16 data was down, absurdly, to the discussion of Harry’s penis. Jack Royston, Newsweek’s royal correspondent, who commissioned the polling, said he suspected that the difference between the Jan. 16 to the levels recorded by Newsweek, especially given the ubiquity of his media appearances between Jan. 11, so it does not rule out the fact that Harry’s support could indeed have tumbled by Jan. after the book’s publication-with the added comfort that William was down 13. suggest that the couple are following the same trajectory stateside as in the U.K., where a YouGov poll published last week found the prince’s net favorability rating is now at an all-time low of -44 (down from -38 just a week ago, pre-book release), making him even more unpopular than Meghan, on a lowly -42.Ī separate Ipsos MORI poll of American voters also quoted by the Telegraph found, less dramatically than Newsweek, that Harry was down 11 points in the U.S. However, it’s not quite a case of “a curse on both your houses” as William, coming off a major post-royal funeral high, still has an enviable 61 percent approval rating (compared to Harry’s dismal 23 percent), with 70 percent thinking he will be a good king. Ouch!Ĭomplicating the narrative, however, is an Ipsos MORI poll for the Telegraph which found that post-publication, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s ratings have also plunged 8 and 7 percentage points in the U.K., while Harry’s and Meghan’s have dipped 7 and 5 points respectively. Incredibly, Meghan is now less popular than Camilla in America.Īsked how their opinion of Harry and Meghan had changed since the book and his Netflix documentary, 16 percent said they had a more positive view but 24 percent had a more negative view. They are even losing support among the young, who have been their most reliably faithful constituency, the full data shows, with 31 percent of 18-24s viewing Harry positively and 38 percent viewing him negatively. In the space of a month, the poll, carried out by Redfield and Wilton, shows Prince Harry has dropped a staggering 45 points in United States public opinion while Meghan has dropped 36.
