Meghan Markle is one of the least popular members of the royal family, according to the Public First poll for Metro. The only other royal polling as more unpopular than Meghan is Prince Andrew. Though this poll seems to show that the British people feel unfavorably about the Duchess of Sussex, she's actually quite popular with young people in the United Kingdom.
According to the poll, the public's opinion on Meghan was actually quite divided. The Duchess was found to be popular among the young, as well as those who identified as leaning politically left, according to Express. Meghan's approval rating was at 66 percent among 18 to 24-year-olds, while Kate Middleton's approval rating in that demographic was 67 percent.
Though Meghan is popular with younger Brits, her approval rating plummets when it comes citizens aged 55 to 64. With the older demographic, the Duchess's approval rating is at a low 28 percent. When asked if they felt any sympathy for the Duchess after her ITV interview last month where she detailed the struggles of royal life, just 26 percent of the older demographic said they felt any empathy towards Meghan. However, 71 percent of the younger demographic said they did feel sympathy for Meghan's struggles.
While Meghan admitted the constant negativity from the tabloid press has effected her, she also opened up about her desire to be heard rather than unanimously loved. "We all have a story to tell," Meghan said during her visit to Luminary Bakery. “One of the things I have realized since being here [in the UK] is that people have an expectation when I’m coming somewhere, so I’m like, 'Let’s just be really relaxed, keep everyone nice and chilled, because at the end of the day we’re all just women."

Now, I am one of the first FReepers to defend Millenials and youths,. This is because, in part, the ones I know aren't pod-eating woke folk, but also because every generation starts out "stupid" and looked down upon by their elders...and they ultimately wise up. Thus, today's youths deserve the same "time will tell" attitude.
But the U.K. isn't the US, and their culture is eroding faster than America's. Once the Queen dies, simmering Royal dislike will rise up with the not-well-liked Charles ascending to the Throne. I suspect in this mix, there is a high possibility of Meghan and Harry and their anti-Royal posturing becoming VERY well-liked in time.
“I’M as unpopular as Prince ANDREW?!? What is that supposed to mean???”
“... You should visit Mum more often?”
She is a mess
it’s all about the Benjamins, baby
I don’t think so.
Am Not British.
But judging from so many comments I have read I think they will be judged harshly for being all about the money instead of duty.
Cash over Duty
no wedding ring

I suspect not because of Harry but more because of rejection of Palace, history, Royal Duty, etc.
Harry was popular until he brought home that idiot. He pretty much had his choice. He chose poorly.
here is the first Hillary type cash grab

Once the Queen is gone, there will be no more royals.
>>> Andrew . . . popular with youths
Sure. Girl youths.

Thus is unsustainable. This says they’re keeping the titles, the tax payer money and security and house but wanting to flog it on the shopping channel too. It’s not radical, it’s utterly entitled. The British public simply won’t continue to fund that arrangement. One or other.
Instead of the Diana and Charles divorce fiasco, the Brits now have the Megan and Harry fiasco. Hope they are stripped totally from their allowance.
Meghan Kardashian.
I dunno...the family has done well since 1991.
Just ain’t the same without Freddy !
They are worth about $10 million each. Really no need for the royal “stipend.”
