Meghan Markle continues to reign as the most disliked celebrity for the fourth year in a row, according to a poll conducted by Ranker.
The Duchess of Sussex has consistently seen her notoriety soar, this year outpacing public figures such as the contentious Kanye West and the controversial P Diddy.
With a staggering 78% of voters designating her as their least favoured, her position clearly reflects a public readiness to voice their opinions on celebrity conduct.
Ranker’s announcement shed light on why certain figures like Markle have managed to polarise opinions so starkly. It stated, ‘Each of these figures managed to distinguish themselves through their actions, steering the public opinion against them.’
While many celebrities have faded into obscurity following past controversies, Markle appears to have maintained her divisive status through a series of high-profile incidents which have resonated with audiences this year, as reported by celebratingthesoaps.com.
Voter sentiment seems to suggest that Markle’s actions and public persona have continued to stir frustrations among royal fans.
From the recent buzz surrounding her use of titles on commonplace items, implied snubs towards royal traditions, and her distinctive ‘DS tote bag’ these behaviours have contributed to the growing resentment among segments of the public.
Adding to the atmosphere of discontent, Markle’s unconventional gifts to her husband, Prince Harry, have kept her in the spotlight, albeit in a negatively tinted light.
Whether viewed as a philanthropist, an American-born member of the British royal family, or a former actress, one thing is clear: Markle’s universal dislike seems more than a passing phase, as her presence in the public eye continues to generate scrutiny.
Additionally, The Hollywood Reporter’s late 2024 acknowledgement of her as one of the year’s most disliked personalities solidified her unsavoury reputation further within industry circles.
In the shadow of Markle’s infamous ranking, Prince Harry finds himself somewhat lower down the list. The Duke of Sussex came in at fourth place, following Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs, Jada Pinkett Smith, Andrew Tate and Prince Andrew.
