LW: Diana fans ‘hiss and boo’ at ‘King Charles’ in musical

King Charles is nearing the end of his first year as monarch, but no matter how good the reviews are, his eldest son, Prince William, is always going to be more popular, according to a royal expert.

Daily Express spoke to author and podcast host Kristen Meinzer, who says: “When the royals are Hollywood age, that’s when the public tends to love them the most.”

She explains ‘Hollywood age’ refers to the time when someone is “living out the fairytale” of falling in love and becoming a young parent.

But Meinzer believes William’s popularity is two-fold: partly because of his age and partly because he is Princess Diana’s son.

She said: “It’s the same with Hollywood stars, when they are the ages between roughly 15 and 45, when they are living out the fairytale, when they are young parents, when they are falling in love, all of those things are happening, that’s when the royals are most popular.”

“So, that’s definitely to William’s benefit, he just has age on his side, he also, as I said, the fact that he’s Diana’s son on his side, and, he also has on his side, people just don’t like Charles as much, they just don’t.

William met his wife, Princess Kate, at University of St Andrews.

The two married in 2011 and had their first child in 2013.

While William may have a strong following, his wife Princess Kate holds the No. 1 spot in the US, according to a recent poll.

Princess Kate was the frontrunner in the Daily Maill poll, receiving a 44 per cent positivity score.

Kate’s husband, Prince William, wasn’t far behind, coming in at 36 percent.

If Meinzer’s theory is correct, William is 41, turning 42 this coming June, and will be past Hollywood age in four years, but, at the same time, he has his mini royals, George, 10, Charlotte, eight, Louis, five, to keep him young (and relevant).
