The British public liked, in broad terms, not the monarchy, but The Queen. Now we have a King who's said his job is to prepare things for the King-in-waiting and few have strong feelings towards William either--and neither of them seem to have done anything of diplomatic note. The monarchy does provide a great diplomatic and PR service to the UK. They're essentially soft power. The fact this is even a discussion point on this website is a great example. And The Queen was loved globally, far more than she was in the UK, yet Charles and William leave me cold frankly. I'm happy the crown is being criticised and held to account but low support for the crown is hardly news and I doubt any major shift of opinion has happened regardless of how underwhelming the new King seems compared to his mother.
