mrsDugskullery Can you imagine a UK based on a system of prime minister and a president. You think it's bad now how worse would it be with two conservative heads at the helm?

So they're saying they're moving? Ciao babies!

Probably the same fruit loops who glue there self's to the M25..or fresh out the mad house on there yearly day out..

Maundy Thursday is a religious day , nothing to do with royalty

Long live King Harry!

You're working 40 hours a week, paying your mortgage and bills, cheerleading a family of multi millionaires and their children to reign over you from birth. Really use your brain and think about it

These peasants should know their place. The monarchy are just better than us and our loved ones because they just are. Princess Eugenie and Beatrice are better than my war veteran grandfather because of their bloodline. That is a fact. Long live the king. We are not worthy

NotMyKing

Thousands of well wishers, 30 protesters....

because they are not good people be on the right side of history AbolishTheMonachy

Someone send em to Ireland!

Oh but he is, no matter how often or loudly the unwashed shout.

Even though they are a tiny number who don’t seem to growing and seem more pathetic each time they appear I would think and hope that they will be kept well away as a security risk with the amount of dignitaries that will be there!

LOL I love the way they make out that the regular crowd who were there early are part of the ‘Not my King’ crown at the back…a little organized yellow group of followers.

If they researched it a bit more, I think these posh twats would discover that he literally is their king..🤣

about time the media encouraged debate around the royal family. £12 million reasons to abolish it

Well they have a shock coming to them.....because he is

Why don’t they move abroad.

Prats.

‘About 30 protesters’ A bit like you’re reporting on the anti war demonstration back in the day when instead of a million it was a few thousand. Great reporting—keep it classy —and factual.

Shameless pair hope noone watching this

LONG LIVE KING CHARLES

Brilliant.

That's not how it works, like it or not, he's our King! Godsavetheking

something for these loud protesters....

Wait and see how many people turn out for the Coronation, these stupid few who have nothing better to do will not be noticed!

No doubt MI5 have done background checks and have any risks identified under surveillance. Pity sky news does not show the thousands lining the streets cheering loudly . Only concentrating on the dozen unwashed.

Tax payers as all adults are wether direct or indirect taxation pay for the Royal Family. ALL of them are entitled to be heard. Anything else like the suppresion of these people as some Royalists suggest...... is a bit North Korea 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm gonna miss it 🤷

I’ll lay odds every one of them is unemployed and on benefits!!

The Queen was a force for good, but Charles is WEF all the way.

NotMyKing AbolishTheMonarchy Scroungers

JulietB270880 Good on them.

I guess they had no jobs to go to? I'm no fan of the king but why waste your time on this pointless protest?

I would love him to shout back, thanks for my up keep though 🤣🤭

NotMyKing NotMyQueen NotMyHorse Con_A_Nation

But he is

Who is funding this group ? Time to investigate

This is just a sad case of people having nothing better to do and their lives being so meaningless they have make others as miserable as them

Unless you are visiting the country he is most definitely your king 😂

Are these the same people who didn’t have Boris as their Prime Minister?

DanielaNadj Would be good to have the right to vote for the head of state in a “democracy”.

This is not democracy

Jokes on them because he is their King 😂 fucking 🤡 the lot of them.

Get a job.

But, urgh, hmmm he is.

If he’s not your King, why even bother to turn up..?

But when England play a World Cup game there’ll sing god save the king! 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

Great

So what ya clowns!

Bless them. For protesting traitors, they’re quite harmless - not charming, they’re a bit too creepy for that - but harmless. I’m sure they’ll have fun coordinating their little yellow posters to get the fullest exposure they can, while the rest of us cheer our King and Queen.

Rent a mob with nothing better to do. Obviously stop oil or climate change weren’t doing a protest that day!

This is a small group of people, around a dozen, who are now aiming to turn up to every royal event with garish signs and loud speakers. The same people. This is not news. Stop giving them attention.

Yup! I'll be there shouting it! Keep your eyes open for me

DanielaNadj A small number of unemployed socialist losers holding signs, amongst a crowd of thousands.

Good the royal arms dealers... sorry 'family' can bugger off.

MyDukeandI AbolishTheMonarchy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

If I was there king I would send them to the Kongo

Sky Anti Royalist Anti British Filth

At least they contributed to the economy by travelling there to whinge

Absolutely...no one likes faux moralistic pious adulterers. Poor Diana.....

Dear sky news. Thousands of people turn up to cheer on the King, and all you can report on is 30 unwashed wasters exercising their right to freedom of speech. Stop stirring the nest and let us in the real just get on, be it if we agree or disagree we still get on.

That’s fine not your King so what are you protesting about. There’s more people want him then a few of you people, clowns

Their supporters couldn’t be there because we were all at work which left the smelly tramps to show up waving their silly banners throw some deodorant at them they’ll soon clear off

Ignoramuses who have no idea what the Royal Family actually bring to this country

Yeah all 50 of em 🤡🤡😂

Not my Queen

Do traitors still face the death penalty? Just asking!

