People around the world seem to have a fascination for the British royal family, so when Prince William was getting married to Kate Middleton, it was quite a big deal. However, you might be stunned as to how big a deal it was around the world, and to get a better understanding of it all, we need to check out the viewing figures according to different television stations.

When we do this, what we see is that more than two billion people around the world watched the wedding on their television, which is crazy, as it means that roughly one in every four people alive in the world took the time to watch it even when they lived in various time zones. It literally did make the world stop in its tracks, making it one of the most watched events of this kind to have ever happened.

So, when somebody asks you about the number of witnesses at a wedding, perhaps tell them that the answer is two billion just to confuse them.
