The majority of those interested in the coronation and marching band are millennial women aged 27 to 42 and women over the age of 77.
“This research actually refutes the perception of some that Australians are not interested,” said Campbell White, YouGov’s opinion leader. The Australian.
“Actually, while it doesn’t set things on fire, a majority of us have at least some interest, and it’s not limited to older Australians.”

The king reportedly asked ‘But will I be welcome?’ when discussing the possibility of taking a trip Down Under with Australian diplomats.
