Awaiting Queen Kate! Exclusive MailOnline survey finds 70 per cent of people think Princess of Wales will make perfect consort to King William
A survey by MailOnline has found that around 70 per cent of people are happy that Kate Middleton will one day be Queen Consort to King William.
The Deltapoll survey found that the majority of respondents believe both the Prince and Princess of Wales should remain firmly in the line of succession, with three-quarters of respondents believing Prince William should take the throne if his father dies.
However, some other members of the royal family fared less well in the public eye.
About 77 percent of those polled said they would fire Prince Andrew, who was relieved of his royal duties in January 2022 with the late queen’s consent, following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
The Delta Poll survey for MailOnline found that the Princess of Wales is among the most popular members of the royal family, with 70 percent of respondents saying they would not want to remove her from the line of succession to become Queen Consort.
Some 61 percent of those polled suggested that the Duke of Sussex should also be removed from the line of succession, while 57 percent said Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Prince Andrew’s daughters, should also be removed from the list.
On behalf of MailOnline, Deltapoll interviewed 2,009 British adults online between September 1 and 4, 2023.
Kate Middeton, who married Prince William in 2011, has since dedicated her working life to the royal family, taking on public engagements and championing causes close to her heart, including mental health and family-oriented charities.
Since she burst into the royal spotlight in the early 1990s, Kate has become one of the world’s most photographed women. She transformed from the girl next door, who walked around St. Andrews University and partied with Prince William, to an elegant future queen.
