Support for the British monarchy since the late Queen Elizabeth’s death has declined by a quarter, according to a new poll, in what could be seen as a major blow for King Charles. The late Queen died on September 8, 2022, leaving a nation in mourning after an incredible 70 years on the throne.
King Charles, who was the longest-serving Prince of Wales in history, succeeded to the throne upon her passing. However, according to a new survey from Slingo, support for the monarchy has declined during the last three years, with 25.42% of participants expressing reduced support for the Royal Family today.
In contrast, 1 in 5 of those (21%) asked said they were more in favour of the Firm since the late Queen’s passing.
The poll was conducted in March 2025 by Censuswide on behalf of Slingo and included 1,000 people over the age of 16.
Elsewhere, the Princess of Wales emerged as the most popular member of the Royal Family with 17% favourability, with her husband, Prince William, coming second with 15%.
King Charles ranked third with 13%, while Princess Anne and Prince Harry completed the top 5 with 11% and 9% favourability, respectively.
Meghan Markle ranked sixth with 3%, just above Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward, who scored 3% and 2% respectively.
Queen Camilla emerged as the list favourite royal, with 2% favourability.
Prince Andrew was not listed in the poll.
It comes after the King celebrated his official birthday over the weekend with a major Trooping the Colour ceremony in London, full of military pomp and pageantry.
The royals celebrated Charles’s birthday parade along with thousands of Brits who lined up the streets in the capital.
