King Charles faces protesters holding ‘Not my king’ signs at event
King Charles III appeared unfazed on Thursday during an official visit to Buckinghamshire when a small group of protesters held up signs that said “Not my king.”
The monarch arrived in his Rolls-Royce to a crowd of mostly well-wishers in Milton Keynes to mark its new designation as a city following Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee last summer.
The king shook hands and spoke with people in the crowd near the Church of Christ the Cornerstone, a video taken by Heart News East showed. Chants of “God save the king” could also be heard.
The near two dozen reported protesters were from a group called Republic, which plans to also protest at his coronation in May, according to People magazine.
