They also posted a tweet doubling down on their feelings about the monarchy as they shared a graphic reading: 'Not My King' and wrote: 'Freedom of speech'.

They wrote: 'FYI we're Irish, the country that has been oppressed historically by the monarchy! Please study your history! We haven't said anything but the facts!'
The pair received messages of support from their fans in the wake of the threats, with one user writing: 'It's so ridiculous how grown-up people talk and deal with you i can't understand people you're both such great and kind people'.

They followed up with a second tweet which read: 'King Charles should hand back the six Irish counties on his visit to Northern Ireland – No war! Just words! It's time,'
The brothers were inundated with responses from the public who were unimpressed with their stance.
One follower wrote: 'Any chance you two could just be quiet? It is not Ireland's place to call for the abolishment of the monarchy of another country. What about Andorra, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden?'
