August 2024 · 1 minute read

The Feb. 26-March 1 Morning Consult poll found that Queen Elizabeth II was the most popular member of the family, with a favorability rating of 53 percent. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, was the second most popular royal, while Harry rounded out the top three, with favorability ratings of 49 percent and 46 percent, respectively. 

The survey -- which was conducted before reports that Meghan was allegedly the subject of a senior staff member’s 2018 bullying complaint and that she allegedly wore earrings gifted to her by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman three weeks after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi -- found that her favorability rating (45 percent) was 4 percentage points lower than Middleton’s, though Harry edged out his brother, Prince William (42 percent), the second in line to the throne.
