Although Meghan Markle resides in the United States with Prince Harry, it is Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, who has managed to capture the attention and affection of the American public.
This phenomenon is surprising, especially considering that Kate has been away from public life due to her cancer treatment.
However, her situation has had the opposite effect in terms of popularity, as indicated by a recent report by GB News.
Kate Middleton’s popularity in the U.S.
According to sources cited by GB News, Princess Kate has dominated conversations in the United States, while Meghan and Harry have failed to establish a significant presence in the country.
Despite their efforts to stay relevant through their branding and international tours, such as recent ones to Nigeria and Colombia, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have “dropped out of conversations” in the U.S. public sphere.
A friend and advisor to the royal family commented that, during a recent visit to Los Angeles, he noticed that public interest was focused on the King’s health and Princess Kate, rather than Harry and Meghan.
Kate Middleton’s popularity has proven to be a valuable asset to the British monarchy. This year, millions of people showed interest in her health status, highlighting her connection with the public.
The source told: “What they haven’t been able to do is create a public presence that’s respected and popular.
“I was in LA recently and was struck by how they’re not the topic of conversation.
“Everyone wanted to know about the King and Kate’s health. Harry and Meghan have dropped out of the conversation.”
In contrast, Harry and Meghan continue to strive to gain notoriety, with plans to launch new projects, including a collaboration with Netflix and their lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, next year.
As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attempt to establish their brand in the United States, the figure of Kate Middleton continues to be a beacon of interest and admiration, cementing her place in the hearts of many Americans.
