As the King prepares for his tour, protests are being organized in key Australian cities
King Charles III is set to embark on an autumn tour to Australia and Samoa from October 18 to 26, with stops in Sydney and Canberra, as well as a state visit to Samoa. However, as the King prepares for this significant trip, he has received a fresh warning from anti-monarchy campaigners.
Graham Smith, the CEO of Republic, an anti-monarchy group, has announced plans for protests and events during Charles’s visit. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Smith posted a photo with the caption, "I’m in Melbourne, getting ready for Charles’s Australia visit. I’m organising events and protests in Sydney and Canberra."
Republic also released a statement confirming their presence in Australia, stating that their campaign to abolish the monarchy will include public protests during the royal tour.
Despite the planned demonstrations, King Charles and Queen Camilla will carry out their engagements, including the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, as they continue their royal duties in the region.
