‘You’re Not My King,’ Protesters Tell Charles III

Not everyone in England loves the Royal family. As England lays to rest the late monarch Queen Elizabeth II, there are some who would like to bury the monarchy altogether. Protesters gathered outside the UK’s Houses of Parliament, demanding an end to the royal tradition. Regarding the accession of King Charles III, lawyer and anti-monarchist protester Paul Powlesland told Reuters, “We politely and very respectfully disagree with you. You're not my king.”

I have heard some interesting opinions about both Charles as the bad guy and Charles as the victim of the royal family. In a nutshell, some believe he was forced to marry Diana while others believe he did it out of spite as Camilla married another man when Camilla and George were always in love to begin with. Either way, most remember or have heard of the issues between George and Diana which is why Charles has a more negative and less favorable reputation with the world.

You know, a reason America was rediscovered by English immigrants was because they didn’t want to be ruled by Kings and Queens. Monarchy is too embedded in UK’s system and the world, so it’s not going anywhere. I’d say your next solution is to come to America, but it’s a battlefield over here with evil people gaining power and deadly policies in place. You all have it too good where you’re at now.

You could’ve been born here where you have to pay 30 grand just to give birth to a baby, have the chance to get killed by a gun any second, where people hate black lives, where your kids have a high chance of being kidnapped, sexually assaulted, etc. You call this country the best place to live (America)

Nope, it would be just a dictatorship. If they ate going to become a Republic, they should've reunited with Ireland instead.

Do you know what the effective tax rate for when a commoner does inherent an estate? 40%. Do you know how much Charles and William and the rest of them had to pay in taxes for the billion dollar estates they've just inherited? 0% This is how they stay rich and you stay poor.

If they don’t like that he’s king then end the monarchy. The country literally runs on the fact that the position is passed down from generation to generation no matter what. If new age society doesn’t like how it works, then modernize the whole thing… don’t woke-out on us

There seems to be a misconception hanging around that the monarchy doesn't actually do anything. Sure, we could dissolve the government down to just a prime minister but that could be problematic in itself.

[@thitran1362]

In theory they do have power but like dissolving parliament or dismissing the prime minister but they never act on it because if they do that would cause a lot of problems and possibly end the monarchy together.
