Are young Britons attached to the monarchy?

Of all Britons, the youngest are those who adhere the least to the monarchy. However, many of them have hurriedare towards Buckingham Palace, London (Great Britain), Saturday September 10. For a group of friends met by France Televisions, the monarchy is above all an object of national pride. “It makes us unique, it gives us values ​​in which we can believe and differentiates us from other countries.“, assures a man. “I would like to see the monarchy continue. Maybe not with Charles, but the monarchy is an asset“, abounds another.

The emotion aroused by the death of Elizabeth II still does not manage to erase a basic trend: 41% of Britons aged 18 to 25 would prefer to have an elected head of state – a figure that is constantly increasing, according to the annual survey on this issue. A gap seems to be widening between the concerns of the new generations and the splendor of royalty. “When we have an increase in precariousness and inequalities and there is a family that owns such a percentage of land in the country, I tell myself that it could be better used“, believes for example a Briton.
