‘Meghan Markle’ has been named 2017’s top UK Google search term

And we're not surprised...

From the editors of LOOK

Meghan Markle is undoubtedly the woman of 2017, and with her wedding to Prince Harry set for May of next year, we wouldn’t be surprised if she was named 2018’s top pick too.

Her influence is already proving as strong as the Kate Middleton effect, with her clothes selling out in minutes – we all remember when she crashed Canadian fashion brand’s website, Line The Label, after wearing their white bridal coat to her engagement photocall last month. And let’s not forget that ‘the Meghan Markle’ is now one of the most requested looks in plastic surgery, with women across the world investing a lot of money in getting her ‘perfectly straight’ signature nose.

It’s hardly surprising therefore that the 36-year-old former Suits actress and future royal ranked top of 2017’s list for UK Google search terms. And she even made it into the top five global trend searches for this year.
