Prince Harry is certainly becoming popular not only in the UK but globally. The royal member is still establishing his roots in the entertainment industry, following in the footsteps of his wife and actress, Meghan Markle. The world has witnessed his life, from his young years as he went through moments, both good and bad. But the fame that he has garnered since marrying Markle has been in a new light.

His personal life has been open for the public to see, from the party years to his journey of becoming a family man. Between these transitions, the 38-year-old seems to have caught the attention of people and made it to this popularity-related list.

Where Prince Harry stands on this popularity list of 2023

Even when away from his home country, Prince Harry seems to have found the code of popularity. According to MeetGlimpse, the Britisher ranks at number 55 on The 100 Most Searched People on Google in 2023. He was searched about 646,000 times in the last 30 days on Google search. Topping the list was footballer Lionel Messi, followed by singer Taylor Swift. He managed to beat big names like Ryan Reynolds, Snoop Dogg, Tom Hanks, etc.

This is an enormous achievement for the non-Hollywood member, considering how fierce the competition is. Then again, the list also boasts of people from different fields like Gordon Ramsay, Serena Williams, Putin, etc. However, the person that missed being on the list was Meghan Markle. The Suits actress has been in the entertainment industry for long, having worked in several shows. She was also the one who brought a shy Prince Harry out in the open and stayed by him as paparazzi flocked during ‘Megxit’.

Now the Sussexes have been a trending couple ever since their marriage, but after their move to the USA, things changed drastically.

What factors could have contributed to the search hike?

Prince Harry infamously wrote the ‘Spare’ book, which dropped bombshell information about his inner drama with members of the royal family. The book has already sold 1 million copies, becoming the fastest-selling self-help book. But the meaty content did not end there. After the Oprah interview, a domino effect took place and he and Meghan Markle secured several deals in the entertainment industry.

Their multi-million deal with Netflix and Spotify kept them as the hot topic for a long time. However, the couple has not been in the news for positive things lately as they lost their Spotify deal while their partnership with Netflix is also in trouble. Meanwhile, more searches do not indicate more favor from the public.
