All of England is shocked by Meghan Markle: There are worrying details

A relevant and shocking piece of information that is based on certain key moments in Meghan and Harry's life

Public opinion is a changing thermometer that can elevate or bring down those in the spotlight. In recent years, the British royalty has experienced this phenomenon strongly, and none of its members have been exempt. The relationship with the people and the press is a delicate balance that can vary depending on the times.

Expectations and hopes for the new faces of the monarchy are usually high, but they are also susceptible to sudden changes. History shows us that behind the shine, the cameras, and the protocol, there are complex realities. And these affect public perception and the emotional stability of their protagonists.

A notable decline in popularity

The results of the survey conducted by YouGov in May 2025 reflect a notable decline in public acceptance of Meghan Markle. Only 20% of Britons keep a favorable opinion of Meghan, whereas 65% express a negative view of her. This is the lowest level recorded since opinions began to be collected in 2017.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry also experiences a drop in his public image. According to the same information, 27% of Britons perceive him positively, compared to 63% who see him unfavorably. This trend coincides with the latest interview given to the BBC in which Harry expressed words that have polarized opinions.

Differences between generations, the impact of the 'Megxit' and the controversy

The survey also reveals a marked division between British generations. Young people tend to have a more favorable view of Meghan and Harry, while the older population keeps a more critical profile. This phenomenon shows the evolution of social perception of the monarchy.

Meghan was perceived at the time, in union with Harry, as a renewal of royalty. However, the moment marking the drop in popularity was the announcement by Meghan and Harry in 2020 of stepping down from their official roles. This was followed by an increase in public criticism, driven by words about family issues and the couple's lifestyle.

These factors have contributed to Meghan and Harry being seen as two of the least liked members of the royal family. According to surveys, only Prince Andrew surpasses the Sussexes in terms of unpopularity within the United Kingdom. Despite being distanced from official British life, Meghan and Harry now face a difficult scenario regarding their public image.
