There has been a noticeable shift in the popularity rankings of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite stepping down from their roles as senior working royals in 2020.

The couple, known as the Sussexes, seem to wield significant power when they are together.

However, a recent ranking that considers the entire royal family indicates a decline in their influence and appeal.

According to The Daily Beast’s royal power list, the Prince of Wales and the Princess of Wales have seen a surge in popularity, especially due to the Princess of Wales’s renewed dedication to royal duties.

In contrast, the Sussexes have not experienced any increase in popularity.

The Duke stands at a 34% approval rating, while Meghan lags behind at 26% less popular than her husband, as reported by the magazine.

The Prince of Wales maintains a popularity rating of 67%, accompanied by a remarkable fame rating of 97%.

Despite facing a health challenge earlier this year, Princess Catherine’s popularity surpasses her husband’s, standing at 71%.

However, her fame ranking is slightly lower at 95% compared to the Prince of Wales.

Even though the Sussexes trail behind the Wales in likability, the magazine characterizes them as more daring and captivating than other senior royals.

The Duke boasts a flawless fame rating of 100%, while the Duchess is steadily climbing with a rating of 94%.

In January 2020, the Sussexes officially declared their decision to step back from their senior royal roles.

Subsequently, they announced plans to start a new chapter in the United States.

Prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, the couple made their final appearance at a royal engagement.

Throughout 2020, Meghan and Harry settled into life in California, welcoming their son, Prince Archie, who is now almost one year old.

Following their departure from royal duties, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, now parents to their daughter Lilibet, have been vocal in criticizing the royal family.

They have openly discussed their experiences within the institution, including the Duchess’s revelations about encountering racist remarks from unidentified royals.

In conclusion, the dynamics within the royal family continue to evolve, with the Sussexes navigating a new path away from traditional royal obligations.
