Meghan Markle’s popularity falls to record low, new poll suggests
Public opinion of the Duchess of Sussex in Britain has fallen to an all-time low, a new poll suggests.
Those with a negative view of Prince Harry’s wife of five years, Meghan Markle, made up 68 per cent of respondents, while 21 per cent held a positive view, according to a YouGov survey of 2,014 people.
The data company began recording Meghan’s net favourability among the public when she and Harry were dating in 2017, but the most recent rating shows it has fallen to -47 – the lowest it has ever been.
Compared to April’s results, the positive view of Mehan has fallen by three points and added to the “total negative view” result, which jumped from 65 to 68 per cent.
In the same dataset, Prince Harry is also unfavoured by the British public, with 63 per cent of YouGov respondents having a “total negative” view of him, while 28 per cent had a positive view.
Meanwhile, six in 10 people have a positive view of the King. His net favourability stood at 32, which marked an improvement on April, before his coronation, when the figure was 26.
