Have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost their charm in America? Are they losing their appeal among Americans? The answer is yes.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have lost favorability in the United States — and one royal expert believes she knows why. The couple’s charm appears to be fading in the US. According to a royal expert, both Harry and Meghan have “given a lot of talks to Americans.”
Once touted as the most popular members of the Royal family, Prince Harry’s decision to leave and publicly criticise the institution has affected his image. In October 2019, before he left, Harry was liked by 71 per cent and disliked by 22 per cent of the British public.
But data from last August paints a grim popularity about Harry and Meghan’s popularity. Data shows that only 30 per cent of people now hold a favourable opinion of him, while 60 per cent disapprove, according to data from Statista, reported Daily Mail.
Prince Harry’s spectacular fall from grace comes after he fired a series of broadsides at his own family in the form of a bombshell interview with Oprah in 2021, a Netflix docuseries in 2022 and most importantly, his tell-all memoir Spare in 2023.
They give a lot of talks to Americans and they all dislike Harry and Meghan. They hate that they let the Queen down,” Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, recently told The Standard. Seward’s remarks come amid growing discontent towards the couple, who stepped down from their royal duties and relocated to the US in 2020.
Why Americans dislike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, abandoned their royal lives in the UK and moved to the US in 2020. They subsequently turned against Harry’s relatives — including Queen Elizabeth II, who died at age 96 in September 2022.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made headlines for openly criticising the royal family. Since then Harry has renounced his British residency and declared the US his home and has been maintaining a strained relationship with his family.
Meanwhile, other insiders have suggested that many people now simply don’t think about them and have no opinion either way, according to Daily Mail.
