New YouGov Poll Puts William and Kate Far Ahead as Meghan and Andrew Hit Record Lows

Fresh YouGov data also shows most Britons judge the palace response to the Andrew revelations as too slow.

Overview

  • YouGov’s January tracker places the Prince and Princess of Wales at 74–77% favourability, holding their lead since October.
  • Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, registers a 19% favourable rating, her lowest in the series, with 66% viewing her negatively.
  • Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor records just 3% favourability, the weakest result YouGov has logged for him, with 90% unfavorable.
  • A majority of respondents, 58%, say the Royal Family moved too slowly in handling the Andrew fallout, versus 21% who found the pace appropriate.
  • Support for the institution remains resilient, with nearly six in ten viewing the monarchy and Royal Family favourably and 64% saying the UK should keep a monarchy, as reports point to a possible Sussex UK visit under review by a Home Office‑approved security risk assessment.
