“THEY SAID NOTHING… AND WON EVERYTHING.” The 2025 Rankings Just Dropped and the Internet is Screaming! The numbers don’t lie.
While others shouted, complained, and chased the spotlight, Prince William and Princess Catherine remained silent. And now? That silence just echoed louder than any interview ever could.
The latest YouGov Royal Family Favourability Tracker (January 2026, reflecting late 2025 data) is officially out, and it marks a decisive victory for grace over noise. The Prince and Princess of Wales have once again claimed the top spots as the most positively viewed members of the British royal family—proving that quiet service, dignity, and consistency still resonate with the public.
Here’s the stunning breakdown:
Prince William → 77% positive opinion (top spot)
Princess Catherine → 74% positive opinion (close second)
Princess Anne → 70% (steady third)
King Charles III → 60% (solid fourth)
The real shock? The massive gap at the bottom. Meghan Markle hit her lowest-ever rating at just 19% positive (with 66% negative), while Prince Harry sits at 31% positive (60% negative). Prince Andrew plunged to a record low of 3% positive. The divide between first and last has rarely been wider.
These powerful side-by-side moments capture the Waleses’ enduring appeal:

Royal watchers are calling this the ultimate vindication: William and Catherine’s focus on duty, family, and low-key philanthropy throughout 2025—while navigating personal challenges with poise—has paid off. Their “say less, do more” approach has only strengthened their connection with the British public.
The internet is melting down with reactions: “Grace wins again!” “The numbers speak for themselves!” “Quiet strength > constant drama.”
