Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are losing the support US citizens as the royal couple are told to "grow-up" following publication of Harry's bombshell memoir Spare.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appear to be losing popularity and souring their reputation in America every time they speak and "whinge", according to opinion polls.
Last week, Newsweek magazine revealed an exclusive survey that showed Prince Harry had dropped 45 points in US public opinion and Meghan fell by 36 points in just one month.

The couple's plummeting popularity coincides with the publication of Harry's memoir, Spare, and associated media tour with multiple high-profile interviews.
His book became the fastest-selling non-fiction title ever, shifting 1.4 million copies in its first day of release. However, his approval rating prior to the book's release was +38 and is now -7. Meghan Markle's popularity fell from +23 to -13 in approval points.
Eric Schiffer, an American PR expert, told the magazine that Prince Harry's reputation in his adopted home country was on the brink of "spontaneous combustion".
The survey also found that almost half of Americans said Harry was wrong to include details of private family conversations in his book.
The Sun spoke to a selection of American citizens about the royal couple to gauge their opinion.
Patricia Bardaghaiw, 56, a novelist from Connecticut, told the paper: "I didn't like this sort of 'truth' (from Spare) it is oversharing. I could have done without the frozen penis. But that's our society now."
In Memphis, Marlon Bradford, 49, added: "Harry should have recognised he's not like the rest of us and not exposed all that dirty linen. It's an ugliness we don't really want to see, even though all families have that side to them. It's made so many people uncomfortable."
Even Bethenny Frankel, 52, a former Real Housewives Of New York City star, who made a living by letting cameras into her private life, said disdainfully: "How much more? I mean, what's next?"
Patricia Lavelle, 42, an immigration lawyer from Brooklyn, added: "I've tried to give Harry a lot of grace, given he has been through a great deal of trauma. But you just don't do this to your family."
Daisy Graham, 21, from Memphis told the paper: "I love the British Royal Family. Before the book, I was very pro-Meghan Markle but now I have an issue with them, they seem so whiny. They have all this privilege but still whinge.
"It makes me think, 'Come on, grow up'. It's like they're telling us they have all this nice stuff but she's moaning about wearing a certain colour to an event. I mean, really?"
