"For two people that seemingly despise the monarchy, Jedward seemed pretty excited here that they performed for Her Majesty," Tweeted Abzxbennet34."Excited to perform for the monarch as and when it suits," added Jcooper1987. "They are only taking digs at the monarchy cause they got ripped the p**s out of over here whilst on X-Factor,” said MxMcoroth2.

More users are calling the pair "hypocritical" while others are claiming the singers are just involved in "one big publicity stunt".The twins, who rose to fame on The X Factor, took to Twitter last Saturday to share their opinion, as they urged King Charles III to "give the people real democracy", after he was named the new King of England.The 30-year-olds wrote: "Abolish the monarchy and give the people real democracy!"They then shared a second tweet which said: "King Charles should hand back the six Irish counties on his visit to Northern Ireland – No war!

Just words! It's time."While many Twitter users retweeted and liked the comments, others went after the pair for their opinions.Twitter user Maeve7ryn replied: "Guys your embarrassing yourselves now enough enough."Alex18K1n6: "Whoever is babysitting these two clowns needs to be reprimanded.“This is the time where 'children should be seen and not heard'."Other people seemed open to the debate, with H3nryatkins0n98 tweeting: "Don’t disagree in an ideological sense but in practice would be hard.""Money used for coronations and funerals that could go to the poor," replied TaharaMunt58.
