Views on the media treatment of members of the Royal Family 2021

In March 2021, CBS aired a revealing Oprah Winfrey interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, regarding their rift with the British Royal Family. This was just over a year after the couple announced that they would begin to restrict media access to their lives. Harry and Meghan have had a tough relationship with the press throughout their marriage, and 50 percent of British adults thought that Meghan had received an overly critical treatment from the media just prior to this interview, with 44 percent believing the same of Harry's treatment. By contrast, the media treatment of Harry's brother Prince William, was seen by just five percent of people as being overly critical.
