Three factors playing out:

1. The King isnt as popular as the Late queen Elizabeth. The people are not use to the change yet and they dont seem like they want to or going to get use to it anytime soon.

2. The Late Princess Diana death is still playing against everyone in the royal family. The Citizens still looking for scapegoats.
The Queen consort, Camillia is always the victim here.

3. I think the citizens are tired of not being able to elect their leader themselves. They want a president not some fancy kingdom with kings and queens.

They wish to vote their leader themselves. They want to be the decider and for that to happen, they need to scrap the monarchy system entirely.

Not very possible with the way things stand.

You go think say you sound smart not knowing you sound like a slow poke. The protest has got nothing to do with princess Diana and King Charles. The people are saying No to monarchy as a system. The monarchy is just there to collect money from tax payers and fund the lifestyle of an entitled family that does absolutely nothing.

The key question is what role does the monarchy play? We have a prime minister why do we need a king? Mugu angry

Clowns! The British monarchy is just ceremonial. No executive power

Do they even know amount of money that the monarchy brings into uk economy from tourism?

And some Nigerians that have thousands of kings in their villages are supporting the protesters. Hypocritical clowns!


You're a clown yourself. You simply dont know the power of the British crown. Even Australia still answers to the British crown. The head of the Commonwealth countries is the British crown. The British Prime Minister is the ceremonial but workaholic head of Britain because he must meet up with the demands of the British crown. There are other British virgin Islands you simply dont know about. Go and look at the pictures of the British pounds and understand why Britain belongs to the crown.

That coronation was estimated to cost 175m USD. I think monarchy in UK may end with King Charles. i was shocked when i saw the number of protesters on TV.

I was shocked seeing the numbers in the picture.

I see the monarchy in trouble and going into extinction from King Charles' reign.

I watched the event throughout. It was all about lavishness. However, I think if King Charles had abdicated the throne to William may be the outrage would not have been this much. I think many Brits have not forgiven King Charles because of what happened to Dianna.

I know this post will be from Washington Post.
American media hates the joy, culture and tradition of the British Monarchy. Rather than celebrate it, they will rather look for that small blot in the wool.
Bad Belle Americans. They should go and deal with their gun violence and rundown downtowns.

What the f*ck are you saying
You certainly know nothing of the British Monarchy
They don't put people under their feet, By the way there are elections in the United Kingdom. In case your small brain doesn't know, they have a prime minister who is duly elected. The king is just the ceremonial head of state, but he is not Supreme, because he governs using what we call a constitutional monarchy. So don't come to nairaland to blabber. No one is putting anyone under their feet.

People like you should really go back to school. I guess you never learnt anything important. Coming here to say nonsense is absolutely ridiculous! Then you should go and start believing what your town crier says rather than what a certified and famous News website says. Hiss!

CNN, BBC, and other propaganda media would have ran 24hrs non-stop news about how 250 people were killed. They will litter all our front-page with fake photo-op crime scene about how children, pregnant women, and dogs are feeling vulnerable and unsafe

US have been going around the globe trying to push democracy on the countries not practicing them, especially in Africa. You wonder why they are quiet about 'voice suppression happening in UK.

you are bothered about the cost of coronation and not what the monarchy brings in. The Monarchy is what made Great Britain what it is today. They have conquered and won kingdoms. These kingdoms in one way or the other are contributing to GB. Nigeria for instance. They will loose more if this changes.

thing is many did not even listen to the oath the man took and don’t understand how this is . He swore to serve everyone. This position comes with great responsibility and accountability. It’s not what anyone who is not willing to be under people do. We think these guys are enjoying. He must keep doing all to ensure that the kingdoms that have been conquered remain under their influence or you think Nigeria for instance is truly independent?

Enough of this monarchy in the UK. Times have changed. Primitive days are over. Why would people worship other human beings. Those who reigned as kings were just smarter than rest of their pairs back in the days. It really is enough, they enjoy so much influence and wealth, while others have almost nothing. Most European countries fought and abolished the monarchy thing and they succeeded.

I agree with them to some extent that the British monarchy is giving impression that UK is a classist society, that some people are more equal than others. There have not been general election for prime minister position in UK for a while now.

Culturally, I think the British monarch is the best of the preserved of the British cultures.
