**Prince William’s Popularity Surges as Prince Harry’s Plummets**
Amidst the ongoing dynamics within the British royal family, a notable shift in public perception has been observed, with Prince William's popularity on the rise while his brother, Prince Harry, faces a decline, as per insights shared by a royal expert.
The siblings, known for their close yet competitive relationship, saw a significant transformation following Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to step back as senior royals in 2020.
Camilla Tominey, an associate editor at The Telegraph, highlighted that a key aspect of Harry and Meghan's discontent with the monarchy stemmed from their perpetual sense of being overshadowed by the Cambridges.
The narrative takes an intriguing turn with the couple's pursuit of financial independence in California, a move that seems to have garnered mixed reactions from the British public.
According to Camilla, a considerable portion of the populace would rather see the Sussexes fade from the limelight altogether.
She pointed out the evident contrast in the brothers' public reception, noting, “It must frustrate Prince Harry that his own popularity has become so obviously inversely proportional to his brother's.”
The competitive undertones that once characterized their relationship seem to have intensified post the Sussexes' relocation and subsequent endeavors in the United States.
Recent polling data from YouGov further underscores the shifting sentiments towards Harry and Meghan, revealing that a significant majority of respondents advocate for the couple to either relinquish their titles or cease utilizing them altogether.
Camilla emphasized how the commendable performance of William and Kate only serves to accentuate the repercussions faced by Harry and Meghan for disrupting the unity of the ‘Fab Four' in the initial stages.
