The Princess of Wales has been named the most popular member of the royal family, despite being out of the public eye due to her battle with cancer.

Kate has even left her husband Prince William behind, with 76% of Britons surveyed saying they had a positive view of the future queen.

The mother-of-three’s popularity has risen six points since the start of the year, during which she posted a video message to the nation announcing her chemotherapy treatment.

The Princess of Wales tops YouGov’s royal favorability rankings, while Prince Andrew and Meghan Markle have been named the UK’s least popular royals, according to polls.

Andrew and Meghan may no longer be called Their Royal Highnesses, but the two can still claim to be Britain’s least popular royals.

The Duke of York’s crash Newsnight interview is now the subject of not one but two separate TV series, with 86 per cent of those polled having a negative view of him.

Behind Andrew is the Duchess of Sussex, whose new wellness brand is also unlikely to appeal to 64% of Britons who admit to having a negative view of her.
