Meghan Markle’s image appears to be sinking even lower, according to the latest findings from a poll that sheds light on public sentiment in the UK.
Despite her recent efforts to refresh her public persona, the Duchess of Sussex continues to grapple with a plummeting reputation among Britons.
Her unpopularity has intensified ever since she and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020, and they now frequently find themselves at the bottom of the popularity rankings among royal family members.
The new Ipsos poll reveals that Meghan holds the least favorable position among six prominent royals, which include King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and her own husband, Prince Harry.
In fact, her net favourability rating has reached a concerning minus 39.

The sentiment toward Meghan is starkly negative, with approximately 56% of respondents stating they have an unfavorable view of her.

Prince William emerged as the most favored royal, boasting a striking plus 58 score.
An impressive 70% of Brits share a positive view of him, with only 11% expressing negativity.
