The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit royal duties last for a new life in California. But royal commentator Kinsey Schofield, founder of royal website To Di For Daily, claimed support for the couple across the pond is starting to plunge.

       She told GB News: "They're causing a lot of trouble, not only over there but over here too.

       "And while I would have told you after the Oprah interview that the support for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was huge, I will say over the last few months people are starting to see that not all of those accusations were correct."

       Ms Schofield added that Harry and Meghan's popularity is "waning in a dramatic way".

       She said: "It is still an issue of age and demographic.

       "Younger people still clamour to them and it's really still the older people who are focused on common sense, that do understand tradition, that are aware of the history, that are starting to think perhaps the Duke and Duchess don't have the best intentions when it comes to their relationship with the Royal Family."

       The Sussexes hit out at the royals in their Oprah Winfrey interview in March.

       And their popularity has also plummeted in the UK in the wake of the TV interview.

       Positive opinion of Harry is at 34 percent, according to a recent YouGov poll, while favourable opinion of Meghan is at 26 percent.
