Why is Kate more popular than Meghan?
Kate has sailed to the top of the popularity contestant, and experts think they might know why.
American royal commentator Christopher Andersen said: “Kate has become an even bigger superstar without ever setting foot here.
“She embodies everything Americans expect in a princess destined to become Queen — beauty, grace, regal bearing and the ability to connect.”
“Whatever royal scandal is making headlines, the Duchess of Cambridge sails above it all.”
However, royal expert Kinsey Schofield said: “Meghan wanted to be the Queen of America. But she’s never been less popular.”

The royal tour is thought to be a worry for Prince Harry and Meghan, according to a whistleblower in a report in Australian mag New Idea.
The source said: “They don’t want the Cambridges coming onto their turf and stealing their thunder.
“They’ve made a lot of noise about their own philanthropic endeavours, but nothing compares so far to the success of William’s new Earthshot initiative.”
