The Super Bowl outperformed the royals' holy matrimony with a whopping 103.4 million viewers.
With online streaming on the rise, it's no surprise that royal weddings get more attention. When Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana were married in 1981, only about 17 million people tuned in.

American-born Meghan Markle is one of the first biracial members of the British monarchy. The ceremony paid tribute to her mixed-race heritage, including a passionate sermon from Bishop Curry, the first black presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, and featuring songs from a gospel choir. Her mother, Doria Ragland, was praised by Twitter users for unapologetically wearing locs to the wedding.
