Harry and Meghan Markle, their popularity is also sinking in the States

The book bomb a Shoot it is snapped up but for the prince Harry there is little to rejoice. Criticism and attacks from his native Britain – where a Yougov poll recently crowned him «most hated man in England» – he probably expected them. But what the popularity of him would be also plummeted in the States – as revealed by a survey Newsweek hot off the press – must have left him dismayed.

In early December, in another study conducted by Redfield & Wilton, the prince had secured 38 percent of the vote among participants included in a sample of two thousand Americans. In the new poll, taken six days after the autobiography was published, it is plummeted to -7. Also Meghan Markle suffered the harsh consequences of the reactions of the American public. The consents of him are collapsed to -13, compared to +23 in early December. And, surprisingly given that she has always declared herself a champion of feminism, it is mainly women who do not like it. Result: now the former actress is even less popular than Queen Consort Camillawhich has earned a miserable -8. But Camilla in the States, as she explains Newsweek, has always been unloved. Because the association between her self-image and the failure of her marriage Charles and Diana – back in the spotlight thanks to the Netflix series The Crown – has always remained deeply rooted.

But what decreed the unexpected thud of the Sussex? The new poll shows that 44 percent of Americans found it especially unpleasant Harry’s decision to reveal private details conversations with his family. As he writes Newsweek, in short, the strategy of the Sussexes – who even until recently were viewed with sympathy in the States – “doesn’t seem to work in America”. The constant complaints against the royal family – first with the Netflix docuseries Harry&Meghan, then with the memoir-bomb and the new interviews on TV – even overseas turned out to be an unexpected boomerang. So much so that even the prestigious New York Times he called the Sussexes’ fiction “repetitive and boring”. Noting that the Americans are starting to get bored of the dukes: “Something has changed”.
