**LONDON** – Prince Harry’s popularity in the UK has taken a significant dive since his departure from the Royal Family, according to a recent poll. The Duke of Sussex, who left royal duties in early 2020, has seen his approval rating drop from 71% to just 30%, while his disapproval rating has skyrocketed from 22% to 60%.

Royal author Ingrid Seward attributes this decline to Harry’s controversial statements about the Royal Family, particularly those made in his memoir “Spare.” Seward told The Sun, “I think what people really dislike is that he dissed his family.”

Meanwhile, Prince William, the heir apparent, has taken on a more prominent role in the monarchy, carrying out official duties on behalf of his father, King Charles. William recently attended the Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Air Force College in Cranwell, sporting a new beard and military uniform, which received enthusiastic praise from royal fans.

Despite the ongoing rift between the brothers, there are signs of a potential reconciliation. Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Diana’s sister, has been playing a role in bridging the gap between the two princes, joining them at the memorial service for their uncle Sir Robert Fellowes. She is seen by many as a potential peacemaker.
