**Prince William’s Popularity Remains Strong Despite Brother’s Bombshell Allegations**

Prince William's popularity seems to have weathered the storm caused by the explosive revelations made by his brother, Prince Harry, in his recent memoir, “Spare.”

Despite the strained relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales in recent years, fueled by Harry's shocking claims about physical altercations with his brother, public sentiment towards William remains surprisingly positive.

Data from the first quarter of 2023, based on a YouGov poll of 1229 individuals in Britain, indicates that 65% of respondents hold a favorable view of Prince William, while only 17% express dislike towards him.

This results in a net popularity rating of plus 48 for William, a slight decrease from the previous quarter but still comparable to other members of the Royal Family.

In contrast, the picture is starkly different for the Sussexes, who have distanced themselves from royal duties and settled in California.

The same data reveals that only 29% of Britons view Prince Harry favorably, with a significant 51% expressing dislike, leading to a net popularity score of minus 22.

Meghan Markle fared even worse, with just 23% approval and 50% disapproval, resulting in a net popularity of minus 27.

The release of Harry's autobiography, where he detailed the breakdown of his relationship with William over Meghan's marriage, may not have had the intended impact on public perception.

Harry's account of William allegedly disparaging Meghan as “difficult, rude, and abrasive,” and the shocking claim of physical aggression, including being grabbed by the collar and knocked to the floor, has not resonated well with the public.

Despite the rift, Harry expressed a desire to reconcile with his family, acknowledging the damage caused by his public revelations.

In an interview with ITV, he expressed his wish to mend his relationship with his father and brother, emphasizing a desire for reconciliation.

The contrasting public sentiments towards the two brothers raise questions about the effectiveness of Harry's attempt to tarnish William's image through his memoir.

The data suggests that while Harry's disclosures have garnered attention, they may not have achieved the desired outcome of diminishing William's popularity.

As discussions around the royal rift continue, the future of the relationship between Harry and William remains uncertain.

Will there be room for reconciliation, or has the damage caused by recent events irreparably strained their bond?
