Meghan Markle is celebrating her 42nd birthday today, and while the Duchess of Sussex certainly has much to be grateful for, these are likely very tense times in the SoCal home she shares with Prince Harry.<\/p>\n

The past few months have seen a surprising downturn in Harry and Meghan\u2019s popularity<\/a>, with some polls indicating that the couple is less well-liked than ever on both sides of the pond.<\/p>\n

The decline began with the publication of Harry\u2019s memoir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book became an instant bestseller, but received a mixed reaction from readers, some of whom felt that the Duke of Sussex came off as ungrateful and opportunistic.<\/p>\n
