Monarchy was attacked from left, religious, and modernist quarters alike

Evidence

The institution of kingship or, more specifically, the use of royal titles, was under attack from various sides: by liberals and leftists who saw a republican form of government as more in accord with their ideologies and aspirations; by Muslim fundamentalists who had revived the tradition of Islamic condemnation of royal pomp and titulature; and more generally by those who felt that monarchy was old-fashioned and republics were modern and progressive. — Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 542
