It's been just over two weeks since the King and Queen were crowned in a historic coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. With a peak TV audience of around 20 million people in the UK and many more tuning in around the world, the state occasion certainly captured the imagination and it would seem that is also true of our new monarch's reign.

An exclusive poll conducted by our website hellomagazine.com asked what our readers thought of Charles as the nation's King - and in a huge boost to the royal family, the results were overwhelmingly positive.

We had more than 1,200 responses and when asked: "Do you think the new monarch has the qualities to be a successful King?", 73% voted "yes", with only 18% saying "no".

PERFECT BALANCE

Similarly, when we asked: "Do you think the coronation struck the right balance between the ancient traditions of pomp and pageantry and looking towards a more modern monarchy?", 76% agreed and only 16% said they did not.
