Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent efforts to improve their image haven’t made much of a difference in Australia, according to a new poll.
The Roy Morgan survey of 1,767 people revealed that the majority of Australians were aware of the recent visit of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, 59% were of the opinion that they would not want Harry and Meghan to remain in the country, while 41% said they would.
The results also showed that the trip had a limited impact on public opinion, with only 19% saying it had improved their view of the couple.
On Harry’s relationship with King Charles, 13% of respondents believe the visit could help repair their strained relationship.
Meanwhile, another report claims that Harry feels the positive response he has received from the public in the country has reinforced his view that he and Meghan can play an important role in representing the monarchy.
The insider said, “Harry and Meghan are very happy with how the trip went. It has given them a lot of confidence and strengthened their belief that the situation is finally turning in their favor.”
He added, “He knew there would be some sarcasm from critics, but in his eyes, the overall reception he received from the general public – and the causes he supported – was incredible.
“It confirms Harry’s belief that they are creating a ground-breaking new blueprint that will stand him in good stead moving forward – and he hopes it will impress the royals.”
