A majority of Canadians would support making Britain’s Prince Harry the country’s next governor-general, according to a poll published Friday as his wife, Meghan, returned to Canada. Sixty-one percent of the Canadians polled said they would support having Harry replace current governor-general, Julie Payette, when her term expires, the National Post said. The favorable poll came despite Harry never having expressed any interest in the post, which has been held by Canadians since the 1950s but was previously held by Britons. Britain’s royal family has been in crisis since Harry and Meghan’s bombshell announcement that they were quitting their frontline duties. She declined to provide further details or confirm the Mail’s report that Harry was likely to join his wife and son in Canada shortly.
