Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch of the United Kingdom, passed away on Thursday, September 8, 2022. The throne has been inherited by her eldest son, Prince Charles, who is now King.

According to a YouGov survey, a majority of British citizens wish for the continuation of the monarchy. However, this support is predominantly from older people, and the trend shows a decline.

"A majority of British citizens consistently support the continuation of the monarchy, but there has been a decline over the past decade, from 75% support in July 2012 to 62% now," YouGov explained in its survey report released in June 2022.

The YouGov survey found that in the older age group (50 years and above), the percentage of support for the monarchy reached approximately 70%, as shown in the graph.

Meanwhile, support for the monarchy is lower among younger age groups, particularly Generation Z (18-24 years old), with support only around 30%.

This YouGov survey was conducted among 1,669 British citizens in May 2022. The proportion of male and female respondents was fairly balanced, and the majority came from social classes A, B, and C.
