Kate Middleton is no longer the most popular member of the British monarchy.

BarcelonaKate Middleton is no longer the favorite member of the British royal family, according to a report tracking public opinion on the crown. For the first time, the princess has been surpassed by her husband, Prince William, who achieved 74% positive ratings among those surveyed - Middleton follows with 71% and Princess Anne with 70%. The report, published by YouGov at the beginning of August, shows great differences in public perception of the different members of the clan.

The popularity of the Princess of Wales has been increasing since she married the prince in 2011. Her proximity to the public has often led to her being compared to Princess Diana and that has led to her being one of the most beloved members of the royal family. According to surveys, in February of this year she was the most popular and was followed by her husband. Now he is at the top of the list thanks to the support shown to Middleton during your cancer treatment. The public appreciated the prince's showing vulnerability during this time.

Prince William has always been a very beloved person by the public. It was thanks to the international popularity of his mother, Princess Diana, that he became something of an idol in the late 90s and early 2000s. When he began partying with Middleton during her studies at the Scottish University of St. Andrews, his popularity grew and was consolidated when the couple married. This last year, with Middleton's illness, the prince had to take on more responsibilities alone and this display of resilience and humanity was well received, which explains his good result in the poll of YouGov.

If the top two spots go to the Prince and Princess of Wales, the third place goes to Princess Anne, who has maintained her popularity intact in recent years. She has always been one of the busiest royal figures and the unofficial right-hand woman to her brother, King Charles III. Anna had to take on even more commitments last year, when she had to stand in for the King so he could recover from a cancer diagnosis. Charles III has had more modest results, with 59% of the public's support. Those who don't have as much support are Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who only managed to please 28% and 20%, respectively. Still, overall, the results are favorable for the British royals, with the majority of the public holding them in high regard: 59% of those surveyed believe the monarchy benefits Great Britain and 47% are proud.
