British monarchy popularity soars, poll shows

July 29, 2013

According to The Telegraph:

While the Queen is the most admired member of the Royal family overall, among those aged between 18 and 24, the Duchess of Cambridge emerges as the single most popular figure.

Prince Harry, emerges from the poll as Britain’s third-favourite member of the Royal family, suggesting that his service in Afghanistan as an Apache attack helicopter gunner has endeared him to the public.

The Royal family received similar public support in the Eighties — but in the following decade saw its popularity fall after a series of separations, including the divorce of the Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales.
