LONDON, March 9 (Reuters) - Britons are divided on how the
royal family treated Prince Harry and his wife Meghan according
to age, with a majority of young people saying it was unfair and
half of older people saying the opposite, a YouGov opinion poll
showed on Tuesday.
Overall 32% were in each camp on the question of fairness,
while 36% didn't know.
Age was the dividing line. Some 61% of 18-24s said they were
treated unfairly, but support ebbed away as respondents aged and
half of those over 65 said the couple were treated fairly.
Oprah Winfrey's interview with the couple, in which they
accused a family member of making a racist remark about their
son and Meghan said she had been alienated to the point of
contemplating suicide, was broadcast in Britain on Monday.
More than a third of Britons said their sympathies lie with
the Queen and members of the Royal Family, while one in five say
that they sit with Prince Harry and Meghan, according to the
poll. Three in ten said their sympathies were with neither and
one in ten said they were with both.