SweatyNonce Adultery Racism NotMyKing But let's pretend it's not weird for the Coronation

Let the boos carry on. karma for destroying Diana’s life that was cut short so that Rottweiler can be queen

Send these scum to a republic. North Korea perhaps.

God save the King 👑🇬🇧

All of King Charlie's Dutchy of Cornwall 1£billiin Estate Is exempt exempt from the freedom of information act. Our rigged parliament allows this Pays no tax Think about that as you munch on your foodbank sardines on toast

Yeah…the same 12 ones that stalk the king up and down the country…

How is that news. Divisive media again over a few people.

deport them

Nothing better to do. How sad

Sadly, If you live in the UK, he is. Suck it up whingers. If you don’t like it, emigrate

Good he is a cheat and ruined a beautiful young women’s life for what? That horse

Did they also chant 'Not my Queen'? Fk!n losers

Imagine worshipping a family of pompus inbreds who wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

Once Brexit is fully done and we are over the damage from lockdowns we need to have a referendum on this subject.

Jobless freaks

To be honest....these stinking, far-left, ingrates can f*ck off to another country if they're not happy. Rule Britannia.....GOD SAVE THE KING !🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Not my Queen is my chant

Well who voted for him

True and camilla is NO QUEEN. Abolish the monarchy!

Why don’t these pricks grow up

What a waste of time, he quite clearly is and that’s not going to change

But did they throw tampons at King Charles and his Concubine? We only interested when they start throwing tampons.

Ffs 30 people 🙄

Yeah yeah so they keep saying ...boring

If he’s not there king why do they keep tipping up to every Fn gig

Prats.

Seeing the sort of clowns people vote for, maybe its time to go back to absolute monachy.

Curious why protest about it.....just don't go simples.

Long live the King! 😉

Cheaters

Why give them airtime nobody cares about them people

Wasn’t aware there was a public vote for the next King to be honest, must’ve missed it.

Long live the King! 👑🇬🇧🇨🇦

Hooray! We don't need a king it's ridiculous

We need a french approach to the monarchy

Yeah all 15 of them were really loud 🙄

If he's not your king ....then why not stay at home? There are plenty of things /people I don't support, but waving a banner about it seems utterly pointless

Wastes of space.

We need more of this, most people couldn't care less about the monarchy. It needs to be abolished

Why the media does not present the protests… videos…

Bunch of mugs

Was a protestor using a mehaphone? He who shouts his view thinks he has won.

If I didn't like something or someone..I'd find something constructive to do with my time, instead of heckling someone that couldn't give a flying f...

Yeah, but he is.

If it’s not Charles it must be Mark markking

Not your king fair enough, everyone has an opinion but ya lives must be sad if go n waste time to shout it at him.. fcuk that, better things to do...

Love to see it

What sad little people, obviously have nothing better to do.

Meanwhile in France there's some proper protests going on

But he is…

Regardless as to your feelings about the monarchy, you have to recognise the money in tourism the royals bring. Money, I dare say, this economy desperately needs.

They do realize he is?

Well - be honest - we are all thinking it.

If he's not there king then pissoff

The monarchy will be abolished within the next few decades. This could be the last king

Fair play

Yeah he is.

Karma just seems to be following these two everywhere… odd that 🤔😂

Well done protesters

'Unmissable'. Really objective there! All polls say most people couldn't care less

As a monarchist, I strangely find myself in agreement with them👍

AbolishTheMonarchy

Wow 30 protesters what a protest lol

He’s our King unless we democratically decide otherwise through an Act of parliament. Those who claim he’s not, are somewhat disconnected from reality.

How sad do you have to be to turn up somewhere just to shout abuse at another that they don’t want any claim too. Once again, if you live here, yes he is!

What difference will it make to their lives if the monarchy was scrapped next week ? Some people just protest for something to do. 😂😂

If you're from the UK then sorry, he is your King. NOT to MY liKING would be more correct

The royals need to do more to keep relevant especially when the new right are as anti establishment as the traditional left.

He probably isn't their King. They're probably a load of foreign freeloaders doing the shouting.

He should have chucked some soap at them.

I like the way the picture was cut so that most of them say my king. I wonder who was funding this protest? It's boring now.

That one again. Thought he had been locked up, poor sod must have mental issues.

Snowflake central

Plonkers!

Well he is your king whether you like it or not, that’s not how monarchy works…

Those fake Englishmen should remember just who really OWNs the bulk of the country. The land and subsoil rights. Military. Government buildings. The Tower of London is private property held in trust Rothschild. Et Al and the Windsors.

About ten and that’s News won’t be long before all your viewers are at GB news .

Some have zero idea of how to behave in a dignified manner these people are a joke

Well done them 👍

And the woke Sky news was there to film them. Surprised Kay wasn't interviewing them.

Why does King Charles give out money on Maundy Thursday?The Maundy Service will see the King distribute special 'Maundy money' to local pensioners with the first royal recorded distribution dating back to 1210. I like the lady, she does good work. What perturbs me is the dropping of the word, 'Consort.' I know the word means, 'not of Royal birth.' The word, 'Consort,' has been used for a long time. So why has it been changed now?
