There’s No Surprise That ‘Meghan Markle’ Is The Most Searched Person In The U.K. According To Google


With the royal wedding this year between Prince Harry and the American, Meghan Markle, there is no surprise that the term “Meghan Markle” tops the list for Google’s people searches in the U.K.

Google has released details of the most googled terms in the U.K. and Meghan Markle tops the list for the most searched person in 2018.

It is also the second time that Meghan Markle’s name has headed to the top of Google’s “top trending people” list, according to the Daily Mail. For those who are wondering, second place was filled by Celebrity Big Brother contestant Roxanne Pallett. Demi Lovato came in at No. 3 on the list of most searched people in the U.K. In addition, when Ant McPartlin pulled out of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, it seemed the U.K. was obsessed with finding out what happened to this celebrity. For the record, the TV host took several months off “following a battle with alcohol and painkiller addiction,” according to the Daily Mail.

While Meghan Markle may be the most searched term overall, the Duchess of Sussex also managed to come in second on the list of most searched queries in 2018. In addition, “royal wedding” was “the third most looked up issue this year.”

While Meghan Markle may be the most popular person to be googled in the U.K. this year, according to Google’s queries list, it was actually the world cup that really got people in the U.K. firing up their search engines.
