KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry's popularity is rumored to be dropping
  • The Duke of Cambridge is rumored to be more popular than Prince Harry
  • Prince William and Prince Harry's popularity is compared by netizens

Prince Harry’s approval rating is rumored to be dropping because of Meghan Markle.

On the online forum site Quora, some netizens claimed that Prince William continues to be more popular than his younger brother because he and Kate Middleton have earned the public’s respect.

Lana DeSimmone, a former student at Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute of the Actors Studio, said that the Duke of Cambridge is more popular than the Duke of Sussex because he has rarely done things inappropriately.

The future king also chose to marry the Duchess of Cambridge, who is dignified and was raised with a very straightforward British upbringing.

“Prince Harry has always been his own man and seems to make many of his own rules. He’s chosen a wife in Meghan who has a liberal American background and who seems to have expressed the same self-satisfaction,” she said.

But Irene Ambrose came to Prince Harry’s defense by saying that Prince William has adjusted to his life as a husband, father, and future King a long time ago. The Duke of Sussex, on the other hand, just got married last year and his son, Archie, was born earlier this year.

Ion Vasile, a world-renowned savant doctor and an engineer, said that it’s not true that Prince Harry’s popularity is deteriorating.

“There is a small difference between them, but not enough to affect their relationship. Harry is more patriot and closer to the people while William is more elitist. They just need to keep close; everybody in the UK needs to keep close and eliminate the traitors and enemies,” he said.

Two months ago, YouGov asked 9,000 participants to name their favorite royal and Prince Harry ranked higher than Prince William after receiving 71 percent of the votes. Prince William, on the other hand, only received 69 percent of the votes.

But Queen Elizabeth beat Prince Harry and Prince William after she was named as the most favorite royal with 72 percent.
