In a startling revelation that's sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace corridors, our exclusive weekly poll shows a dramatic shift in public sentiment towards the Royal Family.
The Youthquake Effect
The most striking findings emerge from the under-30 demographic, where support for the monarchy has plummeted to just 42% - a historic low that suggests storm clouds gathering over the House of Windsor's future.
Key Findings:
- Only 58% of all Britons now support keeping the monarchy
- 42% of under-30s prefer an elected head of state
- 67% believe the Royal Family should pay full taxes
- 53% support reducing the number of working royals
The Cost of Living Crisis Bites
With household budgets stretched to breaking point, public tolerance for royal expenditure appears to be wearing thin. Our poll reveals that 61% of respondents consider the monarchy 'too expensive' during these economically challenging times.
Palace Insiders React
While official sources maintain the dignified silence expected of the Royal Household, well-placed insiders confess to growing concern about these shifting attitudes. "The younger generation simply don't feel the same connection," revealed one senior aide, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Road Ahead
As King Charles III prepares to mark his first year on the throne, these poll results present both warning and opportunity. The monarchy's survival may depend on its ability to adapt to 21st century expectations while maintaining the mystique that has sustained it for centuries.
