In latest Harry and Meghan news, the royal couple have been issued a huge boost as the reason behind their apparent rising popularity has been revealed.
For nearly seven years, 38-year-old Harry and 41-year-old Meghan have got plenty of tongues wagging nationwide. And while Brits are slightly divided by the couple, who tied the knot in 2018, across the pond it’s a different story.

Harry and Meghan news
Clive Irving, author of The Last Queen, reckons their popularity is down to one key detail. In a new interview, he claimed it’s because of all the charitable work that the couple do.
Both of them are involved in issues that really matter.
“Harry and Meghan are far more popular in America because they are a very modern couple and they deal with modern issues,” he said.
Speaking to to the Express, Clive added: “Both of them are involved in issues that really matter but Harry in particular pays a lot of attention to the care of former military people that have suffered from various stresses.”
The author also went on to note how “Americans have come to see the monarchy much more like Harry and Meghan than Charles and Camilla”.
What does the data say?
What’s more, new data has found that Americans are rallying around the Sussexes in large numbers.
