There has long been a generational divide in Britain over the role of the royal family. Britons as a whole strongly support the institution of the monarchy, with about two-thirds in favor of maintaining it, according to a YouGov poll last week. Evans’ age cohort is too young to have personal recollections of Harry’s mother, the free-spirited and emotive Princess Diana. Exiled from the royal family after her split from Prince Charles, she was fatally injured in a 1997 Paris car crash with paparazzi in pursuit. Few in Britain expect the monarchy is going anywhere, especially while Elizabeth, a beloved national icon, sits on the throne.
