It has not been all celebration, since King Charles III became Britain’s monarch. Some have been making their Republican views known by protesting.
Al Jazeera’s Neave Barker reports from London.

Free Speech is 100%, not when it is convenient or you agree.
Otherwise we are doing what tyrannical governments do. But no surprise tories can’t wait to drag us back to a Dickensian society
It’s indecent to protest during a time of mourning. Arrest all these losers begging for media attention.
And for how long this mourning will last exactly?
Those arrested in Scotland would have been arrested under Scotland’s hate crime laws.
We are not are not a REPUBLIC. REPUBLIC is full of corruption.
You can’t judge the whole country on the actions of one cop, if that were the case we would have to make the US into a huge penal colony.
Not my king either!
Best opportunity to make their voices heard. There will probably not be another opportunity to be so close to the King. I suppose he’s above reproach. 🫣🫢
You all heard it, now its a crime to write something on a sign if it offends people.
How is uk any better tgan north korea. Btw, nk also had 10 days of mourning when their dear leader passed away.
Quite mystified as to why Brits are generally so pro- Royal Family. What exactly do these people do for UK citizens other than create some tourism revenue?
brain washed
When you reject God you submit to devils
as to the title …. no it doesn’t! I’m no royalist, but a period of mourning is no time to enact this debate. It’s likely to cause division and seems to be intended to be hurtful. Just wait a month, come on …
glad there are sane people coming up to say how ridiculous a monarchy is.
Peacefully protest is part of Freedom of Speech
It’s a funeral. Imagine somebody protesting at the funeral of your grandmother, for what she represented
End the British royalty…..the British empire was just looting the colonies…
Yes and also end USA empire looting Iraq, Afghanistan, Latin America
What free speech??? The u.k doesnt have freedom of speech thats an american thing. We have never had freedom of speech, as its a dangerous thing to allow with all the dub racists
Fascism is taking hold again.
The UK needs a Republic Pride movement, like gays etc in the past anti monarchist receive a hostile reception.
Listen for anyone who thinks any western country is a democracy is under an illusion no country is truly free democracy is what the western leaders want It to be , it changes as and when they want it to be changed ! The most corrupt countries in world are western countries it’s just that they hide it well.
Yes I’m sure that Qatar, which runs Al Jazeera, is a wonderfully free and democratic place to live. Hang on, though…
Might as well move to another country if you don’t want Charles to be your King.
Same goes to people in the Commonwealth who don’t want the King to be their Head of State.
Did they actually put Mourning Queen Elizabeth 2 underneath the name and interview of the barrister who evidently ISN’T mourning a person he never knew? Weird…
“The monarchy is just a symbol!” It sure is alright, a privileged symbol that you cannot speak against or else you’ll be arrested.
Timings off but bide your time and their time will come .
King Charles did not and cannot take power.
Don’t shoot yourself in the foot with wrong statements
He is part of an Historical novelty that most British people want to keep as can be seen by the number of people attending events over the recent days. There is nothing wrong with protesting it is part of our Democratic rights but out of respect for the majority of people and the family concerned it would be better to choose a different time.
That would be the sensible thing to do. Unfortunately I think most people in the Uk don’t know the difference between a citizen and a subject. They chose to be subjects and they have to live with that. It’s sad to see thier queen pass though. I hope she’s in a better place.
Well you make a scene at the Kings coronation. Don’t act supersized if you get arrested. I’m all for freedom of speech but even you start shouting “Not my king” or Abolish the Royals. That’s completely different that’s asking for trouble. Let’s just say it doesn’t matter what you say…..The Royal family ain’t going anywhere. Also if you have a problem with people going to struggle this winter ❄️. That’s the government’s problem not the Royals. I would love you to protests outside football stadiums. Demanding players stop getting paid £millions a week to kick a ball around a field. Well people can’t pay their bills or feed their families.
Free speech should not hurt the sentiments of the majority of the country population and it’s authority….
Tell that to Rushdie
Al jazeera raises free speech concerns 🤣🤣🤣, when they r just tools of destruction in hand of qatar king. Al jazeera what wud happen to someone raising slogan against king in qatar????? Killed? Hanged? Imprisonment for life??.
The West is a big Communist lie.
Go and lobby Putin and his war machine of evil. What Britain and the Monarch did in the past is history, live in the now and put your energy into things far worse than this!
Biased news always protect terrorist
In a Monarchy, since when do subjects have a say in who is to be their King? But if England isn’t a Monarchy.. then why do they still pay so much in taxes to keep the King and Royal Family..
For Thailand’s King there is no right to offend..you get thrown in jail for that.
Bullshit
Imagine Al Jazeera talking about freedom of speech?!🤣🤣🤣 It operates from a country where there are no rights 🤪🤪
Arrested for thier own protection from the public who were paying their respect to the Queen ,Not the time to act stupid ,
Stay safe
Good on this guy, unfortunately there’s more followers in the UK than a leader .
what about qatar’s king lol . shut up AJ
These people are brave da kang can lock em up
Off with their heads!
Abolish dictatorship of any evil.
British public love being mistreated by the rich and the powerful. It was cringe to see people crying over a dead multi billionaire woman and her family who will go back to living in nice and warm palaces, meanwhile Brits are struggling with rising energy bills and cost of living.
melt that crown
Why American right-wing party is called “Republican”?
