British royal family news divulges that Prince Harry’s brand, whatever that is, is deeply disliked according to popularity polls. He is a prince married to Hollywood “royalty” yet none of that helps make him likeable which is a big problem given that his financial freedom depends on his ability to make a buck.

He and Meghan Markle opened their Archewell umbrella in 2020, following Megxit. A lot has changed since then, with the “Markle Sparkle” revealed to be little more than cheap gold plate.
The most recent YouGov poll shows that 63% of the British actively dislike Harry and an even greater percentage, 65%, want nothing to do with Meghan Markle. This can’t be well for Archewell.
Royal Family News – Archewell in Trouble?
On top of the dour public sentiment, PR experts also take a dim view of the Markles’ business future. Branding pro Edward Coram James of the dire poll numbers: “If there is a massive nuclear backlash against the U.K. press from the British public then that will have an effect and U.K. politicians will feel like they have to get involved.”
He added “The problem is Harry and Meghan, or specifically Harry, is not the person to achieve change in the media landscape. The reason for that is quite simple, he is deeply, deeply unpopular in the U.K.”

Maybe someone should tell Harry and Meghan that.
Royal Family News – Harry’s Deep Unpopularity
Harry and Meghan are of the firm belief that they have what it takes to transform the world, in actionable acts of kindness, one act at a time. Remember when they ran away from the palace boasting about their deep charitable nobleness, how they would bring hope to the people the monarchy failed?
The better question is, what have they done lately? Lately Meghan accepted a schmaltzy award at a car rental counter, and Harry blasted, in court, everyone but himself for his problems. Winning goals.

As James points out “In order to effect change on that scale and against that level of opponent you need to carry the British public with you and he’s lost them.” Numbers don’t lie and he added “If anything his actions are more likely to curry a bit of sympathy with the U.K. press. This isn’t necessarily right, it’s an unfortunate reality and it’s morally pretty wrong but the reality is there’s a significant amount of people in the U.K. who will see Harry doing something and take the other side. That’s what happens when you become that unpopular. We saw it in America with Trump.” Oh my.
