A royal correspondent suggests that although Prince Harry is expected to visit the UK for the Invictus Games anniversary, there is still more to be done to convince the British people. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare for their return to the UK next month, calls are growing for them to “do more” to improve their standing with the British public.
The urgency of a popularity boost is felt as Prince Harry is due to attend a major service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8, marking the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The Games, co-founded by Prince Harry and launched in London in 2014, have served as a symbol of resilience for ill and injured service members.
If the presence of Prince Harry is confirmed, it remains uncertain whether Meghan Markle will accompany him. A recent YouGov poll highlights the couple’s current standing in British public opinion, with Prince Harry favored by 31% and Meghan Markle trailing behind with 21% favored.
Royal correspondent Cameron Walker, speaking on GB News, noted that the couple “still have a way to go” to win over the British public, contrasting their support with the overwhelming favor garnered by Prince Harry’s sister-in-law Kate , Princess of Wales.
Awaiting Prince Harry’s return, concerns have been raised that Meghan Markle could “steal the spotlight”, distracting from the intended focus of the Invictus Games anniversary event. The upcoming visit represents a pivotal moment for the couple who want to reconnect with the British public and reshape their public image.
As they navigate the complexities of royal duty and personal pursuits, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face the challenge of balancing tradition and modernity while meeting the expectations of an attentive public. As preparations are underway for the memorial service, all eyes are on the couple as they struggle to navigate the complex landscape of royal responsibilities and public perception.
As the countdown to their return to the UK continues, the question remains: will they win the hearts of the British people?
