Prince Harry Takes The Popularity Award From Kate Middleton In New Poll: Bags First Position

When it comes to choosing between two most popular royals Prince Harry and Duchess of Cambridge Catherine, the Britishers have surprisingly chosen Prince Harry. The Duchess of Cambridge did not even make it to third spot in terms of popularity. A recent poll conducted to gauge the popularity of royals in Britain revealed that the most eligible bachelor Prince Harry is more popular than most of the royals including the Queen, Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge -- who bagged second, third and fourth positions respectively.

The poll was conducted by YouGov poll through News Week website where around 3,000 random British adults were asked multiple choice questions. The questions were mostly based on the role of these royals in many fields. Harry came out as the most popular member of Britain's Royal Family, with 20 percent of respondents getting impressed with the 30-year-old "kind hearted" nature. Most respondents also called him "genuine," "good role model" and someone who is "in touch with ordinary people."

Harry's top spot in the poll can be based on his recent charitable appearances and also how he conducted himself during his tours to Brazil and Chile. The British royal also spearheaded the U.K.'s first Invictus Games where he won the hearts of less fortunate people. Harry expressed his desire to make the games an annual event.

Prince Philip and Prince Charles tied in fifth place while the new royal, baby Prince George of Cambridge bagged sixth spot. The Duchess Kate Middleton was also called as a "positive role model" and lauded for her "attractive, intelligent and genuine nature."

Kate Middleton's popularity was on the decline in the past few years, according to the poll results. Just one per cent of respondents said that they wanted to be like her and a whopping 89 per cent respondents revealed that they had no interest in stepping in her shoes even for a day. Most of the respondents were of the opinion that she did not have her opinion and should be allowed to voice out her views on certain subjects. The Britishers desire to see her more often in public appearances.
