A group which wants the monarchy to be abolished has said it thinks the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee will be the ‘last hurrah’ for major royal events.
But Republic, an anti-monarchy campaign group has said such celebrations can take place ‘with or without the monarchy’.
Asked about the possibility of the Prince of Wales’ coronation taking place as a major royal event in the next few years, Mr Smith said it will not be the same as the jubilee. ‘It will be a political event,’ he said adding that the coronation will ‘trigger huge debate’ over the monarchy and is likely to be accompanied by protests.‘That conversation is going to be a very different affair.’
He said they are ‘just enjoying the weekend’ or going away – as long as their flights are not cancelled.Asked if Republic’s supporters are grateful for the long weekend, he said: ‘There is no problem with having an extra day off,’ but added: ‘We can do that with or without the monarchy.
