Around two thirds of Britons still support the monarchy - but exclusive Sky News/Ipsos polling shows varying opinions between age groups and across different communities
Coronation latest: 'New threat' to weekend's events not seen at Queen's funeral; final rehearsal for King
"There's obviously nothing like the level of enthusiasm or optimism for Charles III as there was Elizabeth II at the start of her reign. That is significant. But nevertheless, he seems to be doing okay.The monarchy has been through a turbulent period of change in recent years following a string of controversies and public fallouts, the Queen's death, and the first change in monarch in 70 years.
However, the latest polls do indicate a notable decline on one key measure - with net support for the monarchy falling to +40%. More than two thirds of Baby Boomers have a more favourable view of the King and almost half of Baby Boomers have a positive view of the Queen Consort, even though she only had a net favourability rating of 8% among the public overall.
"Still broadly younger people are more monarchist than republican, but the gap is much closer amongst young people than it is amongst older people. And you can see that across a whole range of the measures that we ask."
