Revealed: The most popular members of the royal family
The Princess of Wales was the most popular with 38 percent, followed by heir to the throne William with 34 percent.
It comes during a number of public outings by the former Duchess of Cambridge, including a recent visit to Wales.
The public was also asked to choose from a list which two or three members of the royal family they liked best.
About 18 percent said they don’t have a favorite when it comes to the royal family.
Among the least popular were Prince Andrew (four percent) and his children Princess Beatrice and Eugenie (both seven percent).
Prince Harry, whose explosive memoir Spare revealed about “the Firm,” was sixth with 14 percent.
The survey of 4,000 people also suggested that 49 percent of the British public think Charles is doing well as a monarch.
Another 32 percent said they did neither well nor badly, while nine percent said they did poorly.
A separate poll by Ipsos suggested 57 percent were “satisfied” with the way the King was performing, down eight percentage points since May 2022.
His son, Prince William, received more votes in confidence from the public, with 62 per cent responding as satisfied with his role as Prince of Wales.
He was in Wales this week, where he got aasked if he has spoken to his brother Prince Harry while visiting a rugby club.
