According to the market research company Ipsos, which polled 1,036 adults between October 20-21, only 17% of Brits had a "favorable view" of Meghan Markle, which is a 39-point decrease. 56% of survey participants had a negative opinion of the Suits star.
However, Prince Andrew continues to be the least popular member of the royal family.

Meghan Markle, who struggled to find her place within the royal family, discussed her discomfort with her past lifestyle while promoting her brand As Ever.
"No, I don't find — I'm just being myself. So I think, probably, it was different several years ago, where I couldn't be as vocal," Meghan told The Circuit.

"I had to wear nude pantyhose all the time," Meghan Markle continued. "Let's be honest, that was not very myself. I hadn't seen pantyhose since the '80s, when they came in the little egg? That felt a little bit inauthentic, but that's a silly example."

Meghan Markle said it was tough for her to follow the rules when she was part of The Firm.
"But it is an example of when you're able to dress the way you wanna dress and you're able to say the things that are true and you're able to show up in the space really organically and authentically, that's being comfortable in your own skin. And that's, of course, had different chapters in my life," Meghan said. "But right now, no, I don't feel, I don't feel that I need to prove anything."
