In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Amber Heard, James Corden, and several other notable personalities have found themselves among the least favorite figures of 2024, according to Ranker, a renowned website for objective polls on entertainment, brands, sports, food, and culture. After gathering an impressive one billion votes from millions of unbiased participants, Ranker proudly announced its list of the most disliked celebrities of 2024. The top 20 winners include Mark Zuckerberg, Harvey Weinstein, James Corden, Kylie Jenner, Logan Paul, 6ix9ine, Kanye West, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Jake Paul, forming an A-list lineup.
Notably, the list also features Chris Brown, James Charles, Sean Combs, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry, Ellen DeGeneres, Amber Heard, and Meghan Markle. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's inclusion on the list stems from their decision to move to the US, which apparently didn't sit well with the UK, as they were seen by some as abandoning their royal duties. Megan Markle's popularity in the UK has continued to decline, while her sister-in-law, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, remains the most well-liked member of the British royal family, according to a recent poll conducted in May.
The May poll, which measures public favorability towards the British royals, revealed that 65% of respondents hold a negative view of Meghan Markle, while only 22% view her positively. This marks a decline in her favorability since April when a similar poll showed that 64% of British adults disliked her and 26% liked her. Prince Harry's popularity hasn't seen a recovery either, as 61% of respondents view him unfavorably, while only 29% have a favorable opinion of him.
In contrast, Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who has been undergoing cancer treatment and has stayed out of the public eye, topped the royal family favorability list for the second consecutive month in May. A staggering 74% of Brits stated that they have a favorable view of her, while only 13% held a negative opinion. Prince William, her husband and Prince Harry's brother, secured the second spot in May's rankings with 73% of respondents having a positive opinion of him and 18% holding a negative view.
Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II's daughter, claimed the third place with 70% of Brits liking her and only 13% disliking her. King Charles III, the father of Prince William and Prince Harry, who is currently battling an undisclosed form of cancer, was ranked fourth. Sixty-four percent of respondents expressed a positive view of the monarch, while 28% held a negative opinion. Following closely were Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, and her husband Prince Edward, with both receiving favorable opinions from over 50% of Brits.
Queen Camilla, King Charles's wife, ranked seventh on the list, with exactly 50% of Brits viewing her favorably and 38% unfavorably. Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice fared better than their cousin Prince Harry, with 37% of respondents holding a positive opinion of the sisters. However, their father, Prince Andrew, remained the most unpopular royal, with a predominantly unfavorable view from the country at 86%. Overall, 60% of British adults expressed their liking for the royal family, while 32% indicated that they did not, according to the May poll.
