Despite stepping back from royal duties following her cancer diagnosis and preventative chemotherapy, Kate Middleton has retained the crown as the most-loved royal, dealing another blow to Meghan Markle.
The Princess of Wales, currently out of the public eye as she battles cancer, has been named the most popular royal, surpassing even her husband, Prince William.
According to a recent YouGov poll, 76% of Britons have a positive view of the future Queen, marking a six-percentage-point increase since the start of the year, when she delivered a video message announcing her chemotherapy treatment.
Kate’s enduring popularity underscores the admiration and support she commands from the public, even during challenging times. Despite her absence from royal engagements, her unwavering dedication to her family and her resilience in the face of adversity have resonated with people across the UK.
In contrast, Prince Andrew and Meghan Markle have been ranked as the UK’s least favorite royals in the same poll. The Duke of York, embroiled in controversy surrounding his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and his disastrous Newsnight interview, was viewed negatively by 86% of respondents.
