King Charles, despite ranking fifth in overall influence, has had the most articles written about him this year, likely influenced by his coronation in May. As the monarch, his actions, statements, and activities draw considerable media attention compared to other royal family members.
A spokesperson for GetInsta commented on the findings, stating: "The British Royal Family undeniably holds a significant level of influence and captivates the interest of people worldwide. This research offers an intriguing perspective on the most influential members of the royal family who maintain broad popularity among the public."
With the release of Netflix's The Crown focusing on the Royal Family's lives from the late 1990s through the 2000s, these rankings may witness further shifts in the public's perception.
