Popularity of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan has continued to fall after the royal's memoir, "Spare," hit the shelves this week, with 68% of Britons now sharing a negative opinion about the member of the royal family, YouGov poll showed on Thursday
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 12th January, 2023) Popularity of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan has continued to fall after the royal's memoir, "Spare," hit the shelves this week, with 68% of Britons now sharing a negative opinion about the member of the royal family, YouGov poll showed on Thursday.
The autobiography bares all on his life in the shadow of his elder brother, Prince William, � hence the title � while criticizing the royal family and British tabloids.
A survey conducted by YouGov from January 10-11 found that only less than a quarter had a positive opinion of Harry following the release of the book and a string of promotional interviews.
Pre-memoir, 59% thought badly of Harry, according to a December 8, 2022 poll, while 33% said their opinion was positive. Meghan, a former American actress, remained the royal family's least liked member, with only 8% having a positive opinion of her, versus 87% who see her negatively.
Asked about Harry's possible motivation for publishing "Spare," 41% said the main motive was to make money and 21% said it was to tell his side of the story, with "publicly condemn the royal family" a distant third with 9%.
The tell-all memoir also dealt a blow to the royal family and the institution of monarchy as a whole, with 55% down from 62% last year saying the royals were "good value for money." The number saying they were "bad value" rose to 32% from 25%.
