Never heard a European or Brit describe any royalty as classy, other than in sarcastic jabs at their mates (e.g “Who do you think you are, the Queen?” when somebody goes for the second-cheapest instant noodle option, instead of the cheapest).
Largely, at least in Britain, they’re pretty widely considered inbred freeloaders, in my experience. Might be very biased, as I’m of a younger generation, but a lot of the older folk I’ve spoken to feel similarly (if, mostly, less hostile).
Most people are completely apathetic at best, I think.
I find that most people I talk to had positive opinions of the late queen, but as you said are apathetic towards Charles at best and disturbed by Andrew. Prince William seems to be highly regarded though.
