“So secretive, so full of scandal … And yet we’re supposed to say God save the King”

This is what teacher and anti-monarchy activist Danni says about why he’s been out on the streets drumming up support for a vote on the future of the royal family.

As the country gears up for the coronation of King Charles III, the scandals and cost of the monarchy has come under greater scrutiny, and anti-monarchist groups believe that this is their opportunity to get the public on their side.

British public support for monarchy at historic low, with only three in 10 Britons believing the monarchy is “very important” — the lowest proportion on record, according to a survey by the National Centre for Social Research.

But while peaceful protests are planned for coronation day, many anti-monarchists report having received ‘intimidatory’ letters by the Home Office, saying that new criminal offences to prevent disruption which came into place merely days before King Charles III is crowned— including a possible 12 months behind bars for protesters blocking roads and six months for locking onto buildings — have been rushed into law.
