With a royal wedding coming up thoughts of marrying into wealth are in many people’s minds, but a new survey by The Weekly has found that Australian women would rather marry a tradie than a prince.
The 1000 women surveyed also said that they would rather marry a tradie than a millionaire, an actor or sportsman.

“I think it’s a very Australian result,” editor-in-chief Helen McCabe said.
“Australian women are very down to earth and that’s reflected in this result.”

Fifty-two percent think the nation should remain a monarchy, while 82 percent want William to be the next king instead of Charles.

And Diana still tops the popularity poll of the royals, joint with Princess Mary on 45 percent support from the public.
