The news comes after Meghan was recently trounced by Kate in a major popularity poll.

The results, published in New Idea Royals magazine, show Kate is number one among royal fans, soundly beating Meghan in a range of categories including favourite

royal couple, most stylish royal,  most loved royal and favourite wedding dress. 

William and Kate came out on top as the people's choice for 'Favourite Royal Couple', winning a whopping 65% of the votes. 

In comparison Harry and Meghan - who were married in May 2018 - only won 11%.
