Meghan’s rating is down at 31 per cent

But Meghan’s rating is down at 31 per cent, a year after she and hubby Prince Harry gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey.

And things are about to get worse for the Duchess of Sussex later this year, with Prince William and his wife planning their first trip to the US since 2014.

American royal commentator Christopher Andersen said: “Kate has become an even bigger superstar without ever setting foot here.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield said: “Meghan wanted to be the Queen of America.
