Controversy has helped Meghan Markle as she surpasses Kate Middleton as more influential in UK culture, says study
According to a recent study conducted by GetInsta, Meghan Markle has emerged as a more influential figure in UK culture compared to her sister-in-law Kate Middleton. The research analyzed various factors such as global Google searches, TikTok views, Instagram hashtags, and articles to determine the level of influence of different British royals.
While Queen Elizabeth II topped the list as the most influential royal, with a staggering 7.9 million global Google searches per month, it was Meghan Markle who surpassed Kate Middleton in terms of influence. The study revealed that Meghan has garnered significant attention and interest, despite her controversial exit from royal life and subsequent move to California with her husband Prince Harry.
The research findings shed light on Meghan’s enduring popularity and impact, despite some of her recent projects not performing as expected. The Duchess and Prince Harry have faced criticism for their podcast and Netflix series, both of which failed to resonate with audiences. However, the study shows that Meghan’s influence extends beyond these setbacks.
One interesting aspect highlighted by the study is the potential return of Meghan to the hit TV show Suits, in which she gained fame for her portrayal of Rachel Zane. This news has generated excitement among fans and could further enhance Meghan’s influence in UK culture.
The study also showcased the influence of other members of the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II’s dominance was evident, with billions of views under her hashtag and millions of Instagram hashtags featuring her name. This highlights the enduring fascination with the late Queen and her significant impact on global culture. Prince Harry, despite stepping back from his royal duties, secured second place in the study. With billions of TikTok views and a significant number of articles written about him, Prince Harry continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
While Meghan Markle ranked third in the study, her position ahead of Kate Middleton indicates her growing influence. This finding suggests that Meghan’s unique background and experiences have resonated with people in the UK and beyond.
