The Princess of Wales was once again crowned the most popular member of the Royal Family, but there was another member of the Firm slowly climbing up the favourability ladder, a new poll has revealed.

Princess Kate continued to be the most admired royal among Britons this month, as 74 percent said they hold a positive view of her, with her husband Prince William coming a close second at 73 percent, according to the latest poll by YouGov.

King Charles came fourth, with a favourability score of 64 percent, surpassed by his older sister, Princess Anne, who snatched a 70 percent.

Overall, Charles’s popularity has remained consistent since the announcement regarding his health back in February.

But it was the tracker’s latest addition that held quite a significance as Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, was included in YouGov’s favourability tracker for the first time.

According to the results, just over half of Britons (54 percent) have a favourable view of Sophie, who came fifth below King Charles – meaning she is surprisingly vying for the top spot despite only being included in the list for the first time.

The Duchess of Edinburgh recently became the first royal family member to visit Ukraine since Russia’s invasion and has become a more active royal since King Charles’ Coronation last year and his subsequent cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

The survey also included sisters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for the first time.

The children of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are both viewed favourably by 37 percent of people, while a quarter (24-25 percent) hold a negative view of them.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain the least popular royal couple.

Of the two, Meghan Markle is viewed slightly less favourably than her husband, with 22 percent holding a positive view of her compared to 29 percent for Harry.

But the majority of the public view both royals unfavourably (65 percent for Meghan and 61 percent for Harry).

Prince Andrew continues to be the least-liked royal, with only six percent holding a positive opinion of him, while nearly nine in 10 (86 percent) view him negatively.
