However, the poll also indicated a decrease in popularity for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The results of the survey come at a time when Kate Middleton found herself embroiled in a controversy over an edited picture of her and her three children on Mother's Day, which led to her issuing an apology. The incident raised questions and speculation about the Royal family, especially considering the unexpected public appearance made by the Princess.
It is worth noting that the survey was conducted prior to the photo editing incident. Furthermore, it has been reported that the Princess is not scheduled to participate in any public engagements for several weeks as she recovers from major abdominal surgery she underwent in January.
In the latest poll, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, closely trailed his wife, Kate Middleton, and secured the second position with a two-point increase in popularity from the previous year, now standing at 36 percent.
When examining the breakdown by gender, Kate Middleton was found to be more popular among women, with 44 percent naming her as their favorite royal, compared to 32 percent of men.
