The beloved monarch, who died in September 2022<\/a>, is still viewed positively by 81 per cent of Brits, which is higher than any of her living relatives.<\/p>\n In second place, Princess Diana has a 77 per cent approval rating, showing she remains incredibly popular with the British public nearly 29 years on from her tragic death.<\/p>\n Prince William secured the third spot, with 76 per cent, and was closely followed by Princess Catherine on 75 per cent.<\/p>\n The Waleses previously held the top spot in January’s YouGov rankings, although their positivity score remains largely unchanged, as reported by the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n Princess Anne, famously dubbed the hardest working royal, came in fifth with 70 per cent, while King Charles followed with 60 per cent.<\/p>\n At the other end of the scale, disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was named as Britain’s least favourite royal, with just three per cent of Brits holding a positive view of him.<\/p>\n The result is unsurprising given the former Duke of York’s catastrophic fall from grace this year.<\/p>\n The 66-year-old was plagued with controversy after new revelations emerged about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, leading to his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, the ex-prince remains under investigation over allegations he shared confidential information with the late sex offender.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the YouGov poll, Meghan Markle came second-to-last, with just 20 per cent of Brits saying they have a positive opinion of her.<\/p>\n Prince Harry was not far off with 30 per cent, placing him third from the bottom.<\/p>\n The figures are a new low for the Sussexes, and the lowest ever recorded for them by YouGov.<\/p>\n It comes as Meghan and Harry are currently on their highly-publicised tour of Australia.<\/p>\n On the final day of the four-day trip, the couple arrived in Sydney<\/a>, where they met with lifeguards at Bondi Beach and sailed around Sydney Harbour in an Invictus Australia event.<\/p>\n![\"Differences](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/d1d1d22e452749c4a92972e65e698db7.jpeg\")
