Royal Family 'less popular' in Scotland than rest of UK, new poll finds

A top polling expert has found "little doubt" that the monarchy is not as strongly supported in Scotland compared to the rest of the UK.

Professor John Curtice has pointed to recent surveys on the issue, that found that enthusiasm for the Royal Family was 10 per cent lower in Scotland than the rest of the country. As reported by the Daily Record, two polls were carried out in the last year by Focaldata and Opinium.

These polls asked people if the monarchy should continue following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, or if a republic should be instated. Both surveys revealed that 45 per cent of Scottish voters were in favour of continuing the monarchy.
