Meghan Markle’s popularity has decreased over the past few months, according to a major survey.

This week the latest statistics were released, revealing that Meghan Markle is at her lowest point in terms of popularity since she hooked up with her now-husband, Prince Harry, in 2017. Read on to see who came in last.
