I am not British but I greatly admire the British Royal Family. The popularity of the BRF and its future is not something that affects me personally, but I am concerned when I see articles like this:

Can someone comment on this? Is this a temporary thing in response to Harry and Meghan's whining or as the younger population ages, is there more of a chance of the Monarchy being abolished in the future?
I expect the younger people (note: it is only a small age group representing only 7 years; while the other groups represent 25/15/35+ years) to become more in favor of the monarchy when they grow older. And yes, I do think Harry and Meghan do have something to do with it, as they are only popular among that age group; any other age group prefers the other members of the BRF over them although the 'fall' among 25-49 might also be due to H and M. So, yes, I expect their opinions to change with time - but not for all of them of course; so, I am not really concerned but it isn't a good sign either.
