Royal commentator Phil Dampier didn't mince words when he suggested, "I think the penny has finally dropped with them [the Sussexes] that they can never compete with an ancient institution admired around the world, particularly the goodwill still lingering from the late Queen’s reign." Ouch! The truth can sting, can't it? Dampier was candid, stating that even in America, people are tired of the constant complaints and want the Sussexes to make a positive impact. Merely showing up at events or attending concerts and baseball games isn't cutting it anymore.
And here's the shocker – Prince William, the future King, was voted the most respected political figure in the US, with an impressive 59 percent favorable rating, leaving everyone else behind. Meanwhile, Prince Harry didn't even make the list of the top 15 most respected political figures in America. Talk about a royal snub.
During William's visit to New York in September 2023, royal fans couldn't contain their admiration for the future King. One New Yorker praised William, calling him an "incredible person, a great leader, and an awesome role model for a lot of younger people." Another commended his optimism and work ethic, noting, "He just keeps his head down and gets the job done."
Now, you might be wondering why the Cambridges are stealing the spotlight. It's not just about popularity; it's about impact. William's commitment to environmental causes, such as the Earthshot initiative, has resonated with Americans. His optimism and dedication to making a positive change align with what people want to see. As for the Sussexes, it seems like their constant drama and grievances are falling on deaf ears. Americans are over it, and the Cambridges are taking center stage.
