Daniel Radcliffe might’ve spent years waving a wand and vanquishing dark forces on screen, but he’s got zero magic left for British royalty. TheHarry Potterstar’s alleged bold stance on the monarchy makes it clear he’s not buying into the fairy tale.
Radcliffe, who calls himself a Republican, sees the royals as a symbol of everything holding the UK back. For him, they’re relics of a system he just can’t back, making him one of the few big British celebs willing to break tradition and say it out loud.
Daniel Radcliffe Speaks Out Against the Royal Family, Declares Himself a Republican
Daniel Radcliffeisn’t just the guy who madeHarry Pottera global phenomenon—he’s got a serious take on the British royal family. In a no-holds-barred interview withThe Daily Beast, he made it clear: he’s a republican. Radcliffe alluded,
Not at all. I am definitely a republican in the British sense of the word. I just don’t see the use of the monarchy, though I’m a fierce patriot. I’m proud, proud, proud of being English, but I think the monarchy symbolizes a lot of what was wrong with the country.
For Radcliffe, the monarchy represents everything that’s wrong with the country. This isn’t new. Anti-royal vibes have been around for centuries. It goes all the way back to Oliver Cromwell chopping off King Charles I’s head in the 1600s. Even legends likeJohn Lennonprotested against the royals.
It’s not just about the crown, either. Radcliffe called outPrince Harry’s infamous Nazi costume debacle, sharing how personal it was to him. He was clearly not impressed by the royal misstep:
My dad is Northern Irish and my mum is Jewish…That’s working blood. Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.
But don’t get it twisted—Daniel Radcliffe’s still proud to be English. He’s just not about the outdated, old-school monarchy. For him, it’s all about building a future that doesn’t rely on the past.