The only King I recognize is the Burger King.
These people are clued up unlike the stupid Sheeple people quickly to say ” God save the Queen or King” like sheeps.
But Prince Andrew is a blatant Paedophile just as their friend Jimmy Saville.
So why was Andrew demoted from all his ranks???
And everyone wants to take a pot shot on Meghan Markle but not Andrew discusting Sheeple out there.
They weren’t “Anti-Monarchist protesters” they were Anti-Ukraine protesters…
If they don’t like a country with a monarchy then they can go to America soon with a dictator
Not about free speech more respect for someone’s respect for the death of our queen,mother grandmother and great grandmother,how would they like it at one of there loved ones funeral
If these horrible people aren’t happy here they can leave and good ridince to the lot she should go back to China
Is UK still a democracy?
This Paul blokes a fkn 🛎 piece!
What about middle east
The few people who want a revolution or a replacement of the Monarchy have every right to their point of view. However when they can command hundreds of thousands of supporters to queue for many hours in 9 mile long queues, then and only then will they have the right and respect of the people to support them in their endeavors to change the system. QED !
compensations for unlawful detentions
Cops are sworn in to protect your rights. Yet they literally do the opposite
How many can actually be seen protesting ? A mere handful ……… that says it all really .
Hypocracy again. So really no free speech
Bullshit all this no more rights for people at all
What protest is not allowed in one’s own country shouldn’t be encouraged in another country.
Free speech ki baat b kon kr hai….chutiyon phle apne desh me toh free speech kr lo…phir dusro ko gyan dena Freedom pr
Stop violating peoples rights! The royals are awful ppl and the queen was covering up andrew’s crimes
King is no a problem now. Now Muslim islamist came out to distroy the uk…protest for that
F… the Racist Royals, their hands is full of blood killing thousands of people.
Wait till outsiders take over yr Country and u are their subjects because u all are not united. 🙄remember the enemy is watching and waiting for the weakest point of a nation. just a thought. 😪
Freedom of speech only applies to insulting religion in the UK as the British government and public in general have lost their faith in the Almighty Creator of all. Which is why we now see crimes, corruption and sins increasing in the UK.
Thought this was the UK ? Not North Korea 🇰🇵!
Democracy is only for OTHERS not for ROYLTY
Foolish people, in short dictators.
Basically the UK gov is behave like China, how ironic? The pots calling the kettle black eh . 🙄. It is Alright to infringe the right of others as long it not your own. I wish more ppl will protest on gov over reach. The power belong to the ppl.
“It matters not. He is your King”. Scene from Braveheart.
Peasant: Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Long live the Monarchy The Queen will be remembered in history for her greatness unlike some of these oxygen thief’s 🏴
There’s a difference between ‘Free Speech’ and ‘Causing Trouble’.
Freedom fighter please let me join
I’m not English. Honestly, I never understand how monarchy and democracy work together in a single country? cuz they are both opposites, aren’t they. From what i see, UK is a de jure monarchy but a de facto democracy – it’s unlike any other country in the world. i’m hoping some Brit can explain this dilemma to me!
Why don’t they find somewhere that suits them better ..there are 206 sovereign countries in the world feel free to choose one …
This a place and time they should of been sent to the tower
I am not a fan of the royal family. But if these people don’t want to have a king, why don’t they just leave the UK and go to America where they can have a president?
Why should someone have to leave there homeland?
🥱
In the west you are only allowed to be anti Russia, secondly Free speech is only allowed if you are talking in line with the woke culture
All kings & their kingdoms must be burned down starting with the vatican. A kingdom Crooked Oracles. Who believe they have a special connection to imaginary man in the sky the so called King of Kings…
the idiot king hahaha
Not my king
in reality you do not own anything in the uk and you are not free, they just let you think you are
‘Abolish monarchy…’ ‘ Not my king…’ Support from Nagaland. We too once paid taxations of this shameless rulers.
Please cover the protests of Islamists in the streets of Birmingham.
Shut up or f@@k up
You are breathing thier air
Leave them to Allah he will sorts them out if they to blame
Just let her mother rest in peace if she can
💚💚❤💚💚
I am glad a barrister help with the protest, it strengthens the belief that it should not be an offence to say things and show signs👍
They need to scrap the public order act, as It is a law that works to any copper who is biased about soem subject
Tensions could have been high with the majority mourning.
There’s a time and a place. Explain how abolishing monarchy to replace it with a lying politician will benefit the British people and make there lives better?. Careful what you wish for.
Royals out!!!
Oak apple day/ May 29th – is there some way to use this day of blind loyalty to the humans who believe themselves kings and queen, to be clear on our equality?
Monarchy in XXI century is aberration. Living under a rule of inbreeded genetically inferior bunch of puppets is simply degrading for modern society.
Why are we grieving over a terrorist?
These people are stupid. Do they really want the UK to become a republic and waste billions of tax payers pounds every few years on elections and rallies, it’s just stupid.
I told people it would be controversial
I don’t know what he expected…
What you’ve done for people to dislike you is no one fault apart from your own
I really just wanna say that
Police have lost all credibility they swore an oath to we the people not corrupt self serving politicians.
Well he didn’t say that
They can move to another country. Not British.
