In the U.K., 24 million tuned in to watch the event, while an estimated 2 billion people in more than 180 counties were reported to have seen some form of coverage across TV reports, newspapers and digital and social media.
"Capturing the words and music of this Royal Wedding is a great responsibility, knowing how much a permanent record of the event will mean to so many people around the world," said multi-Grammy-nominated classical producer Anna Barry, who will oversee Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Wedding record. She promised a "state of the art recording which captures every nuance of this very happy day."
