who are these people

**kilted redleg** · 14th July 23, 08:17 AM

While watching several videos on YouTube showing the arrival of HM king Charles III and Queen Consort Camila there seems to be large group of people who chant "not my king." Who are these people ? I know there is a part of the UK populace who do not want the monarchy at all, or are these the people who hold a grudge against the king for what happened to princess Dianna or do they just have a general dislike for HM ? I know the rabble will have the answer. Thanks

I think this could get very political very quickly. Perhaps better to search for your answers elsewhere than XMarks. Probably wise to just leave this topic alone. Consider this a warning shot across the bow.

The curiosity is understandable, but very wise words from Father Bill.

I really don’t think this group is a political entity at all. They are just a very vociferous minority of a minority who just happens not to like the King for whatever reason. As is their right, however their behaviour leaves rather a lot to be desired.

Our world has so many things to protest about, things that kill people, things that damage our planet, and they chose this?

First let me thank everyone for their kindness in answering my inquiry. Sometimes I revert back to my former life as a cop and ask questions "because I wanna know." Thanks to Fr. Bill for the sage advice and kindness in direction, also thanks to Peter for the direction of looking up the group. Jock Scot - "much to be desired" - a kindness undeserved and to fellow piper OC Richard nail on the head "with all that happens in the world, this person HM annoys you that much." Perhaps the UK should invoke that old US axiom "IF THIS ANNOYS THAT MUCH, THEN LEAVE."
Again thanks Fr. Bill my intent was not to kick the hornets nest I apologize.
