Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s popularity since they left the Royal Family has continued its downward spiral, new polling results show.

In a new study carried out by Ipsos, just as King Charles and Princess Kate recover from time in hospital for various health concerns, the Duchess in particular found herself reaching a historic low. Just 47 percent of those questioned have an “unfavourable opinion” of the Duke of Sussex, with only 23 percent of those asked holding a “positive opinion” of him.

Meanwhile, things were even worse for Meghan, with 54 percent of those asked holding an “unfavourable opinion” of her. Only 18 percent of those surveyed revealed they thought of her in a “positive” light, in a five percent drop since the last poll.

It comes following a turbulent 2023 for the couple which included the release of Spare, the end of their lucrative Spotify deal and the controversial release of Endgame by biographer Omid Scobie.
