Does anybody know if this gotten really worse? Ipsos is said to have made another poll, ending with the DRF loosing its reputation up to 70% .

I am not aware of any recent poll. The family has been lying low since their ill-judged holiday in Greece in October. So, yes, a few months ago people were very much aware of this mistake. Nowadays many are fed up with the Covid-regulations themselves (that's why the government decided to loosen the restrictions a bit even though the numbers had stabilized at a rather high level - the media just reported that the current measures will remain for another 3 weeks; the PM will most likely confirm that early next week) and might spend a thought or two on the upcoming elections in 1 1/2 weeks; very few would still think about what the king and queen did or didn't do in October.
Not sure where the 70% is coming from though - but my expectation is that improvement rates will slowly increase - especially since the long political process of forming a new government will start later this month; so people will be concerned and probably fed up with the politicians instead.
