Harry and Meghan break unpopularity record in UK
A new Atlantic divide? While Harry and Meghan have lost their allure according to the Brits, the Americans have rallied around their racial cause. According to a British YouGov poll, however, the Sussexes' accusations of racism have not tainted the popularity of the British royal family.

The popularity of the princely couple formed by Harry and Meghan has plummeted. According to a survey by the YouGov institute published on Friday, March 12, the British are more likely to have a negative opinion of Prince Harry (48 percent), against 45 percent of positive opinions. This is quite a turnaround from just a few years ago when Harry beat the Queen in the popularity stakes.
Thus, is this the first time that the balance has been reversed for the Duke of Sussex. As for his wife Meghan Markle, only 31 percent of respondents have a positive opinion of the former American actress against 58 percent of negative opinion.
This decline in popularity comes after Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah Winfrey on the American channel CBS. On March 7, they explained their distance from the royal family to live in the United States. The couple then gave several reasons: media pressure from English newspapers, alleged racism from a member of the royal family and even the lack of support in the face of the supposed loneliness of Meghan Markle, which had resulted in “suicidal thoughts”.
Despite these accusations, the opinion of the British vis-à-vis the royal family has not waned. Sovereign Elizabeth II retains the lead with 80 percent support. Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton also remain very popular (75 percent). On the other hand, Prince Charles, Harry’s father, saw his popularity drop by 9 points, reaching 49 percent. At the same time, negative opinions of him climbed by 6 points (42 percent).
On the contrary, Americans saw the interview with Harry and Meghan in a different light. The confessions of the pair have sent them skyrocketing in the polls. According to Morning Consult, Prince Harry now enjoys 69 percent positive opinions. This is 23 points more than before. As for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex gained 22 points, increasing her rate of positive opinions to 67 percent. According to the Morning Consult poll, the couple has overtaken of the Queen, who enjoys a 65 percent approval rating.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

I don’t know who these “Americans” are that were polled; perhaps moronic Oprah viewers only. But I am repeating myself. Everybody I know (normal working Americans with minds of their own, not sycophantic empty-vessel lemmings who swallow anything a celebrity says without hesitation) despises them both, especially Markle, and it sure as hell isn’t because of her mixed race. It’s just that they recognize a phony, lying, grasping harridan when they see one.
I’d give you 50 up checks if I could.
Count me in!
1,000 for me …
Wait? What? Harry & Megan skyrocketed in American polls? Where the f*ck did this happen,the west coast? Here in middle America the many folks that discussed this interview didnt watch and don’t care for H&M.
I believe that the situation around Harry’s mother – Princess Diana – and her death drastically affected him, and the “Palace” did not adequately address his trauma with counseling and other mental heath professionals when he was young enough for it to do any good. You can see it in his repeated voluntary trips into combat, and in his selection of a wife that he would have to “defend/protect”, thereby atoning for his “failure” to defend/protect his mother.
That’s an interesting observation and makes sense to me.
Sorry but I’m calling bullsh*t! No way do Americans like these twits…the poll must have been taken in hollyweird.
In Oregon, we can’t stand the Sussexes, entitled, spoiled whiners. Wish they’d move to the Bahamas and shut up.
I’m sure mehgan was lonely living in a foreign country with no family or friends, but she sure as hell doesn’t care that she put harry into the same position. Anyone who can support family trashers are garbage.
I am an American and these two grifters are an embarrassement to the UK and America. If fake news in Britain says we love them they are lying.
The Duchess of Compton. By the way, did you see the size of Oprah’s head?
YouGov is rubbish
Where did you do the American polling, Hollywood and NY City, lol. Everyone hates the Markle woman and everyone knows Harry is a dunce. Everything out of the US media is fake and has been for a long time. It will be interesting to see what happens as the same forces that destroyed Trump by attacking him 24/7 and pushed an incompetent Biden down our throats is pushing Harry and Meghan and are out to destroy the Royal family. Quite literally, 95% of the media simply lie an push the marxist agenda and bringing down the Royal Family, the very essence of western civ would be quite the coup.
Apparently there are only enough conservatives in Florida to have any sway in America. Losers are abandoning their home states faster than illegals pouring over our border. Weak kneed, lazy, cowards running to the last bastion. How do you fools expect one state to overcome the ruin of 49. You don’t care.
No…americans thought the Oprah interview was ridiculous and we are ridiculing all three now.
These polled Americans probably were the Americans that helped the voter fraud take place and steal the last election.
Be very afraid the rest of the world. President dementia is running things into the ground.
Please…. people over here hate her guts as much as the brits do. Someone set up a go fund me to help pay for their mansion since the crown cut them off and it was closed after three days because 3 people had given a total of $150.
Well it’s her little teen base. For regular folks out here in America who have lost jobs, lost loved ones due to COVID and are having real hardships, we don’t give a flip about them and their complaints and wouldn’t waste any time taking an opinion poll. Cry us a river Meghan… RF is so racists they gave you a wedding, walked you down the aisle, gave you a house to live in, hired help, etc. That’s really tough! You want privacy. Stop doing interviews! And Harry, most of us in the U.S. don’t have daddy’s who support us. We get cut off out of HS or college. What happens when you get a REAL job. And Harry, for those of us with Jewish family, friends, we are kind of not over you and your Nazi uniform costume debacle. Now that wasn’t racist at all, was it?
Where was the poll taken? In Hollywood, New York or Monte Carlo? I could give a rats arse about either one of those royal ignoramuses. As far as I can tell, Markle is only half black and runs around pretending to white, if she truly wants to be black then she should get an afro, wear her ancestor’s garb, get FGM, beat up their maids and learn Swahili. Harry is just a spoiled idiot, who doesn’t know any better.
