Royal Family News: Poll Compares The Sussexes and The Cambridges, Meet The Surprising Winners!

British Royal family news organizations often conduct polls to determine the favorite member of royalty. From Queen Elizabeth to Prince Charles to Prince Harry and William, these polls for years have shown that one person has won the hearts of the public.

And that individual, since his childhood, has been Prince Harry. Who can forget the then-12-year-old walking sadly behind his mother Princess Diana’s casket during her funeral march? In addition, Prince Harry charmed royal family watchers for years with his escapades and attempts to follow in his older brother William’s march-to-the-throne path.

But as Bob Dylan once crooned, “The times they are a-changin’.” And with regard to the royal family, those changes have dramatically impacted the favorite in the polls. Find out the new winners below!

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, Prince William Royal Family Polls Show Changes

The British public loves to select their royal family favorites through polls. And in the past year, the changes in the results have been particularly dramatic for two individuals: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

The poll comes from an organization called You Gov, a British market research company located in the United Kingdom. Looking at the statistics since March, most of the royal family has enjoyed an increase in their reputations.

But Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, have suffered the reverse for the first time. Their ratings since March have either remained the same or gone downhill.

For example, in April, the poll showed half of the British respondents disliking Harry. Just one month earlier, less than half didn’t like him.

And Meghan’s poll ratings are even lower. Less than 30 percent of Brits liked Markle, with more than 60 percent disliking her.

Shocking results? Not really, said one expert.

“It doesn’t surprise me,” asserted Eric Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants. This specialist in public perception called Meghan and Harry “a modern-day pariah of the U.K. populous.”

Schiffer pointed to Markle’s and Harry’s decision to step back from the royal family and head to California.

“Because they have decided to turn their back on the monarchy and cut and run without any concern for the legacy and history and in the process dishonoring the crown and the queen, they have created immense anger amongst the British people,” summed up the expert.

Royal Family Polls Show New Favorites

In contrast to Meghan and Harry, the royal family polls also revealed two new favorites.

Outdoing even Queen Elizabeth, Prince William has soared to the top of the royal family You Gov polls.

William, Duke of Cambridge, earned close to a 75 percent approval rating. Queen Elizabeth was next, with a 72 percent rating. And not far behind was William’s wife, Kate Middleton.

Why the changes? There are several reasons:

• Prince William and Duchess Kate have worked to ease the pandemic pain for Britain. The couple has participated in Zoom sessions with workers and shown their caring spirit for families.
• Amid the chaos caused by Meghan Markle’s and Prince Harry’s departure, William and Kate avoided any such drama. They continued their royal duties, making appearances on social media regularly.
• Harry’s and Meghan’s Oprah interview could have turned into a serious publicity crisis for the royal family. But William and Kate succeeded in maintaining a cool, calm presence, offering continuity that contrasted dramatically with Harry and Meghan’s chaotic exit.
