The coronation of King Charles takes place in less than two weeks, with Prince William, Catherine and Prince Harry among those attending while Meghan stays in the US.

To gauge the public mood ahead of the event, Panorama commissioned a YouGov opinion poll which has suggested public opinion about the British Royal Family is changing.

The results suggest broad support for keeping the monarchy, with 58% preferring it to an elected head of state- which was supported by 26%.

But the results found less than a third of 18 to 24-year-olds in the UK want the monarchy to continue.

It also found that almost half of those asked who were from ethnic minority backgrounds believe the Royal Family has a problem with race and diversity.
