The most popular public figure in the US isn't a politician or a foreign leader, it's actually a member of the Royal Family.
- Americans have been polled about which public figure they like the most.
- It has been revealed that a certain member of the Royal Family is the most popular figure - even when compared to Presidents across the world!
- In other royal news, Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna establishes a hilarious role in the family - and she takes after someone pretty special.
A new survey from Gallup has revealed that Prince William is the most popular public figure in America! That's right, not Princess Catherine or King Charles III, the Prince of Wales!
With a favourable rating of 59% Prince William was the most popular figure of the 15 public figures in the survey. This meant that the Prince was even ahead of Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy who had a favorability rating of 57%!
It was even revealed that the Prince was more popular than other royals, that included his own father, King Charles III. The King was only rated favourably by 46% of the people polled, making him the fourth most popular public figure. This is significantly lower than his son's popularity rating. 37% of the people polled also had an unfavourable opinion of the King. In comparison, Prince William only had 22% of people rating him unfavourably.
In the UK, according to YouGov, the late Queen is still the most popular member of the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth II has a 76% popularity rating, Prince William is second with a 67% rating, and King Charles was in fifth place with a 55% rating. Although they may not be as famous across the pond, Princess Anne is the third most popular royal with a 63% rating, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, had a 62% rating, making her the fourth most popular member of the family.
