Prince William Now Most Popular Royal: Poll

Recent YouGov polls show Prince William as the most popular British royal, with a 74% approval rating, followed by Kate Middleton at 71% and Princess Anne at 70%. Analysts credit William's increased popularity to his heightened public role and resilience during Kate's recent illness. King Charles and Queen Camilla receive mixed reviews, and public approval of the monarchy as an institution remains at 59–62%, with most Britons believing the royal family benefits the country and offers good value for money. Prince Andrew is the least popular royal, facing 87% disapproval, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's favorability continues to decline, especially among older Britons. Support for the monarchy is notably weaker among younger generations. Overall, the royal family's standing remains stable, but generational divides are deepening.
