Duke and Duchess of Sussex have dropped in popularity in the US

Harry and Meghan are flailing in popularity in comparison to Kate and William, according to a recent poll and their 'destructive' actions have done them no favours across the pond.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield discussed the latest results which saw Kate, Princess of Wales be the runaway favourite among American taking 44 per cent of the vote as the USA's favourite royal.


She told Mark Dolan on his GB News show: "Harry and Meghan have been especially destructive towards the Royal Family over the last 12 months, so this is significant because it tells us that their actions have had little effect on public opinion.

"Here in the United States, Catherine the Princess of Wales dominates with a 44 per cent favourability rating.

"Prince William comes in at #2 with 36 per cent, Prince Harry 28 per cent, Meghan 21 per cent."

The Daily Mail poll also revealed that 26 percent think that the Sussexes are far too involved in American politics.

The commentator added: "That might be one of the reasons that Americans have lost interest in them.

"And really it's less is more with with the Princess of Wales. She hasn't campaigned to be popular. She's just quietly got on with the job. And Americans appreciate that."

Speaking on exactly why Americans like Kate over Meghan, Schofield added: "I was thinking about that because Americans also love Princess Diana.

"And I think that the two women are so different. So I was like, why do we love Catherine and Diana? Because they're so far apart.

"Catherine is very quiet and you know, she's just so delicate.

"And but they're also both women that put their children first, are just stunningly beautiful and and seem very compassionate and kind.

"So I do think that that's one of the reasons that Americans fawn over both of them, of them."
