According to a widely cited Ranker poll reported by Yahoo Entertainment, Meghan Markle has claimed the unenviable title of most “disliked celebrity” of 2025—a sharp escalation from her previous years’ placements further down the list. Even more striking? She traded the top spot with controversial music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs throughout the voting period, underscoring just how polarizing her public image remains.
But she’s not alone. Prince Harry, too, appears in the top 10 most disliked celebrities, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-beloved royal. For many, this fresh humiliation hits Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at a time when they hoped to be seen as global changemakers—not punchlines.
The internet didn’t hold back. In the wake of the Daily Express and Mirror coverage, comments poured in—some dripping with sarcasm, others with genuine disappointment.
“Congratulations on getting top spot, Meghan. An award at last that you truly deserve,” quipped one user on The Mirror.
“Too funny!! Well earned 1st place Meghan!!” another echoed.
And the jabs didn’t stop there. One sharp observer noted:
“Netflix should be so proud—they both finally cracked the top 10. Way to go!!!”
But beneath the mockery lies a more nuanced truth. While Meghan Markle may have grown accustomed to public scrutiny, insiders suggest Prince Harry—once the UK’s golden boy—feels this fresh humiliation far more acutely. As one commentator observed:
“Markle will hardly bother—it will largely bead on her. But Harry is much too sensitive. For him, it will be a shock.”
This sentiment resonates with long-time observers who remember Harry’s days as the affable, freckle-faced prince adored across Britain. His fall from public favor—accelerated by memoir releases, media feuds, and perceived betrayals—has been as swift as it is painful.
Unlike past controversies that centered on palace politics or tabloid speculation, this fresh humiliation hits Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the realm of global public opinion—a space they’ve worked tirelessly to dominate through documentaries, podcasts, and lifestyle branding.
Yet rankings like Ranker’s, driven by open public voting, reflect something raw and unfiltered: genuine sentiment. And right now, that sentiment is turning.
For royal watchers, the news has left them reeling—not necessarily out of sympathy, but from the sheer unpredictability of the Sussexes’ trajectory. Once hailed as modernizers, they now grapple with a narrative they can’t control.
As 2026 dawns, the couple must decide whether to double down on their current path or recalibrate. Will Meghan Markle pivot away from high-profile media projects? Could Prince Harry seek quieter, more grounded advocacy work?
One thing is certain: this fresh humiliation hits Meghan Markle and Prince Harry not just as celebrities, but as symbols of a fractured royal experiment. And for the loyal—and not-so-loyal—royal fans reeling from this latest twist, the story is far from over.
