As Charles III nears the completion of his fourth year on the throne, the latest figures from YouGov’s royal family trackers reveal that opinion towards the monarchy and senior royals remains stable and largely positive.
Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales continue to be the most positively viewed royals, with around three quarters of Britons (74-76%) seeing the Waleses in a favourable light, figures largely unchanged over the last few years. Positivity is similarly high and unmoved towards Princess Anne, with 70% of the public having a good opinion of the Princess Royal.
The King also remains largely popular, with more than six in ten Britons (62%) having a positive opinion of Charles III, double the 31% who see him unfavourably. Again, this is in line with recent waves of our tracker, with consistently 59-63% of Britons having held a favourable view of the King over the last two years.
The public also tend to be fond of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, with at least half of Britons (51-53%) having positive opinions of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie (compared to only 18% and 14% respectively holding negative views).
Queen Camilla is more divisive, with the public split between the 43% with a positive view of the Queen consort and the 44% with a negative view of her.
