Americans reveal what they really think of Prince Harry – and where he ranks in popularity against brother William in YouGov poll
Prince Harry is the second most popular living member of the Royal Family among Americans – behind only his brother Prince William, a poll has revealed.
Some 56 per cent of US adults have a positive view of the Duke of Sussex while 21 per cent a negative opinion, according to the YouGov study for The Times.
The Prince of Wales meanwhile has a 63 per cent positivity rating in America and 10 per cent negative, which puts him in first place among living royals.
The most popular royal overall is William and Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, who died in 1997, with a 79 per cent positive rating and 4 per cent negative.
The late Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2022, is in second place with a 73 per cent positive and 8 per cent negative ranking. William is in third overall and Harry fourth.
Harry, who moved to California with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020 after stepping down as a senior royal, is more popular among Americans than his sister-in-law Kate.
The Princess of Wales has a 49 per cent positive rating and 6 per cent negative, while his father King Charles III’s ratings are 48 per cent positive and 27 per cent negative.

But William, Harry, Kate and Charles are all more popular than Meghan, the only US citizen on the list, whose ratings are 41 per cent positive and 25 per cent negative.
Even less popular than Meghan are Princess Anne (38 per cent positive; 6 per cent negative) and Prince Edward (38 per cent positive; 10 per cent negative).
Queen Camilla meanwhile is at joint-bottom in the table with a 26 per cent positive and 33 per cent negative rating.
This is the same rating on both counts as the disgraced Prince Andrew, who stepped back from royal duties in 2019.
They were also the only two royals on the list with a net negative polling figure.
The poll of 1,296 US adults was carried out between April 21 and 23, before Harry’s bombshell BBC interview last Friday in which he called for ‘reconciliation’ with his family.
The survey also found that a majority of Americans backed Harry and Meghan’s move to the US, with 42 per cent saying they approved while 19 per cent disapproved.
Some 61 per cent have not changed their opinion on the couple since their move to the US, but 17 per cent said it was now worse and 10 per cent said it was now better.
Harry said last Friday that his ‘devastating’ loss in the Court of Appeal, which rejected his bid to reinstate his round-the-clock police bodyguard in the UK, meant his family could never return to Britain.

He also claimed in a dramatic BBC television interview that Charles will not speak to him and he does not know ‘how much longer my father has’.
The Duke described his court defeat as a ‘good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up’.
But his decision to speak out appears to have worsened the chances of an end to his estrangement, amid suggestions the King and his brother William will fear more than ever that any conversation with Harry would end up in the public domain.
The rest of the Royal Family put on a united front in London yesterday to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day in London as they watched a procession and flypast.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis made a rare public appearance with their parents William and Kate to see the spectacle alongside Charles and Camilla.
