Royal rumours from the UK suggest that the popularity of its monarch may be changing. The latest poll data shows that some members of the royal family are doing much better in the public ** than others. And it seems that the results of the poll on a queen have made clear the attitudes of the people.
According to Newsweek's latest research study, Kate Middleton's popularity in the U.S. has reached an impressive 38%. For a royalty of commoner origin, this number is not bad. In comparison, her husband, Prince William, is slightly less popular, with a popularity of 32%. While both numbers are not bad on their own, Kate's overwhelming lead over William in popularity is remarkable.
These results have been inconceivable to royal commentator Daniela Elser. Writing for The Australian News, she said: "The people have had their say", referring to Kate's popularity compared to other members of the royal family.
But not only did William lag behind Kate in these polls, other members of the Windsor royal family also fared even worse. Prince Harry is in third place with 29% popularity. Although this number has dropped somewhat after a series of controversies in his television interviews, it still maintains a considerable level.
King Charles, despite now becoming a monarch, has only gained 17% popularity. It's heart-wrenching!It seems that the leading country did not win him more love and reverence from his American cousins from across the Atlantic.
There is also Queen Camilla, whose popularity is only a pitiful 2%. Before going any further, let's admit that Camila's reign is still in its early stages. Although she has been married to King Charles for more than 17 years, breaking the stigma of Charles and Diana's marriage as a "junior" clearly still haunts her like yesterday's gruel.
Even so, being only half as popular as Prince Harry shows that Camilla still has a long way to go in winning the hearts and minds of those who doubt and distrust, both inside and outside the UK. As Elser bluntly points out: "This is not really the current queen Camilla. ”
Heartache again!Elser continues to speculate that these latest data suggest that Americans may be "accepting" Kate as the "new queen." The Duchess of Cambridge continues to captivate royal observers across the globe with her grace, philanthropy, and ability to connect with people of all backgrounds. This proved to be a successful program to win over the public**.
So, does the unpopular remark that Queen Camilla is an indication that Britain and the United States are accepting a new queen?Are these figures evidence of the desire of the British to have a different monarch in power?Or are these numbers more reflective of the challenge that any member of the royal family in Camilla's current situation will face to win wide acceptance after entering the royal family under unique circumstances?
There are, of course, similarities to how another royal outsider was once seen to be viewed. When Diana Spencer married Charles in 1981, she also experienced a great deal of suspicion and distrust from the royal elite and much of the British public. They felt that the shy 19-year-old was not fully prepared for the responsibilities of Princess of Wales, lacked noble blood and was too young.
It will take time, some drama, and Diana's people-friendly charm offensive to turn people's perception of her from suspicion to admiration. By the 90s, she became the most popular member of the British royal family in the world and was honored as the "People's Princess". Therefore, before we hastily declare Camilla completely unpopular among the people she accepts, perhaps there should be some more objective observations.
As a man who has gone from ** to second wife, Camilla has faced an uphill struggle to win the public's complete forgiveness. However, over the past two decades, Camilla's patience and steady approach to royal life has aligned with the queen's duties and service patterns, increasing her approval ratings in the UK year after year.
Now in her seventies, criticism of her seems to have focused more on her age in the position than on her past mistakes. And, there are signs that international perception of her is gradually softening as familiarity replaces scandal headlines. Many people remember her solemn support for Charles after Diana's death, which changed people's perception of her from a marriage-destroying spoiler to a loyal partner.
Maybe it's just a matter of time, and a Kate-level event like a platinum celebration or coronation that will take for Camilla to earn her glamour and popularity on a global scale?Americans tend to be more tolerant than their close cousins across the Atlantic. For most of the world, her fault is decades ago.
But there is no doubt that Kate currently sits firmly on the throne of the "people's princess", with whom even Camilla and Charles cannot compete. She has just entered the ** period of royal affairs, and at the age of 40, she is at the peak of her royal rock stardom. Since her children are still young, we can expect that in the years to come, Kate will go to school with a smile on her face, make high-profile tours, and attend glamorous evenings to keep her in the public eye.
From accompanying the monarch to playing the lead role on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, Kate has seamlessly played the lead role in the modern British monarchy. Her graceful court manners and hard-working support of the cause cemented her status as the perfect queen if she wanted to.
It remains to be seen whether the United States and the wider world will actively "accept" the future Queen Kate as their preferred Windsor. But on the current trajectory, it is likely that she will be more globally appealing than everyone else before the throne passes to Prince George.
As for Queen Camilla, the jury may not be settled yet, but she's fighting a protracted battle – like her entire controversial journey to the throne. As she continues to perform her duties, and as she continues to work in a low-key consensus-building effort over the years, ** will gradually tilt towards her over time. As the most famous queen in history has demonstrated, it only takes one dramatic move to go from a royal pariah to a beloved princess. Of course, stranger things have happened to the Windsor family.
Now, in the courtroom of the American public ** across the ocean, everyone cheers on Queen Catherine's smiling reign. With patience, pragmatism and time steadily moving on, Camila's day may also come. But the poll numbers don't lie – across the ocean, the future of Britain's most popular queen looks bright. Long live the Queen of Grace and Reign Britannia!
