The Spin
Narrative A
The data is consistently showing that younger people in Britain no longer agree with the idea of a monarchy. What's more, they are bucking the trends and not becoming more conservative with age. As today's 25-year-olds become tomorrow's 45-year-olds, it spells serious dangers for King Charles's reign.
Narrative B
