The newspaper speculated that some of this may have been a reaction to the Queen's death, and said it showed dissatisfaction is higher among young people; 47% of people aged between 18 and 24 wanted the monarchy to continue, compared to 86% aged 65 and over. In May 2022, before the Queen's death, the newspaper reported that polling showed 33% of those aged between 18 and 24 wanted the monarchy to continue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/16/britain-grief-polling-figures-monarchy-popularity|title=Britain may look united in grief – but polling shows a growing generational divide|work=[[The Guardian]]|first=Matthew|last=Smith|date=16 September 2022|accessdate=28 November 2022}}</ref> In January 2023, a [[YouGov]] survey of roughly 1,700 UK people found that 64% thought that the country should continue to have a monarchy, though that was lower than the 67% in September 2022 around the time of Queen Elizabeth II's death.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://time.com/6246128/prince-harry-monarchy-attitudes-spare/|title=Why Prince Harry's Unsparing Attacks Did Little to Dent the Royal Family's Popularity|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|first=Yasmeen|last=Serhan|date=10 January 2023|accessdate=24 February 2023|archive-date=24 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230224110905/https://time.com/6246128/prince-harry-monarchy-attitudes-spare/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=British Monarchy Poll |url=https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/leosln75nr/Internal_Royals_230111.pdf |publisher=YouGov |access-date=22 April 2023 |archive-date=22 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422181342/https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/leosln75nr/Internal_Royals_230111.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
