Meghan Markle Receives ‘Least Popular Royal’ Title in New Talk Show
1Meghan Markle, alongside Prince Harry, continues to face relentless criticism and mockery in various live shows and media appearances. The couple, once celebrated, now finds themselves at the center of backlash and humor, including a notable jab in a Golden Globes speech by a renowned stand-up comedian.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite stepping away from senior royal duties, cannot seem to escape the limelight or the ongoing scrutiny. Over the past year, they have experienced a series of setbacks and snubs, not just from the royal family but also from Hollywood, reflecting a dramatic shift in their public perception.
In a recent development, Meghan Markle has been given an unflattering ‘title’ by a talk show host. Andrew Pierce, on his new YouTube show “The Reaction” launched by Daily Mail, made a controversial claim in the first episode. He stated, “The only consolation for [Prince] Andrew is that Prince Harry is vying with him in the unpopularity stakes for who’s the least popular, I think Meghan is probably the least popular.”
This remark comes after a recent YouGov poll placed Meghan and Harry embarrassingly low in the ranks of the most popular members of the royal family. They secured the 12th and 13th spots, only rating slightly higher than Prince Andrew. The poll revealed that only 24 percent of respondents held a positive opinion of the Sussexes.
Such a stark decline in popularity is indicative of the complex and often contentious relationship between the Sussexes and the public. Their decision to step back from royal duties and move to the United States was met with mixed reactions, and their subsequent interviews and media appearances have further polarized public opinion.
The continuous scrutiny in media and talk shows underscores the challenges Harry and Meghan face in navigating their post-royal life. The couple, once hailed for their modern approach to royalty and social issues, now grapples with a narrative that seems to grow increasingly critical and unsympathetic. This latest ‘title’ attributed to Meghan on a talk show is a testament to the ongoing, and often harsh, spotlight they find themselves under.
