Meghan Markle's Montecito Mole Reveals All: Why She's the Unpopular Royal

A survey of American adults found that a meager 41 percent of Meghan's countrymen hold a positive opinion of the Duchess of Do-overs – as she seems to careen from one failed post-Megxit career relaunch to the next.

MEGHAN, MEGHAN, WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?

The Duchess of Do-overs, Meghan Markle, is facing a wake-up call as a new opinion poll reveals that only 41% of Americans have a positive opinion of her. The Viscountess of Montecito, who was once touted as the perfect addition to the British Royal Family, has failed to impress in her post-Megxit career relaunches.

The poll, which surveyed American adults, found that Meghan ranked below King Charles and above Prince Edward (who's that again?). As the only American on the list of UK royals, she's struggling to make a name for herself in the States. And it's not just her countrymen who are turning against her – 25% of Americans actively dislike her, and 17% have an even worse opinion of her since she and Prince Harry moved to Montecito in 2020.

As the only American on a list of the United Kingdom's Royal family, Meghan (pictured with Harry in May 2025) ranked below King Charles and above Prince Edward (whoever the heck that is).

WHY CAN'T MEGHAN JUST BE NORMAL?

According to a source close to Meghan, the Duchess is trying to reinvent herself as "exceedingly normal" – but it's just not working. When she couldn't pull off the princess thing, she reverted back to her old LA actress self, and that's clearly not resonating with anyone.

"It's glaringly obvious she doesn't get it," our source spills. "People don't really change, and all along she just wanted to be an influencer and TV star." Ouch! It seems Meghan's hopes of becoming Miss USA were just a pipe dream – maybe even a Senate run is out of the question now.

Hottie ex-Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel flaunted her lumpy dump truck (crack and all) in a skimpy G-string bikini at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show on Saturday.

IS MEGHAN FEELING THE PAIN?

We're told that these plummeting polls and failing ventures have been a devastating blow to the once-ambitious Duchess. Who would have thought that moneyed Montecitans would be whispering behind her back? "These people must feel like they've reached rock bottom," our source says.

But it's not just Americans who are turning against Meghan – in the UK, she's the least popular person in the monarchy, even below Prince Andrew (and we all know what he's got going on). It seems that both sides of the pond have had enough of the Duchess's antics.

Intolerant lesbian (singer and actress) Renee Rapp, 25, told Cosmopolitan on Monday that, ‘Straight people don’t exist to me.’

MICHELLE OBAMA'S WORD SALAD

Meanwhile, Michelle Obama has been stirring up controversy with her latest podcast episode. The former First Lady was trying to explain women's reproductive health, but ended up serving up a plate of word salad: "Women's reproductive health is about our life... it's about this whole complicated reproductive system that the least of what it does is produce life." Um, what?

BETHENNY FRANKEL'S BIKINI BODY

America’s favorite top-heavy obsession has distilled her essence into an $8 bar of soap so that ‘dirty little boys’ - Sydney’s words - can rub drops of her bathwater all over their filthy bits.

But let's get back to some real news – Bethenny Frankel has been spotted rocking a skimpy G-string bikini at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit show. And Lauren Sanchez was there to fawn all over her (awkward). We're not sure what's more cringeworthy, but someone please take Michelle Obama's podcast mic away and let Bethenny have her moment in the sun.

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET AND KYLIE JENNER'S LOVE AFFAIR

And finally, Kylie Jenner is head over heels for Timothee Chalamet – so much so that she's going full Knicks fan. The reality star posted a picture of her suitcase packed with blue and orange gear, including some rather risqué lingerie. Guess someone's been watching too many Sex and the City episodes...
