King Charles and Prince William wear red military uniform, Prince Louis and Prince George wear navy suits with red ties, while Princess Kate and Prince Charlotte wear turquoise dresses on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

The scandal surrounding Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's association with Jeffrey Epstein—a disgraced financier and convicted sex offender—has greatly impacted the Royal Family. However, a new poll suggests that members of the general public still allegedly support the royals, with one important caveat.Prince William and Princess Kate are preparing to take over from King Charles and Queen Camilla in the future, with Prince George's reign still decades away. Per the Express, "Despite the latest scandal involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, support for the Royal Family seems to remain stable—though many have one major demand."Sharing the results of an exclusive poll, the i Paper reported, "Overall backing for the monarchy remains broadly stable at 49 percent of voters, but younger people are significantly less likely to back the institution—suggesting the headline figure masks longer-term generational pressure."
