From Newsweek:
Meghan Markle's public image has taken another hit as polling out of the U.K. suggests she is now more unpopular among Britons than ever.
A survey by global public opinion and data company YouGov in Britain between June 7 and June 8 found that the duchess' net positivity rating currently stands at -47 percent. This is down six points from data compiled by the company in April.
Of the 2,014 U.K. adults surveyed, 24 percent said they had a "very" or "fairly positive" view of Meghan, with 65 percent responding that they viewed her "very" or "fairly" negatively. 11 percent said that they "don't know."
The resulting -47 net positivity rating is Meghan's lowest since YouGov began polling on the duchess in 2017 after her engagement to Prince Harry. Her lowest previous score was registered at -46 percent in January, following the release of Harry's memoir, Spare.
YouGov's June data shows that Harry too has seen his popularity fall once again among his compatriots, registering a net positivity rating of -36 percent, down from -34 in April.
After the dust settled on Spare's January publication, in which Harry made a number of bombshell revelations about members of the royal family, Meghan's positivity score began to look like it had taken a turn for the better, but this new result follows another difficult period in the timeline of Harry and Meghan's post-royal life.
In May—between YouGov's April and June polling—news broke that the duke and duchess had been involved in what their spokesperson described as a "near catastrophic" two-hour paparazzi car chase through the streets of New York City.
Americans tend to be more sympathetic to Meghan, not sure why, but it appears that most feel “sorry” for her. I don’t think “pity” is what Meghan was going for, so that’s a gotta be a big blow to her ego as well.
