William to be next king: 59%
And one in three wants the Queen to abdicate within the next two years, according to the study.
The Panelbase survey conducted for the Sunday Times detected signs of a “fairytale effect”, with William and Kate Middleton’s wedding under three weeks away.
The poll of almost 2,000 adults, carried out between Tuesday and Thursday, found that 59% of people favour dispensing with tradition to see William, rather than his father, the Prince of Wales, ascend the throne.
