The popularity of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan has tumbled in Britain and has never been lower following their explosive interview with U.S. chat show host Oprah Winfrey, according to a poll on Friday.

During the interview aired last Sunday, Meghan said her pleas for help while she felt suicidal were ignored and that one unnamed member of the family had asked how dark their son Archie’s skin might be.

The tell-all interview has plunged the 1,000-year-old monarchy into its greatest crisis this century, and according to a YouGov poll, the standing of the two royals has also taken a big hit in the aftermath. The only other member of the family to see their popularity fall was Harry's father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles. The survey said 42% now had a negative view of him compared to 49% with a positive opinion.

She’s just a spoiled wannabe actress that couldn’t hold a candle to Kate. Green with envy, wants to destroy everything. Harry will regret the day he married her!

Why is everyone making such a big deal about them, there are more Important things in life to Worry about than 2 millionaires seeking ATTENTION.

Well, it's good then that they no longer live there, have walked away from that mess and asked them to leave them alone isn't it? Like, who cares what the people of the UK think, this family has left them.

How many times will you tweet it? I'm gonna unfollow CTV News if I see this story again.

I didn't give a fuck about then even before the interview, and still don't give a fuck.

And their popularity should plummet here too

Who cares

Yea but no one cares though. 🥱

She is an actress. She knows how to act and play the role. She controls Harry. Eventually she will leave Harry.

Are you trying to make this happen?

Who cares? Try reporting on something meaningful, like why TF did the Liberals no SFA about sexual harassment at the highest levels of the military in Canada?

Oh no! What can we do to help them?!

Rich people moaning they can’t pay security or being cut off with millions in the bank.. meanwhile the world shut down people are dying in masses but let’s care about them. They landed just fine.

Harry has been vulnerable since his mother passed away. Meghan unfortunately is manipulating Harry since all Harry wants is not to subject Meghan and Archie to the same torcher he went through when he was younger. Harry needs help.

Harry made his bed, now he gets to sleep in it. I don't know Meghan but I know her type.

Why can’t these two just live their lives! She’s been part of his for what three years and look she’s done nothing but isolate him. I married a biracial woman. Omg I’m fuckin special. Shut up.

WGAF

Lying Markle says she never researched the Royal Family or Princess Di. lololololol🤣😂🤣 Look at this fool Markle!

When I say who cares I mean who cares what others think. Live your life being the best person you can be is all that counts

what a dystopia we have made for ourselves that two famous and wealthy people, dressed in fine clothes, sit down with another famous and wealthy person in order to garner sympathy for themselves from the dirty peons far below. what fools are we, playing right into their hands.

🖕 the monarchy! 👑💩

I think she’s semi full of shit

That's the poll of white people. Try polling black, brown & yellow people: 90% approval

It's been amazing to see how many accept one-sided accounts, no room for the other side of a story. I don't accept her entire story, she made falsehoods, some have been proven. I still support the Canadian Monarchy. Long live the Queen.

The whole Royal concept should fizzle to nothing. What a waste of money and fake power.

Popularity decreases, but MONEY increases. Mission accomplished.

Disgusting

...but soars in the rest of the world as they expose the Royal family as racists.

Nobody cares.

Didn’t see that one coming 😂

No surprises. If they really wanted to be away from the press, no need to create more press coverage.

Royal boys really do need to stay away from American divorcees.

For ppl trying to get away from the media, I guess $7 mill works, but seriously, what was she supposed to accomplish by that, changing the royals via the media they hate?

I am quite sure they couldn’t care less.

First of all, she’s an actress

Spoiled brats rich kids .... thought you wanted to be normal... get the hell off TV 📺 then...

We love the Royals including Harry and their families. Stay together as the world supports you just like Queen Diana.

I don’t respect them anymore.

Sounds like a lot of folks in the UK are okay with racism and controlling women.

A preemptive strike to explain why she abused palace staff.

Sigh! Couldn't win over UK, moved to Canada...Canada wasn't impressed or impressed enough..moved to USA....found the ppl to cater to her....still not enough...aired family drama...now happy...until drama dies down....what's next I wonder?

🖕 the monarchy ! 👑💩

Trash airing of family issues from a couple who wanted to avoid the media....

It’s too bad that Harry brought ghetto and gossip into the Royal Family. Nothing is ever good when talking to ugly obese ghetto Oprah

Being popular shouldn't be important. Ever.

Who cares

Just watched this interview. Oprah is obsessed with race. She needs help. Harry is a good guy. There has to some deep rooted s*** in royal family after his mother's death.

