　　Survey: Young Britons Want to Drop the MonarchyGsUXhyDJg(PcLy_2st9+

　　Young people in Britain do not think the country should keep the monarchy, a new survey shows. They now favor an elected head of state.k_lKYOxy+s=l3

　　In the survey by YouGov, 41 percent of those aged 18 to 24 thought there should be an elected head of state. Thirty-one percent said they wanted a king or queen.CAd3R3R#N7VOz5Xsx

　　That is a reversal from just two years ago, when 46 percent favored the monarchy and 26 percent wanted it gone.lTI.o|yhotDr4|@g,ziQ

　　The current British monarchy dates back to William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066. For centuries before that, however, royal families ruled many kingdoms across England, Scotland and Wales.^X-Ac,dFwb~6

　　Among all British people, the survey had better news for Queen Elizabeth and the royal family. Overall, 61 percent supported the monarchy, while 24 percent thought there should be an elected head of state.^uSlHQy33K@9kJC]X5

　　The last few months have been especially difficult for the royal family. In April, Elizabeth's husband Prince Philip died at age 99. And in March, there was the interview by the queen's grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan with television star Oprah Winfrey. In the widely watched interview, the couple said the royal family did not provide them with emotional or financial support and were asked by family members about the skin color of their unborn child. The two officially left the monarchy in early 2020.l0a*bgOcWO%Azf9UWZ0

　　The monarchy is not likely to end as long as Queen Elizabeth remains head of the royal family. But, there is concern among the royals about decreasing support among younger Britons.@TH[-8t&%xT7H%+T2I

　　Among 4,870 adults in the survey aged 25-49, 53 percent supported keeping the monarchy. That is down 5 percent from a 2019 survey, while support for an elected head of state was up 4 percent. Among those over 65, 81 percent supported the monarchy, nearly the same number as two years ago.XdReN&moI3xn%8^V3_5

　　Past surveys have shown that younger generations also hold more favorable feelings toward Harry and Meghan.XCH#1sXTtmG8Adl4.Hs
