According to a new poll released today, a narrow majority of Britons now believe that Prince Harry has caused more damage to the Royal Family than Andrew.
In a survey conducted by Delta Poll, 42% of respondents identified the Duke of Sussex, compared to 41% for his uncle, the Duke of York.
For those over 65, the ratio was 56% to 32%, and for those 55 to 64, it was 57% to 27%.
In contrast, half of those between the ages of 35 and 54 said Andrew had caused more damage than Harry, compared to 35% for Harry.
For those between the ages of 18 and 24, the breakdown was 38% to 22%.
According to a new survey, the majority of Britons believe that Harry has done more damage to the Royal Family than William, although their attitudes vary drastically by age.
The survey was based on a sample of slightly more than 1,000 British adults questioned between January 12 and 16.
In recent weeks, Harry, 38, has dominated the news after assaulting his family in his autobiography, Spare, and a series of promotional interviews.
Also, he was the first royal to criticize Andrew, 62, in public, calling the Jeffrey Epstein issue a “disgraceful scandal.”
No one from ‘The Firm’ had discussed allegations that the Duke of York twice sexually attacked Virginia Giuffre, who claimed she was a victim of Epstein’s human trafficking.
Andrew resolved her claim with no admission of culpability a year ago and has consistently denied wrongdoing. However, Harry mentions the incident in his book Spare.
When his wife Meghan wonders if the Royal Family would reduce their security now that they are in the United States, he responds, “no,” given that his uncle still receives protection.
In recent weeks, Harry, 38, has dominated the news after assaulting his family in his autobiography, Spare, and a series of promotional interviews.
Virginia Giuffre, who said she was trafficked by Epstein, has accused the Duke of York of sexually assaulting her. He has vehemently disputed the allegations.
Harry informed her that protecting them was both a “obligation” and a “implied promise.”
When Meghan asked if it would ever be removed, he responded, “Never.” Not in this atmosphere of hatred. And especially not after what happened to my mum.
Also, not in the footsteps of my Uncle Andrew,’ adds the Duke of Sussex.
Even though he was mired in a disgraceful controversy and was accused of sexually assaulting a young girl, no one had considered withdrawing his protection.
People have had numerous grounds to criticize us, but sex offenses were not one of them.
The charge has always been refuted by Prince Andrew.
According to a recent YouGov study, Harry’s favorability has reached an all-time low, while Princess Anne is currently the most popular royal.
Sixty-eight percent of respondents to the YouGov survey expressed a negative opinion of the Duke of Sussex, while less than a quarter viewed him favorably.
According to a recent YouGov study, Prince Harry’s favorability has reached an all-time low, while Princess Anne is now the most popular royal.
Anne, who was not involved in the controversy over Harry’s book Spare, was the most popular royal.
According to the polling organization, Harry scored his lowest ever favorability rating of -44, down from -38 the previous week.
Older British citizens were more inclined to hold a’very bad’ opinion of him and his wife Meghan than they did of scandal-plagued Andrew.
