I generally think older white males don't get too worried about Meg and Harry.
They've got the young vote, no doubt... but my perception, reading some of the comments on social media and the news article comments, that most of the scathing criticism comes from middle aged to older females.
One recent poll in the UK found that 41 percent of those aged 55-64 viewed Meghan “very unfavourably”, while 52 percent of those aged 25-34 approved of her. Conservatives voters don't like her but Labour voters do.
Another UK poll conducted after the Oprah interview found that 48% of those aged between 18 and 24 feel more sympathy for Harry and Meghan, while 15% are more sympathetic to the senior royals. Britons aged 25 to 49 are split 28% to 24% between the Sussexes and the Queen. Folk over 50 have more sympathy for the Queen by 46% to 13%, and 55% of those aged over 65 feel more sympathy for the Queen. Those figures should change with Chuck substituted for Lilibet.
A 2020 International Women’s Day survey named Meghan as the most influential woman in the UK. The survey of 5,000 people had Meghan ahead of Greta Thunberg, Rihanna, human rights advocate Malala Yousafzai, and feminist campaigner Jameela Jamil.
A 2021 UK survey found that 55% of 18-24 year olds like Meghan, while 32% dislike her. Harry had similar results with 59% of Britons aged 18 to 24 having a positive opinion of him, with 28% disliking him. In contrast, 69% of people aged 65 and older dislike Harry and 83% dislike Meghan.
I can't find any poll results by gender but the folk who are critical of Meghan are generally older white males. Of course, that could simply reflect the over-representation of older white males in the English speaking media.
