MEGHAN Markle has been named the popular UK royal in the world – beating the likes of the Queen and Kate Middleton to clinch the top spot.
The former actress was crowned the top royal in a worldwide survey by OnBuy, with a popularity score of 14.5 per cent.
Hot on her heels was the Duchess of Cambridge, 38, who had a ranking of 14.4 per cent, and in third place was the Queen, 94, with a 14.3 per cent popularity score.
While Meghan has made fewer public appearances this year, due to coronavirus and relocating to California with Archie and Prince Harry, it seems her Zoom speeches and heartfelt essays have proved a hit with the public.
Meghan, 39, won over the public despite her and Prince Harry announcing they were stepping back as senior royals earlier this year.
In stark contrast Prince Harry’s popularity has plunged in the wake of ‘Megxit’.
Despite Prince Harry falling out of favour with the British public, he beat his brother to be crowned the fourth most popular UK royal in the OnBuy survey, with a ranking of 14.2 per cent.
