In the grand tournament of royal popularity, it's not surprising that Princess Kate and Prince William frequently top the polls. But when it comes to the third most-loved royal, the winner isn't who most fans would expect. With her recycled outfits and no-nonsense attitude, Princess Anne has been quietly showing up for duties to support the crown her entire life—and now she's even more popular than her brother, The King.
Princess Kate claimed the crown in a new YouGov poll of the U.K.'s favorite royals, snagging the top spot with a +59 percent net favorability rating (74 percent positive with just 15 percent of people viewing her in a negative light). Husband Prince William followed closely with his own 74 percent positive score (though carrying slightly higher negatives at 19 percent). But the Princess Royal's 70 percent positive bronze medal finish shows that Brits seem to prefer her over The King, who ranked fourth with a favorability rating of 59 percent.
