On Saturday, King Charles III will be officially crowned as Britain’s monarch — formally succeeding his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
A new YouGov poll conducted in the weeks prior to the king’s coronation finds that 62% of Americans say they do not care about the event “very much” (29%) or “at all” (33%). That apathy does not indicate a personal dislike of King Charles III, though. …
Americans have a more favorable than unfavorable view of King Charles III (+6), and hold even more positive views of the king’s heir, Prince William, Prince of Wales (+33), and William’s wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales (+34).
