Prince Harry’s public approval has seen a rise following a recent meeting with his father, King Charles. A YouGov poll conducted in July revealed a shift in sentiment towards the Duke of Sussex after the reunion. Harry, accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle and their children, visited King Charles at Highgrove, marking the first time the monarch had seen his grandchildren in years.
The poll conducted shortly after the meeting showed an increase in Harry’s favorability rating from the previous survey. While his approval rating climbed to 33 percent, up from 30 percent in the previous poll, 58 percent of respondents still held a negative view of him, with nine percent undecided.
King Charles, on the other hand, received his highest approval rating since assuming the throne, with 68 percent of the public expressing satisfaction with his performance as King. The poll indicated a consistent level of public support for Charles, with his favorability rating ranging between 59 and 63 percent over the past two years.
Among other members of the Royal Family, Prince and Princess of Wales retained the top favorability ratings at 76 and 74 percent respectively. Princess Anne followed closely with a 70 percent favorable rating, while Edward and Sophie received approval ratings of 53 and 51 percent.
In contrast, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie saw a decline in public favorability, with ratings of 30 and 29 percent respectively. The July 2026 poll marked their return to the public eye after a period of relative absence.
At the bottom of the poll rankings, Meghan Markle received a modest 22 percent approval rating, while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scored the lowest at two percent, with a significant 92 percent of respondents viewing him negatively.
