Harry and Meghan’s Popularity Plummets as Fans Boycott Duke’s Memoir
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly suffering a decline in popularity in both the UK and the US.
According to Nigel Farage, the royal couple's recent interviews about royal life have done some damage, and royal fans are beginning to lose interest in them.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex left royal duties in March 2020 to pursue a financially independent life in California.
However, their recent interviews about royal life have been met with criticism.
Farage claims that the couple's comments have caused some damage, and royal fans are losing interest in them.
Data analysis firm HypoDetour has revealed that 700,000 people have stopped following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Instagram account in the past year.

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge now boast 13 million followers on the same platform, gaining 1 million new royal fans in 12 months.
The Queen's royal family account has also gained 1.3 million more followers.
Experts claim that people have grown tired of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's attitude.
Farage believes that the polls show people are disinterested in buying or reading the couple's new book.
He added that most people he knows don't want to hear another word from them ever again.
Ultimately, they are discrediting themselves.
The Sussexes' popularity has been fluctuating since they stepped down as senior royals in March 2020.
In April, their popularity dropped even further following Prince Philip's funeral.
The couple's popularity previously plummeted in the wake of their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they made accusations of racism within the royal family.
They haven't regained favor with the British public since, with Prince Harry's popularity falling another three points following the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh.
According to a YouGov survey, public opinion of Prince Harry had remained largely negative despite his return home for his grandfather's funeral.
The figures showed 43 percent of Britons had a positive opinion of Prince Harry, while 49 percent regarded him negatively.
This gave the once-popular Prince a net score of minus six in terms of popularity, a drop of three points from March 12.
Meghan's popularity scores also fell slightly following a sharp decline in March.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were left off Barack Obama's birthday party guest list last month, a move which royal expert Angela Levin claims they won't get over.
Camilla Tomini, associate editor of The Telegraph, has claimed that the Sussexes' interview with Oprah Winfrey has not gone down well with the former US president and first lady who always put family first.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to have a busy period after the arrival of their second child as they launch content for their Netflix and Spotify projects.
Harry and Meghan signed multi-million dollar contracts with Netflix and Spotify to create content for the platforms after leaving the royal family in March 2020.
Royal commentator Olmed Scobie has claimed that after months of leave, the royal couple is getting ready for a busy period.
In conclusion, Harry and Meghan's popularity has taken a hit in recent months due to their interviews about royal life.
Their Instagram account has lost 700,000 followers in the past year, and their popularity scores have been declining since they stepped down as senior royals.
Despite their upcoming busy period, it remains to be seen whether the Duke and Duchess of Sussex can regain their former popularity.
