King Charles Reaches Tracker-High 68% Approval

The poll signals broad public backing for the monarchy while exposing clear partisan divides in views of the King.

Overview

  • YouGov’s July 21–22 royal family tracker found 68% of Britons say King Charles is doing a good job and 16% say he is doing badly.
  • Support for the monarchy remains a majority position with about 64% of respondents saying the UK should keep the institution and roughly half judging it good value for money.
  • Popularity within the family is uneven: the Prince and Princess of Wales lead at about 74–76% favourability, Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh hold steady support, Queen Camilla is split (43% positive, 44% negative), and Prince Andrew registers just 2% positive.
  • Prince Harry’s favourability rose to 33%, a six‑point gain since May 2025, and some outlets noted the change came after his reported July 10 Highgrove meeting with the King though the poll shows correlation not proven causation.
  • Party affiliation shapes views strongly: 90% of Conservative voters back the King while 35% of 2024 Reform UK voters say he is performing poorly, a gap that could sharpen political debate over royal support.
