Below is a summary of the key findings of the questions on whether the monarchy should be abolished, whether there should be a new Prince of Wales when Charles becomes King, and the nature of a possible future investiture ceremony.
Key findings
- Three in five adults in Wales disagree that the monarchy should be abolished (62%), while one in five agree that it should be (18%)
- Half of adults in Wales agree that there should be a new Prince of Wales when Prince Charles becomes King (50%), compared to less than a quarter who disagree (22%).
- When it comes to the possibility of an investiture for a possible successor to Prince Charles as Prince of Wales, the most popular outcome is that there is ‘an investiture similar to that Prince Charles had at Caenarfon in 1969’ (41%), while one in five think that a different style of investiture should take place (20%) and three in ten think that there should be no investiture at all (30%).
