All of this is largely in related to the queen herself than the monarch in general.
So when the queen die, I strongly feel people feeling toward the monarch will changes, especially as Charles is not exactly as popular as the queen.

He is pretty popular though, and considered pretty sensible and aware of lots of issues (environment, prices trust etc) The bad thing is he can't voice them anymore as king.

Those numbers are from both. The monarchy is still popular but declining in support pretty fast.
Interestingly, the high water mark for support for the monarchy appears to have been just after the Queen parachuted into the Olympic stadium in 2012.

I was looking at various opinion polls on the Queen, taken by pollsters over the last few years (so not affected by her death). A few snippets (taken from different polls):
98% of people polled know who the Queen of England is.
82% of people polled think she does a good as monarch.
8% of people polled dislike the Queen.
62% believe the monarchy is a positive thing to be protected and continued.
12% of people polled think the monarchy is a negative influence on society.
The Queen is/was popular. The Monarchy is popular (although becoming less so over time).
While I see the monarchy as a relatively harmless curiosity, I respect the fact that a lot of people are really attached to it and are probably grieving to some level at the moment. So fuck it, maybe Arsenal vs Everton being postponed isnt such a bad thing in the grand scheme of things.
