Britons want monarchy, but not Camilla as queen LONDON, Saturday (AFP) Most Britons want to retain the monarchy, but few want Camilla Parker Bowles to be queen when Prince Charles takes the throne, an opinion poll in the Daily Mail newspaper on Saturday suggests. Sixty percent of the 511 respondents to the ICM poll, conducted by telephone on Wednesday, said Britain would be worse off without the monarchy, and 71 percent disagreed that the monarchy should end with Queen Elizabeth II. But while 57 percent approved of Prince Charles marrying longtime partner Parker Bowles in a civil ceremony on April 8, 73 percent said she should never become queen at his side. Sixty-five percent also believed that their marriage will weaken the British monarchy, an increase of 16 percentage points since the question was last asked by pollsters six weeks ago. |
