King Charles asked to change his approach as survey shows low numbers
King Charles has come under increasing pressure to rethink his approach as his popularity hits a four-year low. A new poll shows support has fallen to the lowest level since he came to the throne, increasing pressure to engage more effectively with the younger generation.
A YouGov The survey shows that positive sentiment towards the king has dropped to 58 percent. Meanwhile, negative views have increased three points to 34 percent, equal to the highest level recorded during his reign.
talking to yahoo lifestyleRoyal commentator Sharon Williams pointed out that the change may have little to do with Charles personally. “She and the rest of the couple’s royals are working as hard as ever, and between the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Anne and the Prince and Princess of Wales, the calendar is packed with engagements,” he said.
The expert added, “He is a career diplomat, and as Head of the Commonwealth, despite the grumblings, the current tour of the Caribbean is going well so far – plus his health and energy levels look good too.”
As to why Charles’s popularity declined, Williams said it may be a case of the public being “tired of the news cycle rather than tired of the king”. After all, given the steady stream of headlines since YouGov’s last survey earlier this year, commentators believe this story could shape the statistics.
Despite this, he suggested that Buckingham Palace needed to do more to engage with the public. The royal analyst argued, “This is a continuing comms narrative to build understanding of the king’s role and what he does for the United Kingdom. There is an opportunity to target younger generations to come, but it won’t be long before Prince George joins them.”