Retaliation by Markle plain and simple. Laced with lies by the way with major manipulation at points. If she wanted to turn the UK against the Royals she will have to much better. They were not too perturbed by another royal having sex with a minor as you remember 😷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Who cares what British 'people' think? Lmao They're just mad my boy Archie is outbred

Yawn

No shit

Are they asking the same people who did not protest insulting this family when papers posted a woman walking a chimp with the headline 'Royal baby coming home from the hospital'. Or said nothing when even the palace said nothing to defend this family against such an insult

Who cares about a monarchy that got its power by stealing and murdering others 👎🏾

Who cares

A family fight with the in-laws ...yawn.

I’m really curious what age groups were polled in this.

To be honest it’s terrible what they had to deal with within the royal family. But... I thought it was common knowledge that the British elite royalty were probably racist and had a history of concealing mental illness.... like.... what did you expect?

The British can be a fickle bunch when it comes to the Royals.

And not just the UK. We’re very disappointed here in Canada as well with their behaviour.

Who fucking cares!!

MeghanMarkle threw her in-laws under the bus in front of the world. Then she used the two most vulnerable social issues mentalhealth and racism to her advantage. While doing all that, she loved the publicity and signing multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and AppleTV

Privileged and blaming others

A large chunck of Brits are groomed idiots manipulated by the Royal Family Tabloids Pathetics

This is actual politics how u play with peoples emotions and get fame

Pfffft who cares about the racist Brits? They just don’t like being called out for the racist pigs they are.

I’m sure they’re crushed.

MOOOOOOOVE ON NEWS

Oh yeah? Popularity of UK plummets for rest of the world after Meghan and Harry interview!

Really? With the media in the U.K being so cruel to Harry and Meghan, it doesn't surprise me one bit the media would continue to promote disapproval consensus..Bullies! Shame on you!

Who cares?

Please stop talking about them! They want out of the spotlight, so let's stop giving them a platform

Harry and Meghan popularity plummets in UK….. They shouldn’t even worry about it. They crossed the bridge to start a new life. They should live in the future not the past. The royals asked for it and they got it. Harry and Meghan now have friends and a new life.

Like they give a damn!

I’m sure they don’t care. I wouldn’t.

Maybe this will make security more manageable? A win for them in my books.

Well no 🤬

NoOnecares

It takes guts to speak out. Harry is protecting his wife and kids. He was not able to save his mother so u can imagine his stress. Bravo to both of u.

Who cares

Who cares. What a ridiculous poll. We live in crazy times

Poll eh...reminds me of the ones they like to do here, no one cares about polls -- ask Qs of a certain group you will get a certain answer 😂🤣

Looks like more interview still to come wish they would now get on with their lives of all people opening up about her mental illness yet she has turned her back on her own father he has been tricked ambushed and used by the media

Honestly, Oprah didn’t challenge any of their false allegations, it was more of a backyard gossip group with 3 whinny millionaires. They used every victim card available, mental health, racism, women’s issues, abuse, trapped, all false allegations used for self gain.

Who cares?

they like the myth better than the truth

Not surprised.... it was a truly crass idea to do this interview with Hollywood!... and then to drop a 'race card' on MSM when you weren't even there yourself shows extreme stupidity!

Snoring zzzzz

These people have concept of “real world problems”. She’s taking full advantage of having a spotlight as an American Hollywood actress and her connection with the Royals. A publicist’s dream? Harry seems clueless of this.

Disrupting racism can be discomforting.

What people are missing is, these 3 sit in their million dollar mansion, interviewed by a woman who's got billions and complain about having to pay for security for their son, while how many people no longer have jobs and can hardly put food on their own table....give me a break.

Not sure they had a ton of popularity beforehand by the sounds of it.

I say it is; therefor it IS!

LOL Poor Brits, no royals to unfairly dump on. Boohoo

He’s not a “real man”!! If he was he wouldn’t have run away from his responsibilities towards the Crown. With regards to Meghan & Archie why isn’t he paying for their security. He’s worth $20M why is he asking the taxpayers of the UK to pay....shameful!!

Do you recall when Harry dressed in a Nazi costume. Is he also racist ?

Thats the plan.....duh!!!!😏

That's not surprising. No one wants to hear millionaire royals complain about how tough they have it. Especially from a home worth more then most will ever make in their entire lifetime.

Wow🙄

grg_mc Everyone who wanted to make money made money. So someone's happy.

I’m sure they will become far richer and will be just fine...

A lot of vicious angry people on here.

Thats what it was all about for fame. All bullshit stories. I can't believe people are believing all those lies without knowing the other side of the story.

