Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

“Not My King”: Protester Confronts British Monarch over Wealth Inequality

HeadlineSep 19, 2022

In other news about the royal family, King Charles III was confronted directly by a protester over the weekend during a stop in the Welsh city of Cardiff. The man shouted at him, “Not my king!”

Protester: “Charles, while we struggle to heat our homes, we have to pay for your parade. The taxpayer pays £100 million for you, and what for? … Not my king!”

We’ll have more on the queen and her legacy later in the program. We’ll speak to Kehinde Andrews, the U.K.’s first professor of Black studies, author of “The New Age of Empire: How Racism and Colonialism Still Rule the World”.
