The Americans are "growing weary" of the "constant media presence" of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the "lack of actual work", according to a royal expert.
Prince Harry and wife Meghan had been popular in the US since moving there after Megxit, but there are indications that people on the other side of the Atlantic are beginning to tire of them.
Royal expert Christine Ross blamed Harry and Meghan's apparent "lack of actual work or philanthropy" for the shift in US attitudes towards them.

"Americans used to fall into three camps. They were either passionately pro-Sussex or firmly anti-Sussex, and everyone in between didn’t really care either way," the host of the Royally Us podcast told Express.co.uk.
She added, however, that there has been a shift in attitudes.
"Now, we’re seeing a real shift towards the negative as Americans have been barraged with Meghan and Harry’s magazine interviews, Netflix series, book, and press tour.
"The tide has shifted as Americans are now growing weary of the drama and the lack of any actual work or philanthropy."
According to a poll conducted for Newsweek last month, Harry is disliked by 42% of Americans, compared with 32% who say they like him, giving him a net approval rating of -10.

In a brutal episode of South Park shown last month, the Sussexes were the butt of a range of jokes, with one source saying that Meghan was “upset and overwhelmed” by the show that portrayed the fictional “Prince and Princess of Canada”.
The couple even felt compelled to issue a statement denying that they were planning to sue the programme.
Meanwhile, despite the close ties that Harry and Meghan have with the likes of Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres, there are also signs that some TV stars are turning on the couple.
Anchor Megyn Kelly sounded more like Piers Morgan in a recent rant against the Duke and Duchess, labelling them “pathetic money-grubbing spotlight addicts”.
