Meghan Markle has seen a significant drop in her popularity
Meghan Markle has seen a huge drop in her popularity in the US, according to fresh polling data.
Findings by YouGov put the Duchess of Sussex's net approval rating has fallen from 17 per cent in the second quarter of the year to 10 per cent in the third.
It found that 32 per cent of Americans surveyed had a positive opinion of Meghan, while 22 per cent disliked her.
Her approval ratings drop is in contrast to prince Harry who saw his own numbers remain unmoved.
The latest findings from YouGov give the Duke a rating of 24 per cent.
YouGov surveyed a representative sample of about 1,200 US adults between July, August, and September for their views.
The long time period at which the data was collected means that it is unlikely any individual event is responsible for the findings.
Instead, the results track a larger trend showing Meghan's decreasing approval.
