Britain’s <strong>Monarchy</strong>: More Popular Than Ever<br />

Queen Elizabeth II is Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, and today marks her 90th birthday.<br />

Many observers predicted that Britain’s monarchy would eventually fall into decline, but polls have<br />

proved that it is actually flourishing. Ipsos Mori recently found that 76 per cent of Britons think<br />

their country should remain a monarchy, while 17 per cent think it should become a republic with<br />

an elected president. A large majority of people in the UK also believe that the monarchy has an<br />

important role to play in the country’s future.<br />
