When the name “Meghan Markle” once again breaks the internet

2025 isn’t even halfway through, yet Meghan Markle – the Duchess of Sussex – has already become one of the year’s most talked-about figures. A viral image with the caption:

“Do you believe Meghan deserves the title of 2025’s most hated person?”
has sparked heated debates online. But does Meghan really deserve such a title, or is she simply a victim of the relentless modern media cycle?

From fairy-tale bride to global controversy

Back in 2018, Meghan Markle was celebrated worldwide for her fairy-tale marriage to Prince Harry – a love story that transcended race, class, and tradition. But only a few years later, that fairytale glow has faded, replaced by controversy and criticism.

Since the couple’s dramatic exit from the British royal family in 2020, Meghan and Harry have remained constant fixtures in global headlines:

• The explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, where Meghan revealed shocking details about royal life.

• Her strained relationship with senior royals, especially Prince William and Princess Kate.

• Media and business ventures like Netflix’s Harry & Meghan, which critics claim “commercialize royal drama.”

All of this turned Meghan from a symbol of courage into one of the most polarizing figures in modern celebrity culture.

Media victim or master of her own storm?

Media analysts argue that Meghan Markle embodies the paradox of fame in the digital age: one can be adored and despised at the same time.

Supporters see Meghan as a brave woman standing up for her truth and protecting her family. Critics, however, accuse her of manipulating public sympathy and using her royal connection for profit.

A British media expert commented:

“Meghan isn’t necessarily the villain here, but she knows exactly how to keep the world talking—whether the coverage is good or bad.”

A divided public, an unshakable spotlight

Despite constant criticism, Meghan’s influence remains undeniable. Every public appearance, quote, or social media post becomes instant news.
On platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #MeghanMarkle2025 regularly trends, with half of users defending her and the other half demanding she “disappear.” One thing’s certain: Meghan Markle continues to dominate the public conversation like few others can.

“The Most Hated Person” – a title or a warning?

Does Meghan Markle truly deserve to be called “the most hated person of 2025”? Perhaps the answer depends on how one views fame, power, and authenticity in today’s world.

In the whirlwind of public judgment and media frenzy, Meghan has become more than just a royal – she’s a mirror reflecting society’s obsession with scandal and image.

Love her or hate her, Meghan Markle remains the woman everyone keeps talking about.
