Who is officially the most popular member of the royal family?

In the past two years, Mark and Prince Harry have been in the headlines. There has even been much talk that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might even be more popular than other members of the royal family. Some have gone far enough to say that they could be better suited to the throne.

It turns out that none of this is very true. Meghan Markle does not even figure in the top five among the officially most popular members of the royal family.

It's probably more surprising to Americans because she lives this dream. On the other side of the pond, British tabloids and paparazzi painted a very different picture of the duchess. Sometimes they went far enough to try to destroy his reputation.

According to Now To Love, the 2019 Opinium Monarchy Tracker surveyed 2,003 British adults and the results could shock you. Who is officially the most popular member of the royal family?

Who is the most popular duchess?

As for the royal family, the four main women are Queen Elizabeth, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall (wife of Prince Charles), the Duchess Catherine (Kate Middleton) and the Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle).

The queen is ahead of all women with a 70% approval rate. This can be expected from the longest reigning monarch in British history. Not only did she have a high rate of approval, but her reign had the greatest changes of all the previous monarchs.

Kate Middleton came in second with 62%. His score is the highest of the wives of the three princes. Her husband, Prince William, has long been a favorite of the people. Some suggest that the queen should hand him the throne, rather than his own son.

Meghan Markle scored 39%. It was not the lowest, but it's a shock for many people. The lowest approval rate (24%) went to Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Which prince is the favorite of the people?

There are three main men, who have been surveyed by Opinium. Prince Charles who is first on the throne, after Queen Elizabeth, arrived last. It only had a 40% approval rate. There are many reasons why so many people do not like it, but this is largely due to his treatment of the late Princess Diana. She was after all the princess of the people.

Prince William, on the other hand, had the highest popularity rating. With 73% of respondents approving his role.

His brother came in second at age 70, although when asked if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had an important job to do, they got 74. And despite Markle's low score and public criticism, 64 to keep the pregnancy, birth and baby Archie out of the news.

Why he is officially the most popular member of the royal family

Although many Americans would have voted very differently, the British people seem to respect most Prince William and his wife. It makes sense if you think from their point of view.

First, he will inherit the throne at some point. His brother, Prince Harry, is not likely to do so because he is behind William's children.

Secondly, the British consider Kate Middleton as more worthy of her title. She is not only English but she also grew up in the same circle as the royal family. People and the media look at the two women in a totally different light.

Of course, Prince William and Kate Middleton have a higher popularity rank, after all, people want to see them take over from Queen Elizabeth.
