Meghan Markle Dismisses Ranking on ‘Most Disliked’ Celebrity List
London, May 25, 2024: Meghan Markle has responded with indifference to her inclusion on Ranker’s recently released list of the “Most Disliked Celebrities of 2024.” The poll, which surveyed over 31,000 Britons, found that 65% of respondents held a negative view of the former actress, placing her fourth on the list.
Determined Focus on American Popularity
According to PR expert Lynn Carratt, Markle is unperturbed by the results. Carratt believes that the Duchess is focused on building her popularity in the United States, where she now resides with her family. “She will be more concerned with raising her popularity in her own country and focusing on building her brand American Rivera Orchard,” Carratt said.
A History of Unfavorable Reception
Markle’s inclusion on the “Most Disliked” list is not an isolated incident. In recent years, she has faced criticism for various reasons, including her high-profile marriage to Prince Harry, her perceived “celebrity” lifestyle, and her interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry for CBS and Netflix’s “Harry & Meghan.”
American vs. British Perspectives
The Ranker poll underscores the vastly different perceptions of Markle held by British and American audiences. While she may be unpopular in the United Kingdom, she enjoys a more favorable reputation in the United States. This disparity reflects the cultural and social differences between the two countries and Markle’s efforts to distance herself from the British Royal Family.
Continued Media Scrutiny
Despite her attempts to distance herself from the spotlight, Markle remains a subject of intense media scrutiny. Her every move and statement is dissected and analyzed, often leading to negative headlines. This relentless attention has undoubtedly contributed to her low approval ratings in the United Kingdom.
PR Strategy and Image Management
Markle’s PR team and advisors face the challenge of managing her image both in the United States and the United Kingdom. Moving forward, they must navigate the delicate balance between maintaining her authenticity and appealing to a broader audience. As she pursues her projects and endeavors outside the Royal Family, her ability to manage her public image will be crucial.
