Most other polling also indicates.
Younger people, under 35 are strongly supportive of her.

As you head upwards the polls narrow.

Once to the over 50s, then the results become much larger of being against her.

Maybe this poll only asked the over 50s or 60s.

Then again those of that age I know as neighbours or family, do believe her more than don't.

I put no faith in any polls now, haven't for years.
I'm surprised anyone does.

. I've no faith in polls whatsoever, whether they're favourable to my own view or not so.

Sorry but it's utter tripe in my view.

It’s basically an age split according the Sky polls ..

Over 50s back the ‘family’ ... the rest Harry and Meg

Yes, that's the more uniform results of the ones they've presented as more serious ones..
As much as any polls can be serious that is.

twitter polls aren't really reliable, there's so many of them on twitter with different results.

Exactly I don't trust that as far as I can throw it , we always know opinions on Meghan & Harry are divided though.

where is the link for goodness sake?

Because I just saw a Facebook poll that had 100% in favour of Meghan and Harry and it had nearly 25 million votes so that tells a different story.

As the days go by their accusations are being exposed as lies.

I’ve heard there is more to come from the ‘interview’....anyone else heard that?

"Blasts back"

We all saw the actual video.

Just confirming what Harry and Meghan are saying; the press are full of ****, inventing a narrative that sells.

A journalist bleating "is ur family racist?" as William walks past and him replying "No" is being framed as him giving some sort of official response where he "blasts back" at what Harry has said.

It's a flat out lie. It was posted here; we've seen it with our own eyes. British press is a pointless circus.

"British press is a pointless circus. "


Yes I thought they would go for this topic,
it was a cheeky SkyNewsHD young reporter
that got the scoop from Prince William.
Not LBC.

The more I think about it .. I wish William had stopped in his tracks then approached and confronted the reporter .

He should have turned the tables on what sounded like a young upstart trying to make a name for himself .

If William had turned and embarrassed him in front of all those cameras-?for asking the question in that disrespectful manner I bet the story would be about that cocky young reporter instead ... William would be more respected as well maybe ...

As I said before and yes TS the press are full of inventive nonsense.
Whatever your other word was I agree with it too.

I was surprised Prince William didn't do as his Father did and just ignored the question.

All that has been said is that some member of the Royal family has said an inappropriate racial comment as to an unborn baby's skin colour.
That's all.

A comment felt offensive to those it was directed at.

No one, not a single person nor Prince Harry or Meghan have stated, that the Royal Family collectively or that any member of the Royal family is racist.

Nowhere has that been said other than by this reporter.

The only thing is a comment, of a racial nature which may or may not have been said inadvertently.
However what it is, is grossly inappropriate and should never have been made or asked.

well that wee journo guy got the story onto just about every newspaper around the globe (NYT, WP, Irish Times, Oz papers, Times of India etc)

SO that is why he asked - that will go straight on his CV

The continual need to make out there is some all out war going on with the family is bizarre.

Like, this 'william has not spoken to harry since oprah!!!!' as if thats news. If they are anything like me and my siblings, they will talk weekly maybe, sometimes longer. It wouldn't be unusual at all to go a few days.

'Charles hits back and states firmly while looking menacing, 'I do not think my family is racist' in shock twist, as naturally, any other family would be more than willing to publically admit to racism and be slaughtered.' (thats not me saying it was wrong to be mentioned mind. I don't think it was wrong. Though, I will be honest and say the whole 'it was said by someone but not the queen!' stuff does come across a little..attention seeking.)

'THe queen shows her power by STRIPPING grandson OF HIS TITLES. However will he SURVIVE?!'

Its just..such tosh. Like, I don't think they will be miles away from a 'normal family' really. Maybe unusual in that obviously they are one thats quite close as they still meet up regularly which is more than many families. A family member getting married, then leaving the family business is nothing, surely. I mean, the statements from both sides seem to back that up. Unless you try and read into them something thats maybe not there. On face value..no issues. And who hasn't dealt with a family member/friend making public something others would rather stay hidden too. Again, it happens. Its not this huge armageddon once in a lifetime rare thing surely?!

Not even sure what I am getting at now really. But I still don't believe there is any real rift. I think some members might be miffed at the racism thing, but it will blow over..as family arguments do. Maybe, it will be one of the times a family argument makes a bit of difference overall too. Maybe not. The press are ****ing vultures though. Thats the story for me, that they are still going on like rabid animals..and that it seems to be allowed, hell even expected these days, for the rags to misrepresent, twist, and even outright lie!

As TS said really

Just confirming what Harry and Meghan are saying; the press are full of ****, inventing a narrative that sells.

I get they exist to sell copies/get clicks. But some ****ing truth wouldn't be amiss. Even throughout the covid crisis, they have been more about fearmongering half the time, as it sells more, than...well behaving responsibly in any way and giving unbiased news.
