Prince William and Prince Harry are named by most Britons as the Royals they like the most, according to the latest Ipsos MORI Political Monitor. Three in five (62%) listed Prince William among their two or three favourite Royals – the same percentage as in November 2012, when this topic was last polled. Prince Harry’s popularity has increased the most, climbing from 36% in 2012 to 58% this month, just below that of his elder brother. The Queen also remains popular: half (47%) named her among their favourites, no change from the 48% in November 2012.
