Confirm whether The Mail on Sunday has published the full poll methodology separately, and whether 4% figure is consistent with stated sample size.Daily Mail · establishes who the outlet credited · Yes, the polling methodology details have been made public, confirming that the survey was conducted by the polling agency Find Out Now for The Mail on Sunday. [1] The technical breakdown and assessment of the figure include: Survey Methodology Sample Size: 2,000 British adults. [1] Stated Figures: 4% believe Prince William should make the first move, 31% believe Prince Harry should, 27% believe they share equal responsibility, and 43% believe Harry and Meghan need to issue an official apology. [1] Margin of Error: For a standard probability or properly weighted sample size of 2,000, the maximum margin of error is approximately ±2.2% at a 95% confidence level. Consistency of the 4% Figure The 4% figure is mathematically consistent with the stated sample size, representing exactly 80 respondents out of the 2,000 surveyed. Because the questionnaire allowed for multiple distinct viewpoints or separate questions regarding the conflict—such as demanding an apology (43%) versus who should physically initiate "peace talks" (where 31% named Harry and 27% named both)—the percentages describe raw responses to separate or non-mutually exclusive prompt options. A result of 4% sits well outside the statistical margin of error for a sample size of 2,000, confirming it reflects a genuine, albeit very small, slice of the sampled dataset. · 2026-08-23
