In the eight European countries with monarchs, the monarch's approval rating surpasses that of the country's leader by an average of 28 percentage points. This contrast is particularly striking, with some cases showing a difference of more than double.

The largest disparity is observed in the Netherlands, with a margin of 35 percentage points (63% versus 28%), while the narrowest gap is in Sweden, with a 17 percentage point difference (55% versus 38%). Interestingly, none of the monarchies in Europe have a country leader with an approval rating exceeding 50%, with the highest being 49% in Luxembourg.
