Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have seen their popularity significantly wane in the US, with the couple facing a huge backlash in recent weeks following Harry's acceptance of an award.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 's popularity appears to be dwindling in the US. Initially, the couple were warmly received following their relocation to California, but they have since become increasingly divisive figures.
Harry was honoured for his work with the Invictus Games, a decision that shocked many, including Pat's mother Mary, who questioned why ESPN had chosen "such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award". The backlash was said to have taken the Prince by surprise, reports the Mirror. Jennie also spoke about how the criticism will be affecting Meghan. She told OK: "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."
In an article for The US Sun, the author penned: "Harry and Meghan just love to complain. And in America's largely optimistic society, that is a bad look. While some view the couple's openness as a brave stance against institutional rigidity, many others perceive it as ungrateful and divisive. A segment of Americans, particularly those of us who respect and admire the monarchy, find these repeated criticisms disrespectful and unbecoming.
