PRINCE Harry and wife Meghan are less popular in the US than disgraced Prince Andrew, a poll shows.

It comes after they were lampooned by the animated comedy series South Park, which portrayed them going on a Worldwide Privacy Tour and promoting book Waaagh, a spoof of Harry’s memoir Spare.

Andrew popularity has plummeted after he settled out of court with his sex accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre

Since December, Harry’s approval rating has sunk 48 points to -10 and Meghan is down 40 to -17, according to a survey done four days after the South Park show aired.

Andrew is still viewed negatively after his New York legal battle against sex accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre, with a rating of -2.

After the South Park episode aired, some reports said 41-year-old Meghan had been left ‘upset and overwhelmed’ by the couple’s portrayal.

But a spokesman for Harry, 38, and his wife, later slammed speculation that they were planning to sue the creators, blasting the rumours as “boring and baseless”.

It came as Defence Secretary Ben Wallace yesterday slammed Prince Harry for “boasting” about his Taliban kill count in Spare.

He said had “let down” his former Army colleagues by telling how many he had killed in Afghanistan.
