From my seat at the ground:
I heard very few boos during the silence - 3 or 4 only.
Heard almost nobody singing the national anthem but heard no boos.
Heard no boos at all or singing of Everton songs during the 70th minute.
Would have to agree with you but the silence lasted less than 30 secs think ref blew because of some isolated shouts and others hushing, EFC crowd virtually silent during the anthem though W Ham fans had a half hearted go at singing it and a half hearted response from all to the clap ( I know what I just did so no stupid comments. I am a Republican but stayed silent for what 25 secs ? so I did my part hopefully we get back to normality Tuesday, I must say I think Charles and Camilla after all this has died down will not get an easy ride from the media.
 
1. It's the Government that the real issue lies with
2. I can imagine this gives a referee with Kopite bias or pro-monarchy bias to rule against us in any 50-50 - think about that!! We often complain we're hard done to in VAR situations. What kind of position MIGHT this behaviour lead to?

or 3. Were those raising objections by nature anti-British, anti-Royalist? Or indeed did they not even realise or care that 99%+ of the crowd don't share their views?
 

It's not really about if your a royalist or not, myself didn't mind the Queen, but wouldn't lose any sleep if I went to bed and we were a republic,in the morning .
It's about respect.
You should respect someone has died, and even if you had a view on them just keep it yourself keep quite It's not hard.
It's about respect for the club who will get the stick for any bad publicity.
It about respect for your fellow fans who might want to show it even if you dont.
would you start to boo outside a church if someone you disliked died , because you would look a right knob.
Why do it at a ground in front of the national TV/press?
In modern life there is always somebody trying to be the odd one out, look at me ect.
It doesn't make you a bootlicker to have some manners and self respect.
