"Protestors Warn of Growing Apathy Towards King Charles and Royal Family"

King Charles is facing increased anti-monarchy protests from the group Republic, with signs reading "Not My King." Experts believe the monarch needs a new strategy quickly before his coronation, as the crown has been dented and tarnished by decades of scandal and controversy. Republic plans to protest the coronation on May 6, calling for the monarchy to be abolished and replaced with an elected, democratic head of state. While it is unlikely that Charles will acknowledge the hecklers, he can't ignore the larger conversations taking place within the Commonwealth realms. The younger royals still play a vital role in shoring up the monarchy's popularity, and that's why it's such a pity that Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their young family are no longer part of the equation.

"Growing Apathy and Protests Against King Charles III Spark Concern Among Experts"

Anti-monarchy groups are warning King Charles III and Prince William about the growing apathy towards the royal family, with protests becoming more frequent. While the palace has "little worry" about opposition, anti-royalist leader Graham Smith believes that the royals will struggle to re-engage the indifferent, as there is no reason for people to be interested in them more than any other celebrity family. The #NoMoreRoyals Twitter account has also appeared, creating a manifesto that connects the institution to issues of identity, social justice, and democratic reform.
