Well, the ''YouGov most admired person'' figures for 2018 is here, so let's go through them:
(I will only list royal persons here, with the exception of the first place.)
The most admired persons in the UK:
Among the 30 most admired Women:
1. The Queen with 19.60%.
9. Kate with 3.20%.
Among the 30 most admired men:
1. David Attenborough with 16.60%.
4. Harry with 5.30%.
7. William with 4.20%.
9. Philip with 3.10% (first time for him in this poll).
See the list here:

This is a DF picture, which only includes 20 of the 30 persons in the list.
And I who was afraid that the ridiculous Duchy of Lancaster Paradise Papers thing (in November last year) was going to damage the Queen's popularity, but that has not happened at all.
Her admired numbers are up from 2016 - and her Ipsos MORI/YouGov approval/favourability ratings are still between 80 and 90% (as they've been since 2002).
