EXCLUSIVE Kate is the 'People's Princess' in the US and Meghan and Harry have FAILED to win over a majority; Poll reveals Princess of Wales is America's favorite royal - and a third think the Sussexes should go back to the UK

The Princess of Wales is the runaway favorite royal with a 44 percent positivity score and her husband and heir to the throne, William, is second with 36 percent.

Harry has a score of 28 percent and Meghan is further behind on 21 percent. The poll of 1,000 Americans was carried out between November 30 and December 1, during the global backlash to Omid Scobie’s book Endgame.

 

Dutch copies of the book by Scobie, who has been labeled the couple’s unofficial spokesman, named the alleged ‘royal racists’ who Harry and Meghan claim raised ‘concerns’ about the skin color of their son, Archie, before he was born. Scobie initially denied responsibility for the blunder but has now accepted he did include the names in an ‘early’ copy provided to Dutch publishers for translation.

The poll also reveals more than a quarter of Americans (26 percent) think Harry and Meghan are ‘too involved in American politics’. While 34 percent said the couple are involved ‘about the right amount’, the finding indicates a chunk of the country are frustrated by their public positions on some political issues.

 

 

Pollster James Johnson, from JL Partners, which carried out the survey, said: ‘Kate is the people’s princess. That’s the verdict of the American public: the Princess of Wales is their top rated royal and they vastly prefer her to Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.’

The findings are published today after Britain’s High Court heard Harry claims he felt ‘forced’ to leave the country and relocate with Meghan to America because it was ‘not possible to keep [his children] safe’ in the UK.

His comments were read during a court case he has brought against the UK’s Home Office over its decision to scale back his security arrangements after he stepped back from the royal family.

 

 

The poll found 42 percent of Americans believe Harry and Meghan should stay in the United States while 31 percent believe they should return to the UK.

The poll asked the public’s view on several members of the royal family and participants were given six options: very positive, quite positive, neither positive nor negative, quite negative, very negative and don’t know.

Net positivity was calculated by subtracting the percentage of quite and very negative responses from the percentage who said quite or very positive.

Some 43 percent of the public had a positive view of Harry, compared to 15 percent who responded negative. For Meghan, 40 percent chose positive while 19 percent said negative.

The results reveal how they have failed to win positive support from a majority of Americans since they quit the royal family in January 2020 and relocated to California several months later.

The couple went on to sign a deal with Spotify worth a reported $20 million and also partnered with Netflix under a deal worth around $100 million, which included their tell-all documentary series. Harry has also released an autobiography, Spare, and the couple have worked to frame themselves as philanthropists.

In a further nod to the public’s split opinion of Harry and Meghan, 29 percent of respondents said the couple’s statements are ‘generally not credible’, compared with 49 percent who said they were.

Asked what motivates Harry and Meghan, 47 percent said ‘doing the right thing and helping people’, while 37 percent said it was ‘making money and getting media attention’.

The poll comes as Scobie struggles to deal with the fallout from his new book.

While Endgame has flopped in the bestseller charts, it stirred huge controversy after a Dutch version included names two royals who were accused of making allegedly racist comments about the skin color of Harry and Meghan’s son, Archie.

An initial draft, given to Dutch translators, named the two senior members of the royal family who Meghan said told of their ‘concerns’ about the color of her son Archie’s skin, while she was pregnant. Harry and Meghan have never named the royals involved but the book claimed they are Kate and King Charles.

Meghan first made the allegation in her and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, in March 2021.

Harry and Meghan then issued a statement saying it was not the late Queen or her husband Prince Philip, but refused to name the members of the royal family.

Scobie’s book marked the first time they have been named.

Despite Scobie denying responsibility for the gaffe, his UK agent did send a draft manuscript of Endgame which named the two ‘royal racists’ to be translated into Dutch, it has been claimed.

Scobie then acknowledged on December 8 that translators in the Netherlands were sent an ‘early’ manuscript that was never updated with the final version which had been proofed by lawyers and had the names removed.
