Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s comments about the Royal Family in their recent Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan have been well publicised in recent weeks. Now, it appears the show has not won the couple any new admirers among Brits, as a new survey suggests many would like to see the couple's royal titles removed.
The explosive series features many intimate snaps of the couple including key moments of their lives, including never-before-seen pictures of Archie and Lillibet. The couple signed an exclusive deal with Netflix two years ago which is thought to be worth $112million.
In one episode, the Duke of Sussex said it was “terrifying” for his brother, now the Prince of Wales, to “scream and shout” at him during a meeting on January 13 at Sandringham about plans for Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, to move abroad.

Now a YouGov poll for The Times has found that 44% of respondents feel Harry should have his royal title removed, compared to 32% who said no, the Mirror reports.
Earlier this month Conservative MP Bob Seely said he planned to bring forward proposed legislation that could see it happen.
The Isle of Wight MP suggested he could bring forward a short private members’ bill in 2023 that, if passed, would see MPs vote on a resolution that could give the Privy Council the power to downgrade the couple’s royal status.
He said he had been thinking about the bill even before the Netflix documentary emerged, saying: “There is a political issue.”
The YouGov poll revealed that 23% of those replying felt worse of Harry and Meghan after seeing the Netflix series while 7% said they had a better impression. And 44% of respondents had more sympathy for William and Catherine, with 17% siding with the Sussexes.
