Anti-monarchy campaigners have pledged to re-double their efforts to bring down the monarchy after new polling showed support continues to decline.

The British Social Attitudes survey puts support for abolition at 38% against 51% for the monarchy.

The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) has released new findings from the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey, showing how the public’s views towards the monarchy have shifted over the past four decades.

Republic has commissioned a number of polls by YouGov and Savanta since the coronation, each showing a sharp drop in support for the royals and about a third wanting the monarchy gone.

Speaking for Republic, CEO Graham Smith said today:

"The royals have no cards left to play. They increasingly look like out of touch celebrities, tax-funded Kardashians. If they cling on to their tax breaks, secrecy and wealth they'll be turfed out sooner than might be expected."

"The number of people excited about the royals is rapidly diminishing and largely limited to the over-65s."

"Most people simply don't care about the monarchy. It's not relevant to their every day concerns and is at odds with most people's values."

"The monarchy has been rocked by scandal and they have lost their first line of defence, the late queen."

"Meanwhile the anti-monarchy campaign continues to challenge the institution, the myths and costly parades."

"The monarchy is corrupt, secretive and completely out of step with British values. It is clearly time it went."

"It's all to play for, the monarchy has never looked so vulnerable and I believe it's a matter of when, not if the monarchy is abolished."
