According to a new poll, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s popularity in the UK made a dent in their interview with Oprah Winfrey.
During the explosive sit-in, the couple made allegations of racism against the royal family, claiming that Markle’s pleas for help were ignored after she became suicidal.
According to the new YouGov poll (via Reuters), Harry’s popularity dropped by 15 points from a week before the interview. Forty-eight percent of the 1664 participants had a ‘negative attitude’ towards Harry.
The poll also found that only three out of ten people have a “positive view” of Markle following the interview. An overwhelming 58 percent had a ‘negative opinion’ of the former ‘Suits’ star.

The new opinions about the couple – who are expecting a daughter – come after their interview with the headline, in which they accused the royal family of having a dark face of Archie’s son when he was born. Markle also claimed that ‘the Firm’ did not protect her because they said they would do so and left her for a false narrative that she made her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, cry before her wedding to Harry in May 2018.
Markle also revealed that she committed suicide while pregnant with Archie, but that the royal institution refused to help her when she reached out.

During the interview, Harry revealed that his father had stopped taking calls to ‘Megxit’ for a while. He also said he tried to help his brother, Prince William, see the ‘toxic’ ways of the royal family’s lifestyle, but he did not succeed.
