Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's standing among the British public has taken a dramatic nosedive, according to a recent survey. The once-beloved royal couple now faces widespread disapproval, with their approval ratings sinking to unprecedented lows.
The Stark Numbers
The poll reveals that a staggering majority of UK respondents view the Duke and Duchess of Sussex unfavourably. Only a small fraction of those surveyed maintained positive feelings towards the couple, marking a significant shift from their previous popularity.
What's Behind the Decline?
Experts suggest several factors may be contributing to this sharp decline:
- Their highly publicized departure from royal duties
- Controversial interviews and media appearances
- Perceived criticism of the Royal Family
- Their commercial ventures in the US
The couple's decision to step back from royal life and subsequent move to California appears to have particularly alienated British audiences.
Generational Divide
Interestingly, the poll reveals a generational split in attitudes. While older demographics show near-universal disapproval, younger respondents were somewhat more sympathetic to the Sussexes' position.
Royal Contrast
Meanwhile, other members of the Royal Family, particularly the Prince and Princess of Wales, maintain strong approval ratings. This stark contrast highlights the growing divide between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the monarchy in British public opinion.
As the Sussexes continue their life in America, these poll results suggest they may face an uphill battle to regain favour with the British public.
