King’s Christmas Message is down on 2022 but still tops UK viewing on Christmas Day.
The King’s Christmas Message was the most viewed show amongst Brits watching Christmas Day content.
But at 5.9m viewers it marks a huge drop from Charles’s first-ever Christmas message as monarch last year, which had an average of 8.1 million viewers on BBC One (and 10.6 million on BBC One, BBC Two and ITV).
