Poll reveals 86 per cent of the public are satisfied with the Queen

The Queen is adored by 86 percent of the British public, while her successor, Prince Charles, is adored by over two-thirds of the population.

According to an Ipsos survey, the Monarch remains the most popular member of the Royal Family, with satisfaction ratings higher than her Golden Jubilee (82%) and not much below her Diamond Jubilee (despite recent issues that have hounded the Windsors) (90 per cent). More over half of those polled stated their favorite thing about the Queen is that she is ‘traditional.’

While their recent tour of the Caribbean was dogged with claims of ‘tone-deaf colonialism’, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are the next most popular royals – with Kate beating William to second.

The Duchess is considered by the public to be ‘modern’ and ‘a good representative of Great Britain on the world stage’ while a third of respondents said her husband ‘gives them confidence in the future of Britain’.

The Queen was most popular during her Diamond Jubilee as 90 per cent of the public were satisfied

Princess Anne emerges as the fourth most likeable member of the family but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who will return to Britain for the Platinum Jubilee this week, fare less well after stepping back from royal life.

They represent the favourite member of the family for just 11 per cent and 6 per cent of the British public respectively.

Prince Charles, whose popularity ratings slumped to 42 per cent after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997, has apparently survived any damage from the ‘cash for honours’ scandal at The Prince’s Foundation charity with a 65 per cent satisfaction rate.

The survey of 1,000 Britons, aged between 16 and 75, earlier this month also found almost seven in ten want Britain to remain a monarchy and four-fifths think it will remain so in ten years.

Kelly Beaver, chief executive at Ipsos in the UK, said: ‘Considering the life she has committed to her country and her people for 70 years, it is no surprise that the Queen firmly remains the nation’s favourite Royal Family member, with her strongest characteristics associated with tradition and for being a positive symbol of Britain who can unite people.’
