the interview drove the season’s largest number of impressions since its September premiere with 923M (compared to 1.6B social impressions for the season’s debut).
The interview on CBS followed a similar tell-all that aired in the UK on ITV with Tom Bradby. That broadcast was watched by a lackluster 4.1M people.

He told Cooper that he had not spoken to his brother or his father, King Charles, “for a while.” Asked if he could see ever returning to be a full-time member of the royal
