Younger people are less in favour of the monarchy than older people in the UK, said Sriram Laxman, Foreign correspondent of The Hindu. "That is what you will also see in other Commonwealth realms as they called where the British monarch is the head of state," Mr Laxman said. Queen Elizabeth II's coffin was on Monday lowered into the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, bringing to an end public mourning for Britain's longest-reigning monarch.
