Prince William and Kate Crowned Britain’s Favorite Royals Amid Rift with Harry and Meghan
Prince William and Kate Middleton are currently the most beloved royals in Britain, enjoying strong support from the public despite ongoing tensions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
What the Poll Says
A recent YouGov survey ranked 20 royal family members based on public favorability. Prince William topped the list with an impressive 74% approval rating, while Kate followed closely with 71%. Both have relatively low disapproval rates, showing broad support across age groups and genders.
Harry and Meghan’s Struggles
In contrast, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seen their popularity drop significantly. Only 28% of people view them positively, with Meghan’s favorability at just 20%. Negative opinions are high—67% disapprove of Meghan and 62% disapprove of Harry. This reflects a continuing decline in their public image in the UK.
Comparisons and Context
The Sussexes’ numbers are only slightly better than Prince Andrew, who faces very low support due to controversy. This shows how far Harry and Meghan’s popularity has fallen in Britain.
A Glimmer of Hope Among Young People
There is some good news for Harry and Meghan among younger generations. About one-third of 18- to 24-year-olds view Harry positively, and a quarter support Meghan. However, these numbers drop sharply with older age groups.
Summary
While William and Kate remain widely admired and supported, Harry and Meghan continue to face significant challenges in regaining favor with the British public. Their popularity is especially weak among older voters but holds slightly better among the youth, suggesting a possible shift in the future
