Scotland’s sentiments for the monarchy: a growing call for constitutional change

Public sentiment remains divided in Scotland with 50% wishing to retain the monarchy and 41% thinking it should stay even with independence. Taking into consideration those who are undecided, it is close in this scenario, with 40% preferring a move to a republic with an elected head of state. As anticipated following the death of Queen Elizabeth, polls are indicating the favourability of the royal family will continue to decline.
