Very well said. "Worldwide" survey means nothing to our royal family.

This was a lovely thought of Harry's and I'm sure it was much appreciated. Sick children can't gather together for awards etc in this climate anyway, but this charity has always had a special place in Harry's heart. His interaction with the families was always wonderfully natural.

I think it is less about who is in the News and more about people who make real impact on people's lives, people who inspire and in most cases people with real depth.
Neither of those fit Meghan. Because in someways they did make news, but they don't really hold much of the above.
I'm actually upset Corona workers did not win, I am very pro Biden and Harris and the positive change they will make, but.. this was not the usual election year, essential workers deserved the honor!

Agree - they often pick the winner of the American election when they are yet to make an impact rather then someone who made an impact already.
I was recently informed that Time magazine barely has a readership and that it has less influence then TikTock so no hard feelings.

Did anyone really think they were going to be candidates - or even in the top 500?
I think the choice is a fabulous and inspired one.

I wonder if any of Harry or Meghan's charities has written to the Palace to have their patron changed. I hope they don't wait for March and then have a run for it. They are probably all waiting for the March decisions.
I was asked if the charities are getting annoyed been used by M&H as transport for their PR yet. Essentially the royals are using the charities for themselves when it should really be the other way around. Then again - any press is good press.

No. People like Hitler who didn't inspire and had no positive impact have won in the past. Time themselves say it has nothing to do with inspiration and is all about who made the news. They have for decades. I figured either Biden or Trump would win. They made the headlines the most. Though I think the corona workers should have won, too.

There's making the news for solid if awful reasons and making the news because you gave up being royal to become a celebrity and move abroad..

They've actually had quite a few awful people win. Stalin won one year. People guilty of terrorism have won. They themselves say it has nothing to do with being good, just being in the headlines most. So it has nothing to do with being good.

Say what you will about Hitler, and there is ALOT of not good things to say (which is something that I as a Jew am naturally aware of) but he did had:
real impact on people's lives (good and bad - my grandparents can attest to the horrific impact he had on their lives), inspired (He was a master speech giver people would not have followed him if he would not have inspired them) and in most cases people with real depth (one can of course debate as to what depth Hitler had)

I mean, Hitler, People guilty of terrorism, Stalin, Putin,... These are people who made an impact, a bad one, but one none the less.

It would have made more sense to me to have the 'essential workers' or the 'care workers' win; because it was Covid-19 that characterized this year worldwide -and they made the difference in many lives- much more so than the American elections.

What sort of bizarre methodology is that? What does normalised & weighted mean in this context?
Who are OnBuy?
In other news a straw poll of yaks have declared the Queen of Sheba to be the world's most popular royal based on tea leaf readings, twitter & youtube views.
Yougov is a serious polling company whereas this OnBuy is patently not. Now, if there is credible data from other countries on their views of individual members of the BRF then I would be interested to know.

Well done!

Two of the nominees Fauci and Cuomo were recognized because of their work re: Covid. That overshadows a lot. And Trump was nominated. ANd Black Lives Matter. Major issues this year. I had no thought of Harry and Meghan possibly being nominated.
