King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer last year, only 17 months after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
Charles waited for almost 70 years to ascend to the throne at the age of 73 but it seems unlikely that his heir will have to wait as much as his father had to.
The future of the monarchy has been under media discussions as the king continues to receive treatment for an unspecified form of cancer.
Although his family members have been in the headlines which put the Windsors' in bad light, King Charles' popularity has largely remained stable.
The father of Prince William and Prince Harry maintains a generally favorable approval rating in the UK, though it is notably less among younger Britons, according to multiple opinion polls conducted since his ascension to the throne
According to those polls, his reception in the US has had fluctuations, particularly influenced by specific events or scandals.
King Charles III has generally been viewed positively by older demographics, with significant support for the monarchy overall.
However, his approval ratings among younger demographics, particularly those aged 18-24, have been less favorable, showing a net negative opinion in some polls.
Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, consistently rank higher in favorability, particularly with the younger audience
However, the overall perception of the king remains largely positive when considering the broader population.
