Meghan finds popularity decline 'hard to swallow' - but Harry has 'no interest' in polls
Meghan Markle has been described as "media savvy", with one expert saying that she takes a great deal to heart when it comes to popularity polls.
Meghan Markle is said to find her declining popularity "hard to swallow" - but Prince Harry has a completely different reaction.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seen a sharp decline in popularity in recent years - in both the US and UK.
Harry recently faced major criticism for receiving the Pat Tillman Award for service. This was something that many, including Pat's mother Mary Tillman, thought was a wrong move.
As reported by the Mirror, royal correspondent Jennie Bond said: "It might have been wiser either to decline, or to nominate one of his Invictus heroes as a worthy winner.
"I suppose Americans have now got used to the novelty of having a British prince making his home in their country, and inevitably some of the gloss is wearing off. But Harry remains an immensely likeable man, and I’m sure his personality makes him as popular as ever with people he associates with."

Speaking of how Meghan and Harry differ in their reactions to their declining popularity, she added: "Fame is often a double edged sword: one minute you are sitting atop a pedestal of adoration, and the next you are unroyally knocked off it.
"I don’t imagine that Harry takes a great deal of interest in random polls about their popularity... but media savvy Meghan might find it rather harder to swallow."
Back in May, it was revealed by the Mirror that Meghan and Harry had been named the fourth most disliked celebrities of 2024 in a new Ranker poll.
The couple announced their plans to step down as senior working royals back in January 2020, with them taking on their final royal engagement just two months later.
The pair now reside in California with their children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
