Fact check: Which countries had anti-monarchy protests on June 14, 2025?

Checked on June 18, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, no countries had traditional anti-monarchy protests on June 14, 2025. Instead, the date was marked by widespread "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump's administration that took place exclusively in the United States [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6].

The protests occurred in multiple U.S. cities including:

  • Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York [1] [2]
  • Charlotte [3]
  • Fort Myers, Florida [6]

These demonstrations were anti-Trump administration protests rather than traditional anti-monarchy movements, with protesters expressing concerns over Trump's policies and authoritarianism [2]. Organizers claimed the protests attracted millions of participants [5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes the existence of anti-monarchy protests on June 14, 2025, but the "No Kings" terminology appears to be metaphorical rather than literal anti-monarchy activism. In Fort Myers, attendees expressed opposition to "a monarchy, autocracy, or plutocracy," but the primary focus was protesting the Trump administration [6].

Contrasting movements were occurring in other countries during this period:

  • Nepal experienced pro-monarchy protests in late May 2025, with royalists demanding restoration of the monarchy that was abolished 17 years earlier [7] [8]
  • A planned protest in Hamburg, Germany was scheduled for July 3, 2025, against a military parade for Trump's birthday, but this was not on June 14 [9]

The analyses reveal that powerful political organizations and activists would benefit from framing anti-Trump protests as broader anti-authoritarian movements, as this messaging could attract wider public support beyond traditional partisan lines.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a fundamental factual error by assuming anti-monarchy protests occurred on June 14, 2025. This framing could be misleading as it:

  • Mischaracterizes the nature of the protests - they were specifically anti-Trump demonstrations, not traditional anti-monarchy movements
  • Implies international scope when the protests were exclusively domestic U.S. events [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
  • Conflates metaphorical "No Kings" messaging with literal anti-monarchy activism

The question's framing could serve to minimize the specific political nature of the anti-Trump protests by presenting them as broader, less partisan anti-monarchy movements, potentially benefiting those who wish to downplay domestic political opposition to the Trump administration.
