Prince Harry has been dealt another major blow as his popularity in the UK declines further. The 41-year-old has experienced a decline in his popularity following his decision to step away from royal life back in 2020, a move that has seen him frequently discuss his experience of royal life and launch attacks on his family members.
According to a YouGov poll, Harry’s popularity has declined from 80% of fans having a positive opinion of him in June 2011 to just 31% in January 2026. A poll conducted on what would have been the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday last month, showed this now stands at 30% – a one percent decrease since the start of this year.
Just 6% voted that they have a ‘very positive’ opinion of him, with 24% having a ‘fairly positive’ view.
Meghan Markle and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are the two royals that rank lower than him in the poll.
As of April 2026, Meghan has a 20% positive vote, whilst Andrew has a 3% positive vote.
According to the Daily Mail, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “love famous people” and that they are “very name-droppy”.
Speaking of the couple, a source told the publication: “The association gives them a kick. But if someone stops calling they don’t ask why.”
The couple moved to the US in 2020 with their son, now-seven-year-old Prince Archie.
They later welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in June 2021.
