The transmission of the coronation of King Carlos III. it brought the highest ratings to numerous television stations. Spectators were missing elsewhere.

Last Saturday all eyes were on London: Carlos III. he was crowned king in a pompous ceremony. Celebrations surrounding the historic event were broadcast on television stations around the world. In addition to the special programmes, viewers were able to watch the coronation at Westminster Abbey live, the carriage procession and the first appearance of the new king on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

In Germany, around seven million people are interested in the real program of ARD, RTL and Sat.1. In the UK, more than 20 million tuned in to BBC One, ITV and Sky News when Charles III. officially became king. However, these viewers were missing elsewhere, as data from the erotic platform “Pornhub” now reveals. The Daily Star reports that on May 6, the British took a break from pornography to watch the coronation.

Pageviews collected by Pornhub show the lowest impact was at 11am local time, when the ceremony began at Westminster Abbey. About an hour before the first part of the procession, the number of visitors began to dwindle. They then bottomed out nationwide at 10.4 percent below the daily average. With millions of users, that means “hundreds of thousands of people skip their morning visit to Pornhub,” according to the site’s operator.

However, when the ceremony began in the abbey, the number of visitors increased again. Shortly before 1:00 p.m. the balance had been restored and when King Carlos III. He returned safely to his palace an hour later, the British even making up for lost time. “Pornhub” experienced a surge in page views of 7.7 percent above average.

The platform does not announce the exact number of users, “but it is safe to say that the coronation has changed the hours of several hundred thousand visitors on Saturday,” a spokesperson confirmed.
