In a major blow to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the British public has overwhelmingly supported the decision to remove the Duke of Sussex from the line of succession and revoke his royal titles. A poll conducted by YouGov found that 80% of Britons support the decision, while only 15% oppose it.
The poll comes after Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from royal duties and move to North America in January 2020. The couple cited the intense media scrutiny and lack of privacy as their reasons for leaving.
However, the public’s support for the decision to remove Harry from the line of succession and revoke his titles suggests that many Britons believe that the couple has overstepped their bounds. The poll also found that 69% of Britons believe that Harry and Meghan should no longer be allowed to use the titles “Prince” and “Princess.”
The decision to remove Harry from the line of succession and revoke his titles is a significant one. It is the first time that a member of the royal family has been removed from the line of succession since King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936.
The decision is also a major blow to Harry’s personal brand. He has built his career on his royal status, and the loss of his titles will likely damage his image and make it more difficult for him to make money in the future.
It remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of the decision will be for Harry and Meghan. However, it is clear that the couple has lost the support of the British public, and that their future as royals is uncertain.
In addition to the poll results, there have been a number of other signs that the British public has turned against Harry and Meghan. A number of businesses have severed ties with the couple, and several charities have asked them to return donations.
The couple has also been criticized for their lavish lifestyle and their decision to sue the British press.
It is clear that Harry and Meghan are facing a number of challenges. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to overcome these challenges and rebuild their public image. However, the latest poll results suggest that the task will be a difficult one.
