Protest announced against King Charles in Wales

-

As of Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the anti-monarchy group Republic has announced a major protest against King Charles III scheduled for tomorrow, Maundy Thursday (April 2, 2026), in St. Asaph, Wales.

The protest is a direct response to the ongoing scandal involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his February 19 arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

1. The St. Asaph "Maundy Thursday" Protest

The demonstration will take place as the King and Queen Camilla attend the Royal Maundy Service at St.   Asaph Cathedral.

  • The Call to Action: Republic is organizing the event to demand accountability regarding what senior royals knew about Andrew's links to Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Key Question: Protesters plan to hold placards with the slogan "What did you know?"—a question directed at King Charles and Prince William concerning their alleged "complicity" and "cover-up" of Andrew’s activities.

  • Timing: The protest is set to begin at 9:30 AM, ahead of the royals' expected arrival at 11:00 AM.   Republic's CEO, Graham Smith, stated that the group will "follow them everywhere" to ensure the question of accountability is not dodged.

2. The Catalyst: Andrew’s February Arrest

The anger fueling this protest stems from the dramatic legal developments of early 2026:

  • The Arrest: Andrew was arrested on February 18, 2026, following a crime report submitted by Republic. This followed the January 30 release of millions of Epstein-related documents.

  • The Allegations: The "Epstein Files" reportedly included emails showing Andrew forwarded confidential government reports (from his time as a trade envoy) to Epstein.

  • The King's Stance: King Charles has officially stated that "the law must take its course" and has stripped Andrew of his "Prince" title and HRH style, but Republic argues that the institution as a whole still owes the public a full explanation of their past protection of the Duke.


3. "Cratering" Support for the Monarchy

Republic has used the announcement of the Wales protest to highlight what they claim is a historic low in royal popularity:

  • Poll Numbers: The group claims that support for the monarchy has now fallen below 50%, a statistic they describe as "winning."

  • The "No Kings" Movement: This protest follows a massive "No Kings" demonstration in the United States on March 28, which Republic describes as a global wave of momentum ahead of their upcoming "Republic Day" on May 9.

Security Concerns

Police in North Wales are reportedly on high alert for the event. While Republic insists their protests are "good-natured and fun," the recent climate surrounding the royal family has been increasingly volatile. Protesters at the Commonwealth Day service in London earlier this month were noted for their "aggressive questioning" of the King, and authorities are keen to avoid a repeat of the "hostile" atmosphere during a sacred religious service.

Prince Andrew’s ‘Rude’ Comment About Princess Kate That ‘Sent William Over the Edge’

A Family Rift Reignited Behind Palace Doors Tensions within the royal family are nothing new, but one incident involving Prince Andrew and Princess Kate reportedly left Prince William furious — and drove yet another wedge between the already fractured family. According to royal insiders, Andrew once made a rude and dismissive comment about the Princess of Wales that “sent William over the edge,” deepening the quiet resentment that has long simmered between the two men. The Comment That Sparked Outrage The exact remark has not been officially confirmed, but palace sources allege that Andrew’s tone and attitude toward Kate during a private family gathering were “deeply disrespectful.” A royal insider revealed, “Andrew made a comment that was not only rude but incredibly inappropriate given Kate’s status and reputation. William was livid. He sees his wife as the foundation of his family and the future Queen — and any slight against her is a slight against him.” The remark re...

A Stroll, A Smile, and A Splash of Tweed: The Royal Walkabout Done Properly

 A Stroll, A Smile, and A Splash of Tweed: The Royal Walkabout Done Properly here they were – two of Britain’s most famous walkers. No, not ramblers from the Lake District, but the Duke and Duchess themselves, out for what looked like a brisk countryside strut. Dressed like they’d just stepped out of a catalogue called Country Chic for People Who Don’t Actually Muck Out Stables , they managed to look both casual and royally polished. Prince William sported a sturdy khaki jacket with more pockets than a camping shop. Perfect for storing royal essentials: car keys, a phone, and perhaps a spare crown jewel or two (just in case). Kate, meanwhile, brought her A-game in a quilted number that whispered, “I can both open a village fête and win at clay pigeon shooting – all before lunch.” The pair wore red poppies pinned to their coats – a subtle reminder that while they might be smiling and chatting, their outing carried meaning and respect. And yet, one couldn’t help noticing that their...
