Poll shows support for Royal Family

[Hopeless Romantic]

The majority of British people believe the country is better off because of the Royal Family, a new poll has revealed.

An ICM survey for The Guardian found that 63% of those questioned thought that the UK would be worse off if the monarchy was not in place.

Just over a quarter (26%) said they believed the country would be better off without the royals, with 11% not knowing.

Nearly seven out of 10 people (67%) think the monarchy is "relevant" to life in Britain today, while 60% agree that it makes the country more respected around the world.
