Royal Family News: King Charles To Face Anti-Monarchy Protests During Coronation

According to The Times, anti-monarchists are headed to London in droves. Apparently, Republic activists will wear yellow T-shirts and wave yellow placards so even King Charles can see them. They will also chant “Not my King” as loud as they can. Back in March, protesters held signs and shouted “not my king” at Westminster Abbey ahead of the royal family’s arrival for their annual Commonwealth Day service. It was loud enough for King Charles to hear it and most certainly the nearby British media who were there with their cameras rolling.

Now, as far as what’s to expect during the coronation, Graham Smith, the head of Republic, said in an interview, “We are aiming for a party atmosphere. We always try to engage with those people, keep it lighthearted. Some people get annoyed and upset, but most people accept the fact that people are allowed to protest. We’ve also got the police around if there’s any trouble.”

He added: “A lot of the people aren’t really staunch monarchists, they’re just there to see something that’s big or historic or whatever. We see them as potential republicans.”

So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the planned protests. Watch this space.
