Demographic Breakdown of Markle’s Popularity
The former “Suits” actress garnered a 24% popularity rating with GenX, 18% with millennials, and 4% with baby boomers.
Royal Life and Future Endeavors
According to the YouGov survey, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and King Charles III are all more favored than the Sussexes. In 2020, Markle and Harry famously stepped back from their royal responsibilities and currently reside in Montecito, California, with their children.
The couple subsequently shared their experiences in a revealing 2021 interview with Oprah, their “Harry & Meghan” Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”
The couple attended the Time100 Summit at NYC’s Jazz at Lincoln Center, accompanied by security personnel and a four-vehicle motorcade.
Markle’s Engagements and Future Plans
Markle, wearing a tan blazer, coordinating trousers, a white top, and heels, spoke about her active year. This included launching her “With Love, Meghan” series on Netflix, her As Ever lifestyle brand, and her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast.
“You see it all come to life and try to give yourself the space and the grace to make mistakes, to know you’re not doing it right every day,” she expressed.
Commitment to Role Modeling
Markle emphasized her commitment to being a positive “role model” for her children and highlighted the significance of cultivating confidence in young men to empower women.
“So I try to model that behavior, but again, it starts with whatever’s going on internally,” she continued. “I am able to just tune out whatever that noise is, really not give it any credence.”
