Meghan Markle faces embarrassment with humiliating end of year poll
Meghan Markle is facing a new embarrassing situation as she has been featured on a humiliating end of year poll. It has been revealed that she has topped the list as one of the most "disliked celebrities" of 2025.
The Duchess of Sussex has been set at first place on the Ranker list after featuring lower down the chain in previous years. The list is decided by votes and public opinion which is a big blow for the 44-year-old.
Meghan has been in the top 10 on the list since 2023 however it seems she has moved further up over the years. She and Sean Combs have moved in and out of first place during this time.
• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'make redundancies' after major unexpected change
• 'I helped Meghan Markle before she suffered family tragedy but her next move surprised me'
According to Yahoo Entertainment, the list is also a blow for Meghan's husband Prince Harry who is also placed in the top 10. Users vote in real time which means that the celebrity positions can often change.
This comes as it was reported Meghan and Harry lost their 11th publicist in just five years after losing their chief communications officer.
It was revealed last week that Meredith Maines, who worked for the couple for less than a year, will be “pursuing a new opportunity” in 2026 after a year of “inspiring work” with the couple.
Harry and Meghan have also parted ways with US-based PR agency Method Communications, which was hired in June this year to promote the couple’s business and philanthropic endeavours.
According to LinkedIn, Maines started working as chief communications officer (CCO) for the Sussexes in March 2025. She wrote that as CCO, she oversees “all external communications” for the pair.
This includes Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, which was first launched in April this year, their media production company, Archewell Productions and their joint charity, Archewell Philanthropies.
Since news of her stepping down, it appears a briefing war has erupted, with some saying Maines's leaving comes after the handling of a row over deleted photos of the Sussexes after they attended a party thrown by the Kardashians.
One source told the Daily Mail: "Her tenure has been an absolute disaster. If she did in fact quit then she's getting out to save face before it gets worse... She's telling others that she is helping with the transition but this does not scream amicable to me."
However, another hit back and said: "She really enjoyed her time there but at a certain point it is time to go... They begged her to stay to manage the transition of the Archewell Foundation and other transitions. She stayed to do that.
"Meredith feels that she has done what she set out to do. She launched the show and the brand and the website. She also got Harry to meet with his father in September, which was a priority that they set out to achieve."
While in a statement, Ms Maines said: "After a year of inspiring work with Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Archewell, I will be pursuing a new opportunity in 2026. I have the utmost gratitude and respect for the couple and the team, and the good work they are doing in the world."
