Prince Harry drops 45 points and Meghan Markle 36 points in a month in US poll trends now
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seen their popularity plummet in the United States in just over a month, following the release of his controversial tell-all memoir, Spare.
The couple, who were previously hugely popular in the U.S., have sunk in the polls as Prince Harry launched a fresh attack on the royal family and revealed a range of intimate details such as how he lost his virginity in his new tell-all memoir.
Spare became the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time on the day of its release earlier this month, topping sales charts around the world including in the US, according to its publisher.
The new polling comes as Harry's candid revelations and allegations about members of his family, most noticeably his brother Prince William.
It has also put in jeopardy the family's chance to set aside their differences at the coronation of Prince Charles III later this year.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have both seen their approval ratings drop dramatically since the beginning of December
Prince Harry's book, Spare, was released on January 10 and quickly became one of the fastest selling non-fiction books ever, but the fallout from the Duke's book looks set to linger
New polling by Redfield & Wilton for Newsweek revealed Prince Harry now has an approval rate of -7 on January 16, compared to +38 on December 5.
Meanwhile Meghan Markle had an approval rating of -13, compared to +23 on December 5.
The poll, which was made up of 2,000 US voters, marks a serious backslide in ratings for the couple, who moved to the country after stepping back from royal duties in March 2020.
On Monday Prince Harry was liked by 31 percent of those polled and disliked by 38 percent.
Meghan Markle was liked by 26 percent of those polled and disliked by 39 percent.
