Meghan Markle porn searches have royal watchers all hot and bothered
For many, a royal wedding brings thoughts of white gowns and elaborate fascinators. But for others, apparently, their thoughts turn straight to porn.
Pornhub reports that there was a big spike in searches for Meghan Markle after it was announced on Monday that she was engaged to Prince Harry. There was a whopping 2,208 percent increase in people looking for the American actress on their site.
The massive porn platform says in a blog post that royal searches are usually related to fictional characters like Princess Peach and Princess Leia. But move over, Star Wars. There's a new queen in town.

Searchers aren't going to find anything hardcore featuring the actress, but searching for her will lead you to plenty of videos of other girls named Meghan doing salacious things. Steamy scenes from Markle's time on USA Network's Suits also pop up.
It's, of course, not unusual to see search spikes related to current events -- and this rise compares to a 1,430 percent uptick after it was announced the pair was dating in November of last year.
Not surprisingly searches for Markle-related porn were most common in the U.S. and UK, though Spain, Germany, and Belgium rounded out the top five. And men were 51 percent more likely to search for her than women.
Welp, now we just have to wait to see what happens when the actual Royal Wedding takes place in May 2018.
