Yeah, they sure could be better!
Any of the King's grandchildren?!? - That's an odd option.
And how about Edward's family? His wife and daughter, both of whom appears otherwise to be well liked. (Yes, I left out his son.)
Everything considering H&M get a pretty good ranking.
I have a feeling that many of those who answered just came up with the first name they could think of, so this might perhaps better be renamed to who is the most well known or well liked within the BRF.
I counted and King Charles and Prince William have: Buckingham Palace (being fixed up) Clarence House; a large flat in Kensington Palace; Windsor Castle; Adelaide Cottage; Sandringham House; Anmer Hall; Highgrove House; a place on the Scilly Isles; a place in Wales; Holyroodhouse Palace; Balmoral Castle; Birkhall; and, maybe, the Castle of Mey which may in fact be a white elephant. So, they have thirteen or fourteen homes and I hope that they pare things down after the coronation. I expect the monarchy to be expensive but not this bad. This cost brings anti-monarchy critics.
But they don’t own most of those properties, they simply have access to them. Even if there were no monarch, the KP, BP, Windsor and properties associated with The Crown would still be subsidisedI counted and King Charles and Prince William have: Buckingham Palace (being fixed up) Clarence House; a large flat in Kensington Palace; Windsor Castle; Adelaide Cottage; Sandringham House; Anmer Hall; Highgrove House; a place on the Scilly Isles; a place in Wales; Holyroodhouse Palace; Balmoral Castle; Birkhall; and, maybe, the Castle of Mey which may in fact be a white elephant.

Well, only 56 % in favour of a monarchy... Figures like this only days before a coronation are more than threatening! I never thought I would ever say this about this particular monarchy, which I adored - especially the late Queen -since my childhood, but if the mood among the british public isn´t vigurously changing, they are done in less than 10 or 15 years.
Perhaps it is the way of the people to say: enough is enough! Divorces, sex scandals, infidelity, an intriguing son splattering poison from abroad.... They've done a lot for the British public over the past 30 years! The result is an ever-growing republican movement and a controlled explosion only days before a coronation....

There isn't a republican movement. There's an organisation called Republic, but it has no more influence than organisations representing birdwatchers or trainspotters, and probably far fewer members.

I don't think 56% support for the monarchy means danger to it when in the said poll, the portion who answer with don't know/don't care is almost twice the abolitionists. (I'm not Brits, but it's similar to what's happening with mine; the monarchy will exist for a long while not because many supporting it, but because many feel nothing/apathetic about it).

What would likely be the next big Event after the coronation royal family wise
The 75th birhday of the King?
