00:00 Prince William is more famous in America than Meghan Markle.
00:03 Prince William is more famous than Meghan Markle in America, according to new polling.
00:07 The survey also revealed that Prince Harry is more famous stateside than his American
00:11 wife, who rose to fame there after starring as Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits.
00:16 YouGov's polling of US adults between April and June this year revealed 95% were familiar
00:21 with both William and Harry.
00:24 Regarding Meghan, who was born in California, only 85% said they knew who she was.
00:30 YouGov also polled how popular each of the four were, with the results spelling more
00:34 bad news for Meghan.
00:35 She came in as the least popular, 40% of American adults said they felt positively towards her
00:41 and 23% negatively, giving her a net approval rating of just +17.
00:46 Despite being the least well-known, Catherine, the Princess of Wales was the most popular.
00:51 Some 46% said they liked her and a mere 11% disliked her, giving her a net rating of 35.
00:58 Harry scored a net rating of 24, with 48% feeling positively about him and 24% negatively.
01:05 William scored 22, around 43% positive and 21% negative.
01:10 How to explain the polling results?
01:13 After all, Princess Catherine is a beloved global icon, who will one day be queen, and
01:17 Meghan is notorious for being notorious.
01:20 One possible reason for the results skewing towards the men is that Harry and William
01:24 have been known to the public since their births, as the Spare and the Heir respectively.
01:29 They're also the children of two high-profile public figures, King Charles and the late
01:33 Princess Diana.
01:34 The couple gained notoriety for their bitter divorce, and upon her death in 1997, the love
01:40 of the public for Diana was reflected in her being named the People's Princess.
01:45 Meghan might need to work on her scores if she's to launch a political career in the
01:49 United States, as has been suggested by an expert on all things Hollywood.
01:54 TV journalist Ross King appeared on Loose Women last week and said that Sussexes are
01:58 certainly not as popular as they were in the US.
02:01 Panelist Jane Moore then asked him, "Do you think she could be president one day?"
02:06 He replied, "I think she does see bigger things for herself, so that wouldn't surprise me
02:10 if she ran in some way, governor or, you know, something like that."
02:14 Meghan Markle had high hopes when she joined the British royal family, but it seems like
02:19 her biggest goal was to become as famous as the late, influential Diana, the Princess
02:22 of Wales, after marrying Prince Harry.
02:25 She thought that marrying into the royal family was going to elevate her to a status of what
02:29 Princess Diana had, to be the most famous woman in the world, the most talked about
02:33 woman in the world, who everyone wants to be affiliated with, the royal expert Sarah
02:37 Robertson said on Talk TV.
02:40 How did things go so wrong for the woman who reportedly aspires to be US president one
02:44 day?
02:45 That's where Oprah Winfrey comes in.
02:47 The trio performed together in a wretched interview in 2021 that showed the world what
02:52 vipers Harry and Meghan are.
02:54 Since then, their sources of income have been dependent on trashing his family, airing the
02:58 monarchy's dirty laundry, and one star turn as a Disney elephant for Meghan.
03:03 When speaking about celebrities turning on Meghan, Robertson added, "They don't want
03:07 to touch her.
03:08 They don't want anything to do with her.
03:10 She's been rejected by the very people whose circle she wants to be mixing in amongst.
03:14 This is what she's always craved, this A-list Hollywood lifestyle."
03:18 The royal expert continued, "They refuse to take any responsibility for this.
03:22 They think it's the wicked media sowing seeds of dissent."
