(Angus Reid Global Scan) - Few adults in Britain believe their nation should change its current political structure, according to a poll released by ITV News. 68 per cent of respondents support the continuation of the monarchy, while 13 per cent would prefer to establish a republic.

Queen Elizabeth II has been the monarch of 16 independent nations since February 1952. The Queen will turn 80 years old this month.

Prince Charles is first in line to succeed Queen Elizabeth II, followed by his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. In April 2005, Charles married long-time companion Camilla Parker Bowles in a civil ceremony.

Parker Bowles became the Duchess of Cornwall after the marriage, and has declared she would take the title of Princess Consort in the event Prince Charles becomes King. 64 per cent of respondents believe Parker-Bowles should not become Queen.

Prince William—born in 1982—attended Eton College and participated in British Army training in Belize and as a volunteer with Raleigh International in Chile.

Earlier this month, Prince Harry—born in 1984—graduated as an officer from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
