Meghan Markle earned a negative reputation shortly after she married Prince Harry. The American actress was beginning to build a profile in the industry when she relocated to the UK, but her transition to royal life proved difficult. The couple cited a lack of institutional support and concerns over media intrusion and racial bias before stepping back from senior royal duties in 2020 and eventually settling in California with their family.
Back in her home country, Markle has continued to attract public scrutiny. Most recently, she has faced accusations of disruptive behaviour and has been linked to the end of the Sussexes' partnership with Netflix.
