Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s popularity ratings have fallen to their lowest levels ever after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, according to a new poll.
The couple’s popularity has plummeted in the wake of the explosive broadcast, in which the couple made accusations of racism within the Royal Family.
But the British public appear to have reacted negatively to the couple’s interview, with Prince Harry’s popularity plunging 15 points since the broadcast, according to a new YouGov survey.
Meghan’s popularity has also sunk by 13 points in the last 10 days, figures from the poll show.
Meanwhile, in a sign of unwavering show of support, Britons continue to be most fond of the Queen, with four in five people (80 per cent) liking her, the survey says.
Prince William and his wife Kate also remain very popular, according to the poll, with about three quarters of Britons giving them favourable reviews.
Prince Andrew remains by far the most unpopular royal, with an 82 per cent negative view, according to the poll.
According to the data, of more than 1,600 Britons between March 10 and 11, public opinion of Prince Harry is now negative - having previously been positive prior to Sunday night’s world exclusive interview.
The figures show 45 per cent of Britons now have a positive opinion of Prince Harry, while 48 per cent regard him negatively.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s popularity scores have also fallen considerably.
Currently, only a third (31 per cent) of Britons have a positive opinion of the Duchess of Sussex, while more than (58 per cent) view her negatively.
This means she has a net popularity rating of -27, down from -14 just over a week ago.
Though the Queen’s popularity remains unwavering, Harry’s father, Prince Charles, has seen a fall in popularity since the interview, according to YouGov.
Two in five people (42 per cent) now have a negative opinion of the Prince of Wales – up from 36 per cent on March 2.
These are the most popular royals (rated very positive of positive) according to a YouGov poll of 1,664 Britons between March 10 and 11:
The Queen: 80 per cent (net: +66)
Prince William: 76 per cent (net: +60)
Kate Middleton: 73 per cent (net: +57)
Princess Anne: 64 per cent (net: +49)
Prince Charles: 49 per cent (net: +7)
Prince Harry: 45 per cent (net: -3)
Prince Edward: 41 per cent (net: +15)
Camilla Parker Bowles: 39 per cent (net: -2)
Meghan Markle: 31 per cent (net: -27)
Prince Andrew: 7 per cent (net: -75)
Poor ol Andrew
Prince William was rumoured to have had an affair, the scamp.
The god given right of any current or future monarch
The British public not having any truck with those two work shy, publicity seeking layabouts. It seems to be just @Lazarus and @Thomas_Brady types that they appeal to. The type of fellows who’d be big Jeremy Corbyn supporters.
You enjoying your Friday night bruv?
He organised the Invictus Games FFS
An incredibly noble gesture.
The Duke of York was a war hero with the Royal Navy in the liberation of the Falkland Islands. Possibly still attracting a small level of support amongst the Armed Forces?
How’d he think he’d ever get away with an affair he’s hardly inconspicuous
The Mrs was adamant it was true. Probably read it on tattle.ie
The Marchioness of Cholmendley supposedly.
Most likely just another smear campaign against the Royal Family.
That makes no sense. The British armed forces are pro nonce? Surely the fact that is the Sinn Fèin stance re Liam Adams would cause consternation?
Oh my God
Maybe a Yorkshire factor. They’re very parochial in Yorkshire.
