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.

Royal Family News – Harry And Meghan Are Falling In Popularity

According to the YouGov survey, Prince Harry’s popularity fell by three points following the funeral of his grandfather Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on April 17. Meghan’s popularity fell by five points in the last six weeks.

At the same time, Prince Edward and Prince Charles have seen a sharp increase in popularity since March 12.
Britain’s most popular royal also saw an increase. Following the death of her husband, the Queen saw a rise in public support from 80 percent to 85 percent.

At the same time, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s popularity remains high with roughly 75% of Britons giving them thumbs up.

Royal Family News – Andrew Is Not A Popular Royal

Conversely, Prince Andrew remains in the cellar with 79 percent of Britons holding a negative view making him the least popular royal. According to the poll, only ten percent view him in a positive light.

The data reflects over 1,700 Britons polled between April 21 and 22. It shows that public opinion of Prince Harry has stayed mostly negative even after he returned home for the funeral of his grandfather earlier this month.

Just 43 percent of Britons have a positive view of Prince Harry, and nearly 50 percent regard him negatively.

Royal Family News – The Queen Is The Most Popular Royal

Following the funeral of Prince Philip, Prince Edward, had the largest boost in positive opinion, going from 41 per cent of Britons in March to 54 percent last week.

There was a significant change in public view toward Prince Charles as well, with his net popularity rating rising to +25 compared with +7 on March 12.

Princess Anne also saw her ratings improve, with 70 percent of Britons giving her a thumbs up, up from 64 percent. And less than 10 percent of Britons have a negative view of the Queen.
