The popularity of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was born in the UK after their full interview with Oprah Winfrey, a new poll found on Friday.
During the explosive hearing, the couple made accusations of racism against the royal family and claimed that Markle’s requests for help were ignored after she committed suicide.
Harry’s popularity fell 15 points from just a week before the interview, according to the new YouGov poll (via Reuters). Forty-eight percent of the 1,664 participants had a “negative attitude” toward Harry.
The survey also found that only three out of 10 people had a “positive view” of Markle after the interview. An overwhelming 58% had a “negative opinion” of the former “Suits” star.
New opinions about the couple – who are expecting a daughter – come after their headline interview, in which they accused the royal family of talking about “how dark” their son Archie’s skin would be when he was born. Markle also claimed that “The Company” did not protect her, as they said they would and allowed her to take the heat for a false narrative she had her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, do. cry before the wedding of May 2018 with Harry.
Markle also revealed that she committed suicide while pregnant with Archie, but that the royal institution refused to help her when she reached out.
Harry’s father, Prince Charles, also saw a decline in his popularity in the poll, as 42 percent of people said they had a “negative view” of him.
During the interview, Harry revealed that his father stopped calling after “Megxit” for a while. He also said that he tried to help his brother, Prince William, see the “toxic” ways of the royal family’s lifestyle, but failed.
But Page Six reported exclusively on Thursday that Harry and William opened “communication channels” after the interview.
