WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Two women who bared their breasts in protest were arrested and dragged away as Britain's Prince Charles arrived for an official function Tuesday in New Zealand's capital.
The two women, described by police as taking part in "unrelated" protests, were later charged with disorderly behavior.
One woman climbed atop a wall, bared her chest and shouted "shame, shame" as Charles walked toward the City Art Gallery doorway. The woman, exposed from the waist up, was grabbed by two uniformed police officers, arrested and marched from the scene as the prince was led into the building.
In an apparent protest against the monarchy, the woman had the message "Get your colonial shame off my breasts" scrawled across her chest and stomach.
Reporters said the prince appeared to look in the woman's direction and smile as he entered the gallery.

I'm sure he would have been willing to personally wipe that off her chest.

The protesters shouted "parasites, parasites" as Charles walked through the city's Civic Square greeting some of the more than 600 people gathered to see him. The protests, the first of his five-day visit to New Zealand, caused no disruption.
The prince was on the third day of a five-day royal visit to New Zealand, a former British colony that retains Britain's monarch as head of state.
A growing republican movement wants to end the link and replace the monarch with a New Zealander. Some monarchists also oppose Charles becoming the nation's future king. |
If Charles finds Excalibur then the people will declare him King.

Some independent countries of the British Commonwealth (formerly the British Empire) have retained the Queen as their head of state. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and some Carribean countries have, and maybe some others I'm unaware of. Other countries in the Commonwealth with a less favorable remembrance of British rule are republics, such as India and South Africa. 
I think that Charles should give it a try. "King John" - has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
