King Charles III.: Popularity Despite the challenges of young British

recently carried out surveys show that King Charles III. Despite the challenges with which he and the British royal family are confronted, the subjects continue to meet with approval. Around 63 percent of the respondents have a fairly positive picture of him, as the opinion research of YouGov confirms. This number is just below the result of the previous survey in May, where the consent was a little higher. Nevertheless, 29 percent of the respondents state that they have a negative opinion about the monarch, which is a low increase compared to May 28 percent.

On September 8th, the death of Queen Elizabeth II marks the death, and Charles was appointed king. While the government of King Charles has to struggle with his own challenges, it is interesting to notice that younger people - especially between the ages of 18 and 24 - have significantly more critical views about the monarchs. Only 25 percent of this age group see Charles positively, in contrast to 53 percent, who give a negative assessment. This could be a concern for the palace, since the positive perception Among is an indication of how the monarchy could be perceived in the future.

approval for the next generation

In contrast, heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Princess Kate enjoy growing popularity. Prince William was able to increase his approval values to 75 percent, while Kate remains stable at 74 percent. Interestingly, these high approval values are also reflected in the perspective of the younger generation, which may indicate a stronger identification with the next generation of the royal family.

The year has so far not been easy for the Royal Family. Both Charles and Kate had to reduce public appearances due to health problems, including cancer. Kate was most recently seen in the Wimbledon tennis tournament in July, followed by a short appearance on the way to a service in Scotland, where she was photographed in a car. This reserved presence could have an impact on public perception.

also Charles’s sister, Princess Anne, was recently seen less with a horse after an incident, which affected her public Engagement. Survey figures show that 71 percent of the British population have a positive opinion of it, which is a small plus since May. The negative relationship with Princess Anne is also lower at 11 percent than with William and Kate.

In contrast to the positive and stable approval values of the other Royals, the younger son of Charles, Prince Harry, is also stagnating. Only 30 percent of those surveyed describe his person as positive, which should be due to his departure from the royal family and the associated controversy. However, Prince Andrew seems to affect the greatest lack of interest, who is only positively perceived by 5 percent due to his charges in connection with a sexual abuse scandal. This represents a new low in the perception of his person.

summarized by summary, YouGov interviewed a total of 2,021 adults in Great Britain to hire the members of the Royal Family between the 14th and 15th of August 2023. The results reflect both the difficulties of the current monarchy, as well as the changing public opinion about King Charles and the next generations that have to follow in the footsteps of the royal family.
