Aboriginal singer Miss Kaninna disturbs with appalling act aimed at the King outside Buckingham Palace - as Lidia Thorpe stages her own stunt
An Aboriginal artist has pretended to be strung up with a noose in front of Buckingham Palace while singing a song about killing the King - as Australian senator Lidia Thorpe performed her own one-woman stunt in the same spot.
Miss Kaninna, whose real name is Kaninna Langford, staged an impromptu performance of her song 'Pinnacle B****' outside the royal residence in the heart of London this week.
'And I'm running down these streets / Screaming, f*** the police,' she sung as a British police officer walked past in the background, oblivious.
While miming a nose around her neck, she added: 'If I ever met the king/ Break his neck with a string'.
The short clip ended with Miss Kaninna giving both fingers to the King's administrative headquarters.
'Flew all the way to the UK to play my song in front of Buckingham Palace,' she captioned the post.
'YOUR NOT MY KING !! #Alwayswasalwayswillbe #Aboriginal #Landback #thecolonywillfall.'
Miss Kaninnna, a Yorta Yorta, Djadja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman who grew up on Bruny Island off Tasmania's south coast, released her self-titled debut EP in September 2024.
She became the first independent Aboriginal woman to ever be nominated for a debut single at the ARIA awards that same year.
Daily Mail Australia approached Miss Kaninna's management company for comment.
This publication reported on Wednesday that fellow King-protester Senator Lidia Thorpe is also in London this week.
Senator Thorpe also staged her own mini-protest outside the gates of Buckingham Palace.
Holding an Aboriginal flag and wearing a 'Blak Sovereign Movement' t-shirt, she also swore at the royal residence.
'Dropped by to collect all the stuff this lot stole, but Charlie wasn't in,' she captioned the pictures.
The independent senator made global headlines last year when she heckled the King and Queen during their state visit Down Under.
'Give us what you stole from us! Our bones, our skulls our babies, our people!' she screamed at the bemused monarchs.
'You destroyed our land. Give us a treaty! We want a treaty in this country! You are a genocidialist [sic]!' Thorpe said.
A spokesperson for the former Greens Senator said she was in the UK attending a conference.
Thorpe's antipathy for the King certainly has not diminished.
Last week, on the King's Birthday long weekend, she posted this cheerful message: 'I would normally give presents to someone on their birthday but I think you owe us enough.
'It's time for you to start giving land back and everything else you stole from us.'
'So I'm not wishing you a happy birthday. Can you get it, like, we celebrate a public holiday because of some King that lives on the other side of the world.'
'You are not sovereign. You are not our King - and f*** the colony.'
Thorpe's protest sparked a heated debate.
'All hail Queen Senator Thorpe. Thanks for always being the ultimate baddie. We love you,' someone wrote.
Another said: 'Yas, show Charles how's is done Sen Thorpe.'
But there were several comments telling the senator to 'grow up'.

Millions of Freeview watchers hit by big Channel 4 change and must re-scan TV boxes to keep popular channel
MILLIONS of Freeview watchers have been hit by a big channel change as viewers are urged to re-scan their TV boxes. Channel 4 has boosted Freeview coverage for one of its channels this month, meaning you'll need to retune to continue watching. As part of Freeview's monthly channel update, 4seven transitioned to a new frequency as of Wednesday 18 June. This is because of an important technical change to the way the Channel 4 offshoot channel is broadcast on Freeview. It will give more Freeview users access to the channel at a time when 4seven is increasingly used as an overspill for live events. 4seven has recently become the home of a selected number of men's European Championship U21 games, including Netherlands v Ukraine and Slovenia v Czechia. They have previously broadcast coverage of the Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies. But for the time being, 4seven is broadcasting on both new and old frequencies. At the end of this transition period, the old copy of 4seven will carry a retune caption. But you can retune today to ensure continued reception of 4seven on channel 49. Following your retune, you should see 4seven on channel 49 and the old copy of 4seven on channel 790. What's better is the channel now has universal coverage on Freeview. It's now available to all viewers in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man in addition to UK viewers who can only receive a reduce Freeview channel line-up. If you're a viewer who only receives around 20 basic Freeview channels at your address, you can retune to add 4seven to channel 49. It's a big bonus to some viewers as some remote locations with reduced access to Freeview are also affected by poor internet speeds meaning they can't stream TV either. This follows a reconfiguration of the frequency that carries the main Channel 4 service on Freeview, meaning the 4seven signal can now be aired alongside its parent channel. Kay Burley joins This Morning in TV return after departure from Sky News It's not the only Freeview change seen this month either. Just last week it was announced that Rewind TV is now on channel 81. It has swapped places with Blaze +1 and is now the next-door channel to the vintage Talking Pictures channel. There's also a new shopping channel with Must Have Ideas setting up shop on channel 96. The service was previously exclusive to satellite TV such as Sky and on YouTube but a retune will now add the channel to your service. Millions of Freeview watchers can also enjoy three new channels this month. Starting from this week, viewers will be able to tune into a number of channels including ITV Quiz, a fresh channel dedicated to quizzes.
