Trooping the colour booing

President ! president ! president - I demand a president

You can have a political objection to an institution, sure, but absolutely nobody "deserves" to be booed at in public, adult or child.
Not to mention that booing people is just incredibly juvenile!

Well if you think booing and behaving like a toddler is being grown up, you do you. They have a right to protest but shouting not my king is going to change nothing. Gives the great unwashed a day out I suppose.

Didn't the anti monarchy lot get booed by the crowd though?? There are always many tens of thousands of supporters, tourists etc, to about 10 anti monarchists. The issue is, yes you can protest, but actually most people like the pomp and ceremony and just want to have a nice day out, without some loud and annoying protesters spoiling the event. Most people just wish they would piss off, the protesters, not the monarchy.

How are anti-monarchists "living in the past"?

People saying the children don't benefit at all must be on another planet. They have been born with life long financial security - I think that's a pretty big benefit. They'll receive the best medical care, education etc. Yes there are downsides to being in the public eye and having expectations along with being royal, but many would say that's worth it.

"Never mentally grown"? That's your best argument? Ok then - you do you, but people have the right to protest and old institutions should change, grow or be eliminated over time. That's how thinking people do things . Which , ironically given your post, is growth.

It’s truly shocking when you see how wealthy Charles and William are. It’s not right.

I'm sure the kids don't give a flying fuck and probably laugh about it over their banquet that evening, ripping the shit out of the disgusting peasants who dare look upon them.

Well booing at kids is pretty shit so I'd find some other way

There are not thousands of grave and favour homes. Nor are there hundreds of hangers on.

There are 11 working royals who have access to properties which are owned and managed by the crown estate, which has to balance its own budget. It contributed £1.1 billion in profit to the treasury in 2024. Of this, around £87 million goes back to the sovereign.

There are a handful of non working royals who still have property. The most recent reports noted that Beatrice and Eugenie have access to a property, I assume the outcry means this incredibly minor effect on the budget will be stripped from them, because of course punishing them for their father’s heinous acts is the right thing to do. The other non working royals in paid for apartments are close relatives of the late Queen, themselves in their 80s and 90s, but I suppose you want them evicted to save a few quid?

Anyone shouting not my King/Prime Minister has never mentally grown. I hardly think these clowns are the people to scrutnise - from the safety of crowds. All they had to do was vote with their feet but that wouldn't be attention seeking enough. Instead, they coose to boo and jeer in front of children. Classy.

I enjoy the royal family. The whole going out to boo seems a bit odd to me.

Thankfully with each generation that statistic is changing and more are in favour of abolishing them

Nothing silly about not wanting to bankroll a bunch of entitled old parasites or pretend theres anything interesting about them.

Everything silly about feeling its appropriate to bow to anyone, let alone those old thick inbred pretend celebs, because of who they were supposedly born as.

I am sure it's upsetting as a mother to see this around her children. But this is an institution who cynically use children and family events to distract from other wrong doing. So that's on them. I don't think growing up royal or being in training is fair or healthy for the children, despite their privileges. And the idea that people are entitled to the wealth they derive from public support is abhorrent. The RF needs more scrutiny, not more forelock tugging and obedience.

It’s incredibly bad to boo at children. And why? What is it that Kate and her kids have done that deserves booing? Given her battle with cancer, I think its crass and undeserved, and I’m appalled that people behave like this. She’s not a politician and has no real power so what exactly is the point?

I find it strange to go to an event like that just to boo at someone. I don't agree with footballers salaries doesn't mean I stand outside stadiums booing at them.

Literally no one is jealous, they are annoyed by the monarchy being outdated, old fashioned and unelected . And no they dont bring in money, no one is going to stop visiting Buckingham Palace etc etc.

The monarchy is NOT a 'rotten institution' - you really shouldn't let your jealousy cloud your thoughts. I think they are great, and Saturday's parade just showed how good this country is at pageantry and events like these. Just look at how few people were 'protesting' compared with the huge, cheering crowds approaching Buckingham Palace!

No, it isn't acceptable, especially at 3 young children.

If those doing it don't like the monarchy, there are plenty of other ways they could have spent their Saturday afternoon than going to see them.

He still does and is very grounded as a person!

Kate just looked confused 😁 do think they are significantly thinning out the.monarchy and think this is the way to.go rather than deleting years of history.

That coach they were in was silly though a.nice open top car would have been better.

The.anti monarchists are a small minority and a.bit silly.

I think this is a bit OTT. Most young kids these days don't just 'decide to visit' a friends' house, their parents arrange playdates - exactly the same as the royal kids.

You could say the same about kids born into poverty, for example, many of whom don't get the opportunity to travel or learn an instrument or participate in everything they'd like to do. Even 'average' kids can't afford to do expensive hobbies like sailing, racing, etc.

The RF can do anything they want. They could choose to study abroad if they wanted more anonymity, and when they are older they could even choose to do a Harry and opt out completely if they wanted.

Other than George, the other two could have very normal, albeit financially comfortable lives - realistically would your average person on the street know the names of Princess Margaret's kids and grandkids, or even Prince Edward's kids? That's the level Charlotte and Louis' families will be in thirty years.

I personally would prefer there to not being a monarchy but my view of booing at TtC is the same as anything else - event/TV show/band - if you're not interested in it, don't go! Going just to piss on the chips of everyone around you by telling them how rubbish the thing they like is and how much of a moral superior being with better taste you are for not liking it is just a bit pathetic, more so when you bring kids into it.
