Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, remain deeply polarizing figures as they make a return to public life in Britain. While some Britons welcome seeing the couple back on the national stage, others remain firmly opposed, underscoring just how divided public opinion about them continues to be.

Recent surveys suggest the broader public views both of them negatively, especially in comparison to Harry's brother, William, and his wife, Kate. The Prince and Princess of Wales continue to command far more favorable ratings, highlighting the gap that has widened between the two couples since Harry and Meghan stepped back from their roles as senior working royals.

"They're always going to be polarizing," the prevailing sentiment around the couple's return suggests, reflecting a view shared by many observers of the royal family. For supporters, Harry and Meghan represent a modernizing voice within the monarchy; for critics, they embody a rupture with royal tradition.

As the couple re-engages with British public life, their standing appears unlikely to shift quickly. The divide looks entrenched, with the pair's popularity continuing to trail well behind other senior members of the royal family.
