I think the most direct purpose of the movement is about Trump specifically, and opposing his moves to give himself power beyond what has been traditionally allowed for presidents. There are lots of pro-capitalism libs who support no kings. However, there are strong internal currents that expand the scope to include billionaires as a class, and it is definitely a movement that includes many socialists even if it is not a "socialist movement", if that makes sense. And that faction would definitely be against all Kings, including Charles, in addition to Trump and the billionaires.
