Harry was been very popular up to quite recently, then suddenly he's turning into Mr Markle.

[spathiphyllum]

Yes.

[jackthehat]

No.

[naomi24]

Yes, I think he has become rather unpopular since his marriage. I think he's making a twit of himself - which is a shame. He seems a nice chap.

[Lie-in King]

No.

[ichkeria]

Young single bloke marries and settles down.

Amazing

[ludwig]

He's correct that Harry's become less popular.

He hasn't become less popular with me, because I don't really understand the rather weird media campaign that's being conducted against the pair of them at the moment, or why everyone seems to buy into it.

However, Farage is correct in his observation.

[Ken4155]

He could just be maturing. You know, as people do as they get older:-/

[spathiphyllum]

Trend hoppers. If he cares about the environment that much:

1, have no kids

2, don't travel

3, become a vegan

4, downsize

5, less staff = less carbon footprint.

Lord Farage? When was he garbed in ermine?

[tiggerblue10]

How does he know this? Is it just what he thinks or has he done a poll or something?

[sandyRoe]

Tiggerblue,
his drinking mates in the saloon bar don't care much for miscegenation, whoever engages in it, and aren't afraid to say so.
That'll be his primary source.

[Ellipsis]

I doubt that before taking action on anything, Harry stops to think "Hmm, will this make me more or less popular?" That would make him a bit shallow and imbued in the celebrity culture, which I don't think he is. He does what he wants, within the limits imposed by his position anyway, and people either like it or they don't.

[tiggerblue10]

Harry has done what many men, royal or otherwise, do which is settle down and start a family.

[NellieMay]

How many of us were quite wild in our youth and then settled down to conventional married life with kids. Of course Harry has lost his popularity with the young. The young like rebellious people because they relate to them. I just wish this media campaign against Megan would stop. So yes, to a point, Farage is correct, but he's not ruled by Megan, he just respects her, as she does him.

Unlike most messengers he does not stick his head in the sand with regards 'all things Markle' and will take note of all media references to her latest attempts to bring attention to herself by continuously bucking the trend.She does herself and her new catch a disservice by her apparent lack of social graces. The Prince Harry has shown commendable courage in the past but capitulates to an almost diva like woman who, by ignorance, is the architect of the diminishing popularity amongst their own peers.
A shining example is one recent criticism of her lack of etiquette.
It is neither a Royal protocol or etiquette. Just plain social acceptance and courtesy.
We have had a large group of friends with whom we socialise about three times a year including a soggy BBQ last Saturday. We are four married couples, admittedly, for over 40 years.
When sitting down at the table it is a long held tradition and courtesy to conform to the host's placement. Placement means that the seated ensemble are able to engage in social intercourse by ensuring the conversation is not only between spouses who are deliberately kept apart. We call it the girl,boy,girl boy arrangement. We are too old and mature for any hanky panky under the table linen with our partners but this is what placement is also designed to prevent. To engage in such conduct is a huge embarrassment to other diners and discourteous in the extreme.
Our fiends are not royal or snobs but we know civility and courtesy to our host. They call the shots.
Prince Harry is aware of placement but allows his wife to buck the trend and cause embarrassment. He is at fault for not correcting her on the usual social graces.
As a result of these faux pas, trivial to some, they have become,apparently quite unpopular amongst their own circle of friends and have been shunned.
Don't shoot the messenger please. These antics have been widely reported in various MSM for those who care to read. You want links? There are loads of them if you care to look for them

[retrocop]

friends not 'our fiends'. Lol

[Rockrose]

No he does not have a point
When did he become a lord?

[Khandro]

Isn't it a pity that the likes of 'er
Should put upon the likes of 'im

[youngmafbog]

Sir Nige is bang on again.

Surely it encourages hanky panky with other peoples partners though ;o)
