The internet is having a field day after Meghan Markle landed second place on the 2025 “Most Hated Celebrities” list, trailing just behind Sean “Diddy” Combs, who currently faces multiple legal controversies. A viral fan post shared screenshots from Ranker’s list, showing Markle sitting at #2 with over 43,000 votes, while Diddy took the top spot with around 25,000 votes. The post, captioned “The most hated celebrities list of 2025 has been published, Meghan Markle is number 2 just behind Diddy!” quickly exploded across social media, especially among royal watchers.
The royal commentary pages didn’t hold back. The verified account @RoyalWatchUK sarcastically wrote, “She can’t even be the best at being the worst.” Others piled on with jokes and snarky remarks, turning the list into an online roast. One fan quipped, “Looks like this is a category she actually should have won. The amount of votes for her is much higher. Well done!” Another chimed in, “Should be No. 1 as she’s got twice as many negative votes as Diddy…” Even fan accounts dedicated to The Prince and Princess of Wales joined in on the laughter, replying with strings of crying-laughing emojis and comments like “I agree!”
Meghan Markle’s Path From Hollywood to Royal Life Was Anything but a Fairytale
Meghan Markle’s journey from Hollywood actress to royal figure, and back into the media spotlight, has been anything but smooth. After gaining fame for her role as Rachel Zane on Suits, Markle’s life changed dramatically when she married Prince Harry in 2018, officially becoming the Duchess of Sussex. What followed was a whirlwind of global attention and escalating tension.
The couple’s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, dubbed “Megxit,” sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and ignited a fierce media storm. Since then, Markle has faced years of scrutiny over everything from her strained relationships with the royal family to allegations of being “difficult” behind the scenes.
Markle’s Explosive Oprah Interview Shattered the Palace’s Perfect Image
Her explosive 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview added fuel to the fire, with candid claims about racism within the royal institution and her struggles with mental health while living in the UK. Markle, who was pregnant with daughter Lilibet at the time, spoke candidly, admitting she had reached a breaking point while living under royal scrutiny. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she said, explaining how requests for help were allegedly dismissed by palace officials.

But the most explosive moment came when Meghan and Harry claimed that “concerns and conversations” were raised about how dark their unborn son Archie’s skin might be, a bombshell that stunned viewers and sparked international headlines. The couple declined to name who made the remarks, though the fallout sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and fueled public debates about racism within the monarchy.
