The British monarchy has never been cooler and that’s official. Since last year’s royal wedding, the family is enjoying and all-time high.
So what is the reason behind this surge in popularity? The House of Windsor’s next generation, led by William, Kate and Harry.
The young royals have proven a valuable asset and are now so beloved even Harry’s naked photo scandal didn’t dampen their appeal.
