Prince Charles has never been a popular figure in the modern monarchy
First came the Princess Diana's scandal and then came his marriage to that horse had Camilla parker-bowles
Unfortunately, Prince Charles has never ever been a winner
He is to the royal family what Bruce Jenner is to the US, both are?
Undeniably scandalous and in the end no one really cares about them or the random
scandals a new poll was recently released that showed a
massive decline in public support in the UK for Prince Charles only
21 percent of people polled named him among their top three favorite members of the royal family
It's no surprise really?
especially in Chile if you take into account how well his son Prince William and
Daughter-in-law Kate Middleton have been doing in establishing a modern monarchy
Charles of course
Went on a decade-long PR spending spree to clean his image up and make him a squeaky-clean
man of the people but unfortunately
His ten years of trying to be a presentable figure in the modern monarchy failed more miserably than a Russian
heatwave in
2001 Charles ratings were
38% so that's a 17% drop in a decade without
scandals and/or terrible public appearances
Charles was however
Struck with another blow against his rep during the recent polling when his wife
Camilla was named as the favorite royal by only 2% of the polled public
That's 98 percent people who?
Disliked her if we were you Camilla. We already have left for France
They're much more accepting over there on the other side of the family Prince
Andrew's popularity imploded from 10% to a measly
2% in the wake of the scandal over his friendship with
pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a
Multi-billionaire who was convicted of solicitation of a minor and sentenced to 18 months in prison
Prince Edward received
the lowest scoring of all of the Royals and dropped from 4% in
2001 to a pointless 1% in the recent poll Prince William on the other hand ranked as
One of the most popular Royals ever with a staggering
62 percent favorability while his wife came in at 23 percent
favorability the head honcho the Queen of England
received
48% while his brother Prince Harry received
36% in the nationwide poll Prince William is also the highest ranked royal in the
history of the
1984 bourne poll if they ever plan to change the laws of succession now would be the perfect time
It shows more a director Roger Mortimer
professor of public opinion and political analysis at King's College, London
explained the results of William's popularity
A lot of people would like the idea of William succeeding straightaway. He is young and good-looking
I think young people can see something of themselves in William and
Kate they can see the monarchy looking more modern than it did beforehand
the financial gains of the Royals have also been a long disputed issue in the UK and
according to this poll
52 percent more than half the people polled agree that the royal family should not receive as much money as it does
In relation to the 31 million pounds the Queen received this year for her official duties
6 in 10 people in the UK believe the monarchy will still exist in
50 years while 42 percent believe the monarchy will survive for another century
professor Moore Timor concluded after a rocky period in the 90s
Public support for the monarchy and the Queen now looks as strong as it has been for many years
most of the public now expect the monarchy to survive
Well into the future and that is probably the best guarantee that it will do so polar ranking
