Meghan Markle ‘unbothered’ after being named ‘most hated celebrity’ in UK but Prince Harry is not…

Meghan Markle may not be Britain’s favourite, but her recent dip in popularity rankings in a survey has raised eyebrows globally. A poll slammed her and Harry with the title of “most disliked celebrities” on British soil, but Meghan’s not letting it rain on her parade. According to a PR Guru, she’s taking it with a pinch of salt and focusing on her new venture in America. This survey won’t be putting a damper on her spirits as much as some might think.

A recent list released by Ranker earlier this week focused on the most disliked celebrities of 2024, causing quite a stir among royal followers. While the Sussexes’ dip in popularity wasn’t shocking, few would have expected them to rank in the top 5. The website, known for its extensive voting and opinion polls on entertainment, brands, and sports, with over one billion votes, placed Meghan Markle at the number 4 position on the UK’s list of most disliked celebs.

“Meghan received a very low score. In fact, it should be noted that 65% of respondents disliked her, and 45% had very negative views of her,” remarked Lynn Carratt from Press Box PR, speaking to the UK Mirror about the popularity ranking. “I believe Meghan will take the survey data with a pinch of salt. I’m not sure how interested she is anymore in winning back the British public,” she added, speculating on the Duchess’s reaction to this news.

Suggesting that as the former Suits star is American, she might prioritize building her brand in her own country rather than the one she left in 2020, Carratt added, “She is American, and that is where her family life is now, so she will likely be more focused on raising her popularity in her own country and concentrating on making her brand, American Rivera Orchard, a huge success.”
Prince Harry likely ‘impacted’ by declining UK popularity
The PR guru suggests that while Meghan remains “less concerned,” “Harry, of course, will be, as it’s his birthplace, and he wants his children to be connected to British heritage.” According to the latest survey, 394.5k votes were cast, with 31.4k voting against James Corden, Meghan Markle, Amber Heard, and others. The Sussexes were ranked fourth on the list of most disliked people.
