Prince William’s popularity drops in U.K. as Harry becomes favourite royal in U.S.
Global News
Americans seem to be a bit more sympathetic to Prince Harry's plight.
Prince William is facing a substantial dip in popularity in the U.K. after his brother, Prince Harry, shared some not-so-flattering revelations about the heir to the throne in his new memoir, Spare.
The Prince of Wales’s popularity with the British public has plummeted since the book was published last week, according to polling by Ipsos and shared by The Telegraph.
According to The Telegraph, William’s ratings have dropped by eight percentage points, making his current rating some of the lowest figures for the prince on record.
In his memoir, Harry recalls a physical assault by William in 2020 as the two were arguing about Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle.
Harry alleges that William knocked him to the floor of his Kensington Palace home after calling Markle “difficult,” “abrasive” and “rude.”
The confrontation escalated until William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor,” the book reads.
Elsewhere in the book, he details the sibling rivalry between the pair and his feelings of resentment toward his brother.
Despite the dip in ratings, however, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, remain the most popular senior members of the Royal Family in the U.K., the Ipsos poll found, with ratings of 61 per cent and 60 per cent, respectively. Almost 70 per cent think William will be a good king.
