Prince Charles is the nation’s new favorite royal.

The royal family has been facing tons of controversies this year prompting many to believe that this year is another annus horribilis for Queen Elizabeth II. While Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle suffered a major blow from the public, the Prince of Wales was receiving more support from the people.

According to Jessica Green for Mail Online, Prince Charles is now the “nation’s favorite royal.” The Prince of Wales has finally won the respect of the masses after Prince Andrew was sacked from his royal duties.

“He's long approached his role with exuberance and a deeply-rooted desire to do good, but respect from the masses has, until recently, eluded him,” royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter wrote on Nine.com.au.

“Thanks to a catalog of errors on his part, combined with a press and people largely in favour of his former wife, Diana, Charles has endured decades of scorn and ridicule, but it seems the tide may be turning.”

Social media users have also become more supportive to the future king after his documentary on ITV aired. One even said that the more he watched it, the more he was convinced that Prince Charles will make an “excellent king.“

“Loving these documentaries about # PrinceCharles. I grow more fond and have more respect for him with each year,” another user commented.

At present, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are in New Zealand for an official tour. Last week, Prince Andrew broke his silence about the Epstein scandal and denied the claims that he had sex with Virginia Roberts. According to a source, Prince Charles wasn’t happy after he learned his younger brother’s interview and will likely give him “stern words” when he gets home.

The insider added that the Prince of Wales would demand to know why he was allowed to do the controversial interview and why he did it without consulting him. Royal biographer Christopher Andersen said that that the future king doesn’t want to inherit a crown that is tarnished, scratched and dented by scandals.
