For over 1,000 years, England has been led by a royal family, a hereditary monarchy. But with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, is Britain's royal era over? As Charles III becomes king, anti-monarchists in the United Kingdom are more hopeful, confident, and preparing to go on the offensive.
In the last 1,000 years, there was one brief period when England was a republic, with no monarch as the head of state, ironically during the reign of the first king named Charles.
This happened around 400 years ago, in 1649, when King Charles I was convicted and executed for high treason. However, England's republican era ended after around a decade. In 1660, the monarchy was restored with Charles II as king.

The world has changed almost completely since the 1950s, when England last had a new monarch in Elizabeth II, and the debate around royalty has intensified.
Those is favour of the monarchy claim that the family signifies stability in a rapidly-changing world. The other side claims that the existence of hereditary public office is undemocratic. Aides of the royal family have described it as a "ballast" for the United Kingdom in trying times. Anti-monarchists argue that there is lack of proper oversight to stop abuse of privilege by royals.
Money is a big flashpoint, with monarchists claiming that each Briton pays just &pound;1 a year to sustain the royals. However, Republicans have accused the royals of maintaining opacity in their finances, and owning assets worth a whopping &pound;23 billion, as per a 2015 estimate by Reuters. Those in favour of the monarchy say that the royal bill is around $80 million a year. But anti-monarchists claim that the real figure is $400 million a year.
As the debate rages, popular support for the royalty has been decreasing. In 2012, 73% Britons supported a monarchical structure. In 2022, the number came down to 62%. In 2012, only 16% Britons were in favour of making the country a republic. In 2022, this number increased to 22%.
Those in favour of the monarchy are still in majority, but the accession of Charles as King may change that, according to Republic, a campaign group formed in 1983 to push for abolishing the monarchy.
Anti-monarchists are optimistic after Charles' accession because they feel that public admiration for Queen Elizabeth II helped the royals, but Charles is highly unlikely to inherit that level of respect. Republic claims that it gained over 2,000 new followers in 24 hours after the Queen's death. The group has also been making public appeals for a national debate on the future of the British monarchy.
Meanwhile, face-offs between the authorities and anti-monarchists have already begun erupting.
A man was arrested at the proclamation of Charles as King. The man, a history teacher, had shouted 'who elected him?' at the event in Oxford. Police arrested him for alleged behaviour 'likely to cause distress' in public.
Subsequently, a woman was arrested at declaration of Charles' accession in Edinburgh. The woman reportedly brandished a sign against imperialism and monarchy. Police arrested the 22-year-old for alleged 'breach of peace'.
Earlier, anti-monarchy posters had cropped up during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee fest. The Republic group had put up signs saying 'Make Elizabeth The Last'. A Reading councillor had called the billboards 'disgraceful, distasteful'.
So, what exactly do these anti-monarchists want?
Their major demands include the replacement of the King with an elected head of state. This new head of state should be independent of politicians, thus having the power to not give their assent to a law which has been passed by Parliament, but which might not be in the people's interest.
However, the legal road for the republican movement in not very clear.
Experts say that there are no clear provisions in UK law to remove royals. The UK does not have a codified Constitution, so steps to abolish the monarchy are not specified. The republican movement is depending on a referendum - hoping that overwhelming public opinion will lead to reform.
Charles is now not just king of England, but also the head of state of 14 other realms, which are countries part of the Commonwealth - a group of nations which used to be ruled by the colonial British Empire. The anti-monarchy sentiment in many of these realms is reaching boiling point.
Barbados has already taken the plunge, removing the British monarch as head of state in November 2021. In Australia, the current government is in favour of holding a referendum, and has also appointed a minister in charge of the potential transition. In Canada, around half the people want the British monarch removed as head of state, but experts say that the process is difficult.
New Zealand held a referendum in 2016 which decided to keep the UK flag a part of the New Zealand flag. But Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said that she expects the country to become a republic in her lifetime. Jamaica has already started the process of becoming a republic. The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda has announced a referendum within 3 years to decide the issue. Belize has also announced its intention to get rid of the British monarch.
The royal family has signalled that it would not put up a fight to remain a figurehead in these former colonies. In June 2022, Charles said that the decision to either remain a monarchy or become a republic is for each Commonwealth member country to make.
It remains to be seen whether the royal family would give up its privileges so gracefully if England decides to go the republic way.

Charles last king of UK? Royal family's status under threat as Queen's death emboldens republicans

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II is under medical supervision on Thursday at her Balmoral Castle residence in Scotland after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace said.
Her son and heir, Prince Charles, his wife Camilla - Duchess of Cornwall, and grandson Prince William travelled to Balmoral to be with her, according to their Clarence House and Kensington Palace offices. The 96-year-old monarch is said to be "comfortable" at Balmoral, where she has been for her summer break.
"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision,” the Buckingham Palace statement said.
"The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral," it said.
The 96-year-old monarch has been suffering from age-related mobility issues and has cut down her travels, including appointing new Prime Minister Liz Truss in Scotland earlier this week.
“The whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace this lunchtime,” Truss tweeted.
“My thoughts – and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom – are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time,” she said.
Meanwhile, House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle interrupted a debate on energy bills in Parliament to update MPs about the Queen's health.
He cut short a speech to say: "I know I speak on behalf of the entire House when I say that we send our best wishes to Her Majesty the Queen and that she and the royal family are in our thoughts and prayers at this moment.
"If there is anything else, we will update the House accordingly." The Leader of the Opposition, Labour Leader Keir Starmer, tweeted: “Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
“My thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time, and I join everyone across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery.” According to reports, the Queen had been due to hold the Privy Council meeting of senior government advisers virtually on Wednesday evening but it was decided it would be rearranged.

The storm around one of India's most famous monuments is intensifying. Days after a petition on the Taj Mahal was filed in the Allahabad High Court, a BJP MP has made a big claim.
Diya Kumari said that the land on which the Taj Mahal is built was originally owned by the erstwhile Jaipur royal family. She claimed that Shah Jahan had acquired the land in exchange for some compensation, but the Jaipur royals couldn't challenge the Mughal emperor's decision.
Kumari said, "It's good that someone has raised their voice and filed a petition. If documents are needed in the proceedings, we can provide them if the court orders."
When asked whether the Taj Mahal should be demolished, she said, "I wouldn't say that. But there should be an inquiry regarding the parts of Taj Mahal which are sealed. They should be opened to check what's there."
On May 4, another BJP leader Rajneesh Singh, had filed a petition in the Allahabad High Court. The petition sought instructions to the Archaeological Survey of India, or ASI, to open 20 locked rooms in the Taj Mahal.
The petition said that there is speculation that the locked rooms house idols of Hindu gods, and Hindu scriptures.
