Meghan Markle, Prince Harry to undergo ‘popularity' test this week

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s rift with the Royal Family is set to worsen as new documentary is scheduled to release.

The film titled Harry - The Lost Prince, is scheduled to air on Germany's ZDF and focussed on the life of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Speaking about the repercussions of the documentary, PR expert Ryan Cormick tells The Mirror US: "Until the film comes out, everything is speculation. However, I think that if the special does not get a healthy amount of viewers, it would be a foretelling sign that Harry and Meghan‘s popularity has truly waned."

He continued: "If the documentary reveals fresh scandals and portrays the duo as opportunists seeking to return to the well of royal family secrets (which once propelled them to peak public interest), it will be a calamity for any reconciliation with Buckingham Palace. It will also hurt their reputation and likability."

McCormick explained: "If the film shows the royal exiles as down-to-earth, relatable and with humor it could be a tremendous boost to how they are perceived."
