WhoWhatWhy - Recent studies have shown that support for the monarchy veers wildly depending on one’s age group, with people 65 and older approving the most (70 percent) and the youngest, 18-34 demographic offering the most tepid support (39 percent). The average hovered just above 50 percent.

How does British monarchy compare with European royals?

Axios - Brits view their new monarch as "regal," "boring" and "nice," according to a survey of 2,086 adults from JL Partners, shared exclusively with Axios.

The most popular word chosen to describe Queen Consort Camilla is "supportive."
Monarch-in-waiting Prince William is seen as "nice" and "boring" — and his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, as "lovely," "beautiful" and "elegant."
