A new YouGov poll shows Prince Harry has a higher popularity rating than his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. The survey, conducted between July 21 and July 22, 2026, polled 2,063 British adults.
Poll results
Only 30% of respondents had a positive view of Princess Beatrice, and 29% for Princess Eugenie. In comparison, 33% viewed Prince Harry positively.
The findings come amid ongoing scandals involving the sisters' parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. Their names appeared in emails between Sarah Ferguson and the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, though no wrongdoing by the princesses has been suggested.
Context
Prince Harry has faced criticism in the UK for his public statements and memoir, while Beatrice and Eugenie have not personally been involved in controversies. Nonetheless, their popularity has declined.
The sisters are not working royals but remain in the public eye through royal events and social appearances.
