According to YouGov, a British international Internet-based market research and data analytics firm, Kate Middleton is described by fans as a “good role model, admirable, attractive, genuine, and beautiful.”
Based on thousands of responses from the British public between August 2019 and August 2020, she is liked by 65% of respondents. Her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, is liked by just 37% and described as “confident, admirable, attractive, beautiful and charming.”

While 9% of respondents have a negative opinion of Kate, 35% dislike Meghan “Kardashian” Markle, who has stepped back from royal duties.
Another poll published by Express in June 2019 confirmed that Kate is more popular than Meghan. In a survey asking the public about their favorite royal, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, scored 31%. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, scored just 6%. Not surprisingly, the Queen won with 40% of the vote.
