Meghan Markle and prince Harry's popularity has tumbled further in the US
The popularity of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has tumbled further
in the eyes of the American public amid Harry's new strikes against the
royal family.
The Duke and Duchess are becoming more unpopular in
the US even after all their publicity stunts, interviews, shows and
revelations.
Harry has reportedly dropped 45 points and his wife Meghan 36
points in just over a month in the US public opinion poll after release of
the Duke's tell-all memoir 'Spare'.
The royal couple, who were
previously hugely popular in the United States, have sunk in the polls. It
comes after Harry's candid revelations and allegations about members of his
family, most noticeably his brother Prince William.
Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle have both seen their approval ratings drop dramatically
since the beginning of December.
New polling by Redfield & Wilton for Newsweek revealed
Prince Harry now has an approval rate of -7 on January 16, compared to +38
on December 5.
Meanwhile, Meghan had an approval rating of -13,
compared to +23 on December 5.
The poll, which was made up of
2,000 US voters, marks a serious backslide in ratings for the couple, who
moved to the country after stepping back from royal duties in March 2020.
As
per polls, women were slightly less likely to like Meghan Markle than men in
the US.
Asked about whether the Duke Harry was right to reveal
intimate conversations with his family members in the memoir, 44 percent
said he was wrong, with 26 percent saying he was right.
However,
Harry and Meghan's approval ratings remained unchanged in 37 percent and 38
percent of Americans respectively.
