Should protests be allowed at Windsor Castle during state events?

Protesters Project Trump-Epstein Images on Windsor Castle During State Visit

Windsor Castle is once again a focal point of both international diplomacy and controversy. During former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom, protesters projected unauthorized images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto one of the castle's towers. The act led to at least four arrests under malicious communications laws. In response, security was heightened around the castle, which has already seen increased scrutiny due to drone incidents in recent months. The protests have reignited the debate over the limits of free expression—especially at iconic royal sites like Windsor Castle during official ceremonies. While some argue these protests are vital to democratic discourse, others see them as disrespectful or disruptive to diplomatic proceedings.
