Durham has been revealed to be the most royal-obsessed city in the UK.
The people of Durham searched for Meghan Markle more than any other Royal family member with an average of 2900 searches per month in the last year.
Joint second most popular members in Durham are Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth with 2400 searches each.
Welsh cities find themselves at the opposite end of this ranking, however, with Newport officially being the least royal-obsessed city in the UK with a total of only 54 monthly searches per 10,000 people in the past year (compared to Durham’s 2480).
The Welsh capital of Cardiff is also the 3rd least royal-obsessed city in the UK, but with a slightly higher average of 172 searches per month per every 10,000 people.
