Prince Harry has been named the nation's favourite royal in a new YouGov poll.

Thanks to his hands-on approach and kind-hearted nature, 30-year-old Harry earned a 97 per cent positivity score ahead of the Queen, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge – who came second, third and fourth respectively.

Prince Philip and Prince Charles tied in fifth place while in sixth place was one-year-old Prince George of Cambridge.
