Quotation: "There does seem to be overall, a level of support for the monarchy in Wales," said Craig Prescott, an expert in constitutional law and politics at Bangor University.
"But perhaps it feels a little bit less strong than in other parts of the UK. So it does mean the monarchy has an interesting place in Wales and an interesting relationship with Wales."
One of the reasons for that, he said was how the UK was seen as a union of four nations and it was the role of the monarchy to reflect that.
Looking to the future, Dr Prescott believes being visible in Wales is essential for the royal family.
"I think it will be important for both the King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales to be seen around different parts of Wales, and come up to north Wales as often as they are seen in Cardiff and south Wales.
"Queen Elizabeth II always said she needed to be seen to be believed and I think that will be just as true during the reign of Charles III as it was during the reign of Elizabeth II."
