Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's popularity in the US has drastically fallen since they attacked the Royal Family according to the chairman of Republicans Overseas UK.
Greg Swenson told GB News that the fondness of some media outlets for the Susseses is not shared by the American public.
He added that originally Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were popular in the US when they first moved to the nation two years ago.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched their first public attack on the Royal Family in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
When asked if Meghan Markle was as popular in the US as she was a year ago, Swenson replied: "No, absolutely not.

"I think there's this misconception that she is popular and that Harry's is popular in the US.
"But it's really just because some of the late-night comedians adore them and continue to adore them.
"And some of the traditional media outlets as well as the late-night comedians have a fondness for them that was not shared by the American people.
"And that wasn't the case two years ago that's for sure.
"I mean she was warmly embraced and so was Harry originally in the US."
Last week, Page Six reported that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were introduced to Hollywood dealmaker Adam Lilling by their close friend Ellen DeGeneres, in a bid to boost their incomes.
One industry expert said: “He has worked with Ellen forever, as well as Matthew McConaughey and a bunch of A listers.
“It’s very possible that Ellen introduced him to Harry and Meghan.”
