Public sentiment toward celebrities can shift rapidly, but in 2025, Meghan Markle the Duchess of Sussex has emerged as the most disliked celebrity, according to a crowd-sourced ranking on Ranker, a platform where users vote in real time to rank public figures. Markle’s position at the top of the list reflects sustained negative sentiment that has built over several years, rather than a single controversy or event.

Ranker’s live ranking shows Markle moving up steadily over time. Since 2023, she has consistently appeared in the top 10 most disliked celebrities, rising from around third or fourth place to second and finally capturing first place in late 2025. The platform’s methodology relies on ongoing public voting, meaning her continued visibility, in media, interviews and public projects has kept her name in front of audiences who have repeatedly cast negative votes.

Interestingly, Markle’s husband, Prince Harry, also ranks high on the list, placing fifth among the most disliked celebrities. This suggests that public dissatisfaction often extends beyond Markle herself and encompasses the Sussexes as a unit in the eyes of many online voters.

Other names appearing near the top of Ranker’s 2025 list include a mix of well-known entertainers and media personalities such as Jada Pinkett Smith, Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, illustrating that broad public dislike isn’t limited to one type of public figure.
