Meghan Markle Faces Major US Popularity Decline Amid Royal Family Disputes

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue to face significant public criticism and declining popularity in the United States, as highlighted by their ranking among the most disliked celebrities in a recent survey by Ranker. Meghan has made multiple subtle criticisms of the British Royal Family through her media projects, including her Netflix lifestyle show and podcast, reflecting ongoing tensions and dissatisfaction with her former royal life. A notable controversy arose when Meghan insisted on being called 'Sussex' rather than her maiden name during her Netflix show, which was perceived as a pointed message aimed at the Royal Family amid ongoing disputes over the use of surnames. Reports reveal that Prince Harry sought to change his family name to Spencer, his mother's maiden name, but faced legal obstacles, leading the couple to adopt 'Sussex' as their family name, a move that has caused confusion and raised eyebrows. This surname issue underscores the couple's strained relations with the royal institution and their efforts to establish a distinct family identity outside traditional royal conventions. Overall, the Sussexes' media presence and personal choices continue to fuel public scrutiny and royal family tensions, impacting their image and relations with both the public and the monarchy.
