Meghan Markle is the eighth
most admired member of the Royal Family despite the Megxit controversy, a new
poll shows. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is fifth in the list topped by Prince
William and Kate in first and second place.
In the survey of 2,000 Britons
by The Sun, King Charles was the third most admired royal with Princess Anne
fourth.
Sophie Wessex and Queen
Consort Camilla are sixth and seventh respectively, with Prince George ninth
and Prince Edward tenth.
However, the Duke and Duchess
of Sussex proved most popular with younger people in the polling.
Harry was the first most
admired royal and Meghan the second among 18-24-year-olds.
They are least admired among
older people with the Duchess of Sussex tenth for over-65s, while the Duke does
not even make the list of the top 10.
Meanwhile, the polling found
that 40 percent did not think the couple should return as working royals.
Some 30 percent said yes and
another 30 percent did not know. Harry and Meghan quit royal
duties in March 2020 for a new life in the US.
The couple announced their
bombshell Megxit decision in January 2020.
They wanted a half-in half-out
role but the proposal was rejected amid fears they would be accused of cashing
in on their royal status.
The Sussexes are now pursuing
new lives of personal and financial freedom in California.
They have set up a home in the
celebrity enclave of Montecito with their two children Archie and Lilibet.
