Royal Family News: Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Popularity At Its Lowest Following Prince Philip’s funeral

British royal family news divulges that Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle keep dropping in public opinion polls. Following Prince Philip’s funeral, their approval ratings have fallen to their lowest levels ever according to a new poll.

This is the second time the couple’s popularity plummeted, the first time after their spiteful trashing of his family to Oprah Winfrey.

Since then they have not climbed back up and the British public has decidedly cooled to them following their 2020 Megxit move.
