A YouGov poll of over 3,000 adults conducted this month revealed that a majority of British people are not interested in the upcoming coronation of the King and Queen
Consort, although many said they would still watch it or take part in related festivities. Among those surveyed, 35% said they "do not care very much" about the historic event, and 29% said they "do not care at all".
A total of 46% said they are likely to watch the coronation or take part in related celebrations. Interestingly, younger age groups displayed higher levels of apathy towards the coronation, with 75% of people aged between 18 and 24 saying they do not care about the event. Even among the over-65s, the most pro-royal demographic, 53% said they did not care "very much" or "at all".
