Map reveals the places in Britain where people love the Royal Family the most… and the least
THE places in Britain where people love the Royal Family the most – and the least – have been revealed in a new map.
The most royalist areas in the UK are in Greater London and the south-west, while support for the royals is lowest in Manchester, Glasgow and Liverpool.
It comes at a tense time for the monarchy following the fall-out from Prince Andrew’s interview with the BBC’s Newsnight on his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
But the study of more than 20,000 people reveals the royals still have high sway across the majority of the country.
The graphic, created by UnHerd Britain, maps the opinions of all600 UK constituencies.
In total, 54 per cent of those surveyed agree they are “a strong supporter of the continued reign of the royal family”.
Old Bexley and Sidcup in Greater London topped the chart with 68 per cent, while Christchurch in the south-west came in second with 65 per cent pledging royal allegiance.
But it’s not all good news for the monarchy.
