According to a recent survey, Meghan Markle’s popularity in the UK is on the decline – but she’s likely to take the news with a ‘pinch of salt’, claims an expert.🤣🤣🤣
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been named the fourth most disliked celebrities of 2024 in a new Ranker poll released at the start of the week. Ranker compiles surveys based on public opinion, reports the Mirror.
The Sussexes – who are facing fresh reports they were welcomed to Nigeria last week by a fugitive who allegedly orchestrated a $20million money laundering and bank fraud scheme – join James Corden and Amber Heard on the ‘most hated celebrities’ list.
However, according to Press Box PR spokesperson, Lynn Carratt, Meghan, 42, is likely to be unworried by the low ranking as she would rather focus on success in her native US.
She told the publication: ‘I believe Meghan will take the survey data with a pinch of salt. I’m not sure how interested she is anymore in getting the British public back on her side.
‘She is American and that is were her family life is now, so she will be more concerned in raising her popularity in her own country and focusing on building her brand American Rivera Orchard and making it a huge success’.
According to the publication, out of 31,400 Brits a whopping 65 per cent disliked the Duchess, while 45 per cent expressed negative views about her.
Conversely Meghan attracted only 4 per cent of positive votes.It appears the expert is suggesting Meghan would rather pour her efforts into growing her lifestyle cooking brand American Riviera Orchard, which is likely to keep her in good favour across the pond.
The mother-of-two launched the luxury lifestyle brand – which has so far produced a special strawberry jam – with a glitzy Instagram video back in March.
The Duchess’s project is said to have been in the works for more than a year – and will feature ‘all the things that are close to her heart’.
The flash company is set to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show featuring Meghan on Netflix – where she will be making and selling her own products. It will lead onto a book and blog to go alongside her cookery displays.
It is ununderstood that a trademark application has been made covering cutlery – knives forks spoons – cookbooks and electronic cookbooks, coffee, jams jellies and butters.
It also extends to a physical shop from which tableware, mugs, jams, tablecloths and recipe books could be sold.
