Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seen more as celebrities than as members of the Royal Family, according to a new poll.
Pollsters Ipsos revealed a shift in the public opinion of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, four years after they quit working as members of the Royal family and moved to North America in 2020.
According to the poll, 60 per cent said the Duchess, formerly an actress, was more a celebrity than a Royal, while 40 per cent said the same for Harry. A further 21 per cent saw him more as a member of the Royal Family, while 20 per cent saw him as both.
The sample size of 1,091 people between the ages of 18 and 75 was taken between 20 and 21 January.
The Duke and Duchess are currently attending the seventh edition of the Invictus Games in Canada, which Harry founded in 2014, bringing together over 500 competitors from 23 nations.
Harry has already been caught dad-dancing, joking and hugging the competitors before delivering a heartfelt speech to open the ceremony.

The Duke of Sussex said: “From the bid for the Games through to this week’s competition, we have walked together, side-by-side on this journey, and are so grateful to you for having these games on your land.”

King grants new Aga Khan title of ‘His Highness’
11:04 , Bryony GoochThe King has granted the new Aga Khan the title “His Highness”, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Charles is continuing a long-standing royal tradition of bestowing the title on the spiritual leader of the world’s millions of Ismaili Muslims.
Prince Rahim Al-Hussaini, 53, was named as the Aga Khan V following the death of his father Prince Karim Al-Hussaini, the Aga Khan IV, at the age of 88 last week.
The late Aga Khan was given the title of “His Highness” by Queen Elizabeth II in July 1957, two weeks after his grandfather unexpectedly made him heir to the family’s 1,300-year dynasty as leader of the Ismaili Muslim sect.
The King was left deeply saddened over the death of the late Aga Khan, who died on 4 February.
The billionaire philanthropist was a personal friend of both Charles and Queen Elizabeth II for many years.

The duke planned to “leverage the role of the royal family” to raise the money for his now-aborted Pitch@Palace entrepreneurs’ scheme in China, according to The Times.
It comes after Andrew’s close confidant Yang Tengbo was removed from the UK on national security grounds after it was alleged he was a Chinese spy.

Inside Prince Harry's visa battle
08:24 , Bryony GoochFive months after the matter was seemingly closed, a lawsuit fighting to make Prince Harry’s private US visa records public will reopen in court on Wednesday.
The Duke of Sussex admitted he had previously taken drugs during his teenage years in his 2023 book, Spare, prompting a right-wing US think tank to suggest he had lied on his documentation or could have been given special treatment by Joe Biden’s administration.
The Heritage Foundation launched a legal battle against Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain his application was rejected, with the think tank claiming it was of “immense public interest”.
In September 2024, the case was closed when a judge ruled that Harry’s application would remain private, as he had a “legitimate privacy interest in his immigration status”.
But on Wednesday, the case will be reopened in a federal court in Washington D.C - months after the now-president Donald Trump said he “wouldn’t protect” the duke.

King Charles pays tribute to Namibia's former president Sam Nujoma
08:19 , Bryony GoochThe King has led tributes to Namibia’s former president Sam Nujoma, who has died aged 95, describing the politician and his dedication to democracy as “truly inspirational”.
Mr Nujoma, who led Namibia to independence from apartheid South Africa in 1990 and served as its first president for 15 years, died on Saturday, the current Namibian President Nangolo Mbumba announced.
In a statement released on Sunday evening, Charles said: “My wife and I were profoundly saddened to learn of the death of former President Sam Nujoma today.
“President Nujoma’s contribution to history was immense, through his leadership of the long struggle for independence, and his subsequent service of 15 years as the Founding President of the Republic of Namibia.”
The King said Namibia is a valued member of the Commonwealth and reflected on a visit his mother Queen Elizabeth II made to the country in 1991.
“I recall with particular gratitude how much Her late Majesty The Queen enjoyed Her State Visit to Namibia in 1991, hosted so graciously by President Nujoma,” Charles said.
“His lifelong commitment to freedom and democracy, overcoming so much adversity on that journey, was truly inspirational.
“It is a testament to the legacy of Dr Nujoma that the Republic of Namibia, as a valued member of the Commonwealth of Nations, still maintains and embodies the values of peace and democracy which its Founding President so keenly promoted and protected.
“Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with the former First Lady, Kovambo Nujoma, their family and the people of the Republic of Namibia at this dreadfully sad time.”

He addressed veterans, adding: "Over the past decade I’ve lost count of the times we’ve heard you tell us that the Invictus Games saved you. Respectfully, I disagree. Invictus didn’t save you. You saved yourself. It was you, who pushed through the doubt and despair.”

ICYMI: Trump rules out deporting Harry: 'I'll leave him alone'
Sunday 9 February 2025 06:00 , Shweta SharmaPresident Donald Trump seems to have ruled out deporting the Duke of Sussex from the US, it has been reported.
Prince Harry now lives in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, but questions had been raised about his immigration status because of his admitted former drug use.
Mr Trump appeared to have ruled out deportation, telling The New York Post: "I'll leave him alone." He added: "He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible."
Meghan has previously been a vocal critic of former reality star Mr Trump and called him "divisive" and a "misogynist".
In 2016, Meghan expressed her support for Hillary Clinton in the US presidential election and hinted that she would leave the country if Donald Trump won.
Harry's reference to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in his book Spare prompted a conservative Washington DC think tank to question why he was allowed into the US in 2020.
