Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing renewed calls to have their Royal titles stripped following their interview with Oprah.

The fallout over the controversial two hour tell-all continues and a new poll reveals how British people feel after seeing it air in the UK.

The survey found 51 per cent of people believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should lose those titles for airing the Royal dirty laundry, according to the Daily Mail.

There were 28 per cent of respondents who said they should keep those names and a further 21 per cent who said they didn't know how they felt.

Nearly half of those surveyed reckon the Royal Family came off worse in the Oprah interview, but in a different question Prince Harry and Meghan were slated for being more concerned with media attention rather than duty and service.

Interestingly, there was an obvious divide among different generations in the way they perceived the interview.

Older Brits found it more difficult to accept what the Duke and Duchess alleged in their discussion, while a majority of younger people said they believed what was said.

There was also a ranking system that looked at who was the best and worst perceived within Buckingham Palace.

The Queen naturally came out on top, however the public perception of her had been downgraded two points as a result of the interview.

Prince William was second, but his rating had dropped seven points, and Kate Middleton also suffered a big drop of eight points, which isn't surprising considering Meghan alleged she made her cry just before her wedding.

Prince Harry was sixth and suffered a huge 15 point drop. Meghan was second last on the list of 10 and has seen a six point drop in her popularity.

All ages of people surveyed believed whatever was said during the wide ranging chat should allow both sides to 'bury the hatchet' and make up.

Queen Elizabeth II has issued a statement in the wake of the Oprah interview and expressed her sadness that the Duke and Duchess feel the way they do.

The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan," the statement read.

"The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning.

"While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members."
