Just 4% of Brits think more positively about Harry and Meghan after Netflix show

Harry and Meghan’s Netflix show has made them just 4% more popular in the UK, a survey has revealed.

Some 14% of the 4,026 Brits questioned said the first three episodes of the Sussexes’ docuseries made them think more negatively of the couple.

Meanwhile, the 34% who already had a negative view of Harry and Meghan did not change their minds after watching the show.

Likewise for the 11% who were fans of the couple, according to yesterday’s YouGov poll.

The majority of people who answered against Harry and Meghan are Conservative voters while most of the Brits who feel positively about them vote Labour.

Meghan Markle’s net popularity sits at 27%, while 51% say they do not like her. She is generally liked by younger generations more than older people.

Prince Harry’s numbers are only slightly more favourable, with an approval of 37% and a disapproval of 38%.

After Prince Andrew, the couple are the most unpopular members of the Royal Family.

Their show, called Harry & Meghan, dropped last Thursday and has been the subject of controversy ever since.

They spoke about what it felt like to be ‘swarmed by paparazzi’ and repeated their belief that Meghan was treated with ‘outright racism’ by the press.

Meghan’s flamboyant account of curtseying for the Queen when she met the late monarch for the first time has attracted the most backlash for ‘mocking British culture’.

The episodes were also full of the stuff people love to see from the Royals, including never-before-seen moments of the Sussex children.

They also shared many very personal stories, including a detailed account of how they met and fell in love.

The final three episodes are set to be released tomorrow.
