Not sure if this is the proper thread but Harry and Meghan were polled as the royals the public can most relate to. Here is the poll.

I can't say I am all that surprised about Harry but I was about Meghan. Nice to know despite the press and such wanting to paint a view of her not being liked due to her background and viewes that it would seem that is not the case. For now anyways.
Yes, it seems to me that in general, most people around the world are realistic about our commonalities as humans. I also feel that most people are either neutral or bear goodwill toward two young people in love. Then there are those who tend toward jealousy and hatefulness, then there are a small smattering of racist thinkers, and then there are those who are very supportive of Harry and Meghan, including fans of Meghan from her
Suits days, and then those who love her fashion sense, and those who are overjoyed to see a woman of color entering the monarchy for many different reasons.
There are all variety of opinions. At bottom, once again, Meghan and Harry are just two young people in love who are getting married. But the royal wedding aspects adds the OTT interest, romance, drama and scale of attention.
It makes sense to me that Harry and Meghan are seen as the most 'relatable' members of the royal family currently. That view has resonance. Even Harry said during their engagement interview: "We both know that we make a fantastic pair." I think Harry means that in terms of the way they both genuinely care about helping others in need, and that together through combining their strengths, they can do a great deal of good in the world.
In any case, it's a good thing that Harry & Meghan are seen to be so relatable. And it's interesting too that the public notices that when normal persons inherit the throne, they automatically become less relatable. So it seems that too is what the public love about H&M -- the fact that they can continue being relatable and down-to-earth more-so than William and Catherine can. In many ways, W&C's personalities seem to suit the roles they will inherit, although I also suspect W&C are much more fun, down-to-earth and rambunctious in private than they allow themselves to show in public.
Still, I also get the sense that Harry & Meghan have helped W&C to feel a bit more at ease and relaxed. As well, H&M can serve as foils as well as be very supportive both publicly and privately to W&C.