Truths do that. Racism is historically mean and ugly. A distorted use of power and influence with effects that impact generations I love them together, and before as individuals. The Prince and Duchess ARE Doing A GOOD THING Personally and Historically by Speaking Out💜💎👑👑💎💜

In Canada too!

Meghan Markle used two of our most vulnerable social issues racism and mentalhealth to her advantage then threw her in-laws under the bus in front of the world. Glad most of the Brits have seen through her!

Why? Because they spoke their honest truth? thankyou courage bravery

In fact Meghan & Oprah drowned for not from Royal blood.

Mr and Mrs Markle are lying snakes!

Who cares. No one wants your opinion or anything going on in your life. Go life your life and shut up and stop making this about you wanted private life go live it. And shut up

It's a trend this days. Everything can be racist sadly.

No duh

Lot of racists in Britain

I doubt they care about their popularity rating.

And I'd bet they've become more popular in commonwealth and other countries. The Queen has handled this entire fiasco badly.

Well they can have peace they made the right decision.

Public is naive == according to body language professionals Harry and Meghan were not lying and only spoke their truth

“We’re privileged and rich and we want more” 😫 Please. This is Hollywood playbook 101. Accept your little reward, thank your agent, thank your god and F off.

This is a hidden agenda by the queen and the nwo (black rep Oprah ). Prince remove from duties to move to USA be be the king of North America to push UN/NWO agenda2030. Read between the lines people its another falseflag

They said he belongs to America now.

Hard to feel sorry for two spoiled, arrogant and entitled brats who have more money than 98% of the public; who never question where their next meal will come from; never worry if they can afford baby food for their child. Oh poor Harry only received 10M from Dianna. Blech

She's got the acting royal part down pat....

It touches the deepest chords of family intimacy and how much this can be challenged by political economic values, how these values ​​on which the lives of ordinary people are based are shared by the reference elites and what kind of society we expect for generations to come

It’s Much Ado About Nothing. People are homeless, hungry, and hurting. Megan & the Royals impertinent troubles are inconsequential.

The more they say they hate the media the more they crave the limelight. Kinda like a drug addiction I suppose.

Good.

She told a lot of lies. 36 yr old Harry complained his Dad cut him off his 2M pound a year salary bec he quit doing his job—smiling, giving benign speeches They took their personal peeves public, tried undermine RF Tell d*spicable Markle to STFU. Thot she wanted “privacy.” 🤣

Well...they couldn’t digest the facts

They do not care. THAT IS THE POINT. Let them live, be a family, love and be happy and be FREE! Kudos to Harry for being a REAL MAN of this millenium! xoxox

hollywoodtrash

Diana did a tell-all interview about her struggles with mental health, media hounding and abandonment from the royal family. She died a global treasure. Meghan does the same thing and she's a monarchy-hating villain. Gee, what's the difference? 🤔 UK: We're NoT rAcIsTs!

Interesting. I went the other way.

Why does that matter?

“popularity of the british crown plummets worldwide after shocking oprah interview reveals truth”

Naturally. The spoiled entitled whinging brats thought taxpayers should fund their security wherever they lived in the world! And airing family matters on global platform, no integrity or loyalty

Parasites.

Thats a good thing less popular then less media scrutiny

Nobody cares .

A large percentage of the British are disgraceful people.

Their main concern is that the USA buys into their story . That’s where the money is . The UK and Commonwealth countries don’t matter anymore.

Of course.... reality is a hard pill to swallow. Racism has been fostered through Colonialism. We have all been affected. It takes significant work to self-reflect & acknowledge our role & responsibility in addressing the need to end racism. It is a choice that many would avoid.

UK? I lost a lot of respect for them too. It was a very whiny interview. Bigger problems in the world right now. Poorly timed and comes off really insensitive

Airing family laundry internationally for a family that believes in stiff upper lips; what could possibly go wrong? This is just a publicity stunt.

When two wealthy celebrities air their dirty family laundry in public to the media, some people are bound to develop a negative view of them.

Good. Now move on.

So? General public is now caught in between them and palace just like any divorce.

🖕 the monarchy!

Who cares? They are holding onto an archaic and outdated system! I support Harry and Megan, 100% - sorry Megan had to be subjected to such hate and racism.

Good maybe they will leave them alone then...

I doubt they care.

A prince accuses a society of racism and he is quickly ignored. Shows UK does not want to face the reality of black and other ethnic minorities.

Who cares. Stay in Cali. The royal family are animals

As did popularity of Diana right up until she died.

And so it should!
