Prince William Tops Royal Popularity Poll, Surpassing Princess Kate

A new YouGov poll has revealed that Prince William is the most popular member of the British royal family, with 74% of Britons holding a positive opinion of him. The survey, which asked the public to rate their favourite royals, saw Princess Kate come in second with 71%, a drop from her top position six months ago.

Princess Anne secured third place with a 70% approval rating, while King Charles III received 59% support. The royal family as a whole garnered 62% approval, and the monarchy itself was viewed favourably by 58% of respondents.

At the bottom of the list, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle received only 28% and 20% positive ratings respectively. Prince Andrew ranked last with a mere 5% approval, reflecting ongoing public disapproval following scandals.

The poll also indicated that older generations tend to view the royals more favourably than younger ones, except in the case of Harry and Meghan. Overall, the results have remained largely stable since a similar survey in May.
