I have a hunch that William and Catherine will be moving back and forth in the top spot in the coming months and years.

Well, they may, though as celebrities, even royals, move into their fifties, it's usually a newer generation/their growing children who step into the limelight.

One thing is certain, it won't be Charles, or Camilla, who inhabit those two top spots. Ever since Diana died their numbers in surveys like this one have been diabolical, considering their status.

The Princess of Wales has overtaken Prince William in a new poll to be crowned Britain's favourite royal, the Independent can reveal.

Kate, 42, who is currently undergoing treatment for an unspecified form of cancer, was seen as "favourable" by 62 percent of respondents to the Savanta research, which is exclusive to this publication.

Royal website: Following His Majesty The King's Accession in September 2022, a major review of more than 1,000 Royal Patronages and charity Presidencies has been undertaken. To mark the first anniversary of Their Majesties' Coronation, the conclusions will be shared with relevant organisations in the coming week.

I am very curious to see which of the late QEII'S and Prince Phillip's former patronages will be distributed amo the members of the BRF.

Will the late Queen's cousins be taking on some of these patronages or will they only be distributed among her children and grandchildren who are working members of the family?

Looking forward to finding out the details  this week.
