Celebrity Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's popularity plummets to record lows in the UK after Oprah interview A new poll from YouGov finds that a plurality of Britons now have negative views about both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

EW's editorial guidelines Published on March 12, 2021 01:59PM EST The shockwaves continue to roll out from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey. Days after the duo dissed the royal family on TV in explaining why they have moved to the United States, their popularity has plummeted to record-low numbers in the United Kingdom. A new YouGov poll, conducted in the wake of the bombshell interview, found that 48 percent of British respondents had a negative opinion of Prince Harry, compared to 45 percent with a positive view. That gives him a net favorability rating of -3, which represents a 15-point drop from the previous poll. Markle, for her part, experienced a drop of 13 points, taking her down to -27 (meaning that 31 percent have a positive view of her, while 58 percent have a negative view). The only other royal whose popularity has dropped since the interview is Prince Charles, whose favorability fell by 14 points to +7; opinions on Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, and Princess Catherine remain mostly unaffected. In a different poll conducted earlier this week by Piplsay, 50 percent of British respondents thought the interview would negatively impact Markle and Prince Harry. Looks like they were right.
