Prince William and Kate Middleton' children have been dragged into new controversy by anti-monarchy group. The Prince and Princess of Wales' social media accounts shared an adorable picture of the two young royals, showing them watching England vs Spain Euro final 2024 at home. The picture, that made headlines, was captioned: "England, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old.
Congratulations to Spain. W & C". The Princess of Wales took the photograph - showing Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, in England tops with their names and ages on the back of the shirts - after attending Wimbledon with Charlotte earlier in the day.
A British broadcaster reported on the picture and positioned the story in a prominent place on their website homepage. However, Republic took issues with the importance given to the story and expressed anger over the coverage in a social media post. Reacting to the coverage of the photo by the British mainstream media, anti-monarchy group Republic hit out at the broadcaster's coverage of the young royals.
The anti-monarchy group wrote: "Jesus, @BBCNews - is this really a front-page, breaking news story? Kids watching football? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy". Republic also slammed future King William's decision of travelling to Germany for attending the Euro 2024 final, saying: "William will put down his trip to the Euros Final as a 'work engagement'. Nonsense.
Why should he be paid for watching it last night? We weren.
