'The people have spoken': Meghan Markle and Prince Harry top poll of most annoying celebs of 2022
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly been crowned the most annoying celebrities of 2022, just weeks after the release of their explosive Netflix docu-series, 'Harry & Meghan'.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stunned the world after stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, snagged the top two spots on Ranker's recently released article titled ‘Celebrities You’re Sick of in 2022'. The article stated that the 41-year-old former ‘Suits’ star received a total of 24,201 votes out of the more than 416,000 votes cast while her husband garnered 21,492 votes.

The royal couple obtained more than 5% of the approximately 500,000 votes cast. The results, which were obtained from all show the world, reflected that the public has grown fed up with the couple. Their debatable rankings are noticeably more apparent than where they were ranked in 2021, when Meghan was listed as low as 20th and her husband was came 23rd.
Since relocating to the US, Meghan and Harry have maintained their notoriety through a seemingly endless number of attacks on the royal family. The first shots were fired with the couple’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where Meghan claimed her sister-in-law, Catherine, The Princess of Wales, left her in tears after a clash about the bridesmaids' dressed ahead of her wedding. The mother-of-two also reportedly stated that she was silenced by "The Firm" when she tried to raise concerns, which led to her and Harry stepping down and moving to the US.
As for the rest of the list, it appeared that the hundreds of thousands of Ranker voters would also love to hear less from celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Kanye West, Amber Heard, Kim Kardashian, James Corden and Madonna. Winfrey, whose daytime show has gone off air for more than a decade, garnered the No 3 spot on the poll, while late-night talk-show host James Corden, who made headlines for his restaurant drama, earned the fifth spot.
'Aquaman' star Heard's largely failed defamation battle against ex-husband Johnny Depp saw her steal the fourth spot. The SKIMS owner, long a stalwart on such lists, ranked 10th and was joined by West after he was largely canceled in 2022 for his antisemitic diatride, along with Chrissy Teigen, Ellen DeGeneres and Hilaria Baldwin, who were also on the Top-10. Other prominent names include Lady Gaga, Will Smith, Dwayne Johnson, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Billie Eilish.
