Ah machang, you saw that too? It's a group of anti-monarchy activists in UK, they call themselves Republic. Basically they protest every year during certain royal events, saying abolish the monarchy and make an elected head of state instead. This time they did it outside Buckingham Palace with "No Kings" signs after King Charles became king. _(In plain English: This is a protest by UK republicans who want to end the monarchy and have an elected president. They've been doing this for years, especially during big royal occasions.)_

Oh bro, that "No Kings" protest outside Buckingham Palace was basically some activists from the group *Republic* calling for an end to the monarchy. They were protesting during the King's official birthday parade, saying the royal family is outdated and a waste of public money. When I was in the UK last year, I saw similar protests — it's not huge, but they're very vocal about wanting an elected head of state instead. *(In plain English: The "No Kings" protest was organised by the group Republic, demanding the abolition of the monarchy. They held it during the King's official birthday event, arguing the royal family is costly and undemocratic. Not a massive movement, but they're passionate about it.)*
