The Royal Family has been shaken over the past year due to several scandals. The Sussex’s shock interview with Oprah Winfrey hasn’t helped the Firm’s reputation, which has been further marred by the court case surrounding Prince Andrew. And now the latest polls suggest a clear divide has opened up in the UK.

       Statista asked 1,629 Brits the question: “Do you think Britain should continue to have a monarchy in the future, or should it be replaced with an elected head of state?”

       Their survey found that although the royals are loved by many across all age groups, the biggest fans of the Royal Family are among those aged 65 and older.

       In contrast, the lowest support for the monarchy is among 18 to 24-year-old's.

       A whopping 84 percent of those surveyed aged 65 and older said the monarchy should continue.

       On the other hand, just 34 percent of 18 to 24-year-old's said they wanted an elected head of state instead of the monarchy.

       Overall support for the crown remains high even among the younger age groups.

       The majority (44 percent) of 18 to 24-year-olds said Britain should continue to have a Royal Family.

       Across all age groups, 62 percent of respondents said the UK should continue to have a monarchy.

       A minority of just 21 percent said the monarchy should be scrapped in favour of an elected head of state.

       Republic, a pro-abolition pressure group has long campaigned for the abolition of the monarchy.

       But royal expert Marlene Koenig has blasted this idea, she told Insider: "The monarchy is not going anywhere anytime soon.”

       Abolishing the royal family which has been in power for 37 generations won’t be an easy task.

       But as the Queen approaches her Platinum Jubilee next year, could the days of the Royal Family be numbered?
