Meghan and Harry’s ‘warm’ welcome in Nottingham proves they still have plenty of support in Britain, duchess’ US ally Sunny Hostin claims
Sunny Hostin said Meghan and Harry’s warm reception during a visit to Nottingham suggests they retain support in Britain, pointing to women of colour who greeted and hugged Meghan. Hostin described the welcome as a positive step after years of criticism and said a return to Britain could bring Harry’s children closer to family and British culture.
The couple’s visit was their first public appearance together in the UK in a week, and came six weeks after they returned to live in Britain. Harry recently told GQ he hoped to reconcile with his father and brother, while acknowledging grief over his relationship with Prince William. YouGov polling cited in the article puts Harry’s favourability at 33 per cent and Meghan’s at 22 per cent; another co-host argued any efforts to repair family ties should happen privately.
In short
- Sunny Hostin praised the couple’s welcome in Nottingham.
- Harry says he hopes to reconcile with his family.
- YouGov polling puts their favourability at 33% and 22%.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The warm Nottingham reception, particularly from women who welcomed and embraced Meghan, may indicate that the couple retain meaningful goodwill among some people in Britain despite years of criticism. Supporters could see a return as a chance for Harry’s children to build relationships with family and experience British culture, while offering the family a fresh opportunity to reconnect.
The case against
A warm greeting from a group of supporters does not establish how broadly the couple are viewed across Britain, and the cited favourability figures suggest their standing remains mixed. Those who favour reconciliation may also argue that family relationships are best repaired privately, without turning a public visit or the children’s upbringing into evidence for a wider claim about support.
