The protester was seen smiling and protruding his tongue whereas two officers carried him away and the gang chanted “Shame on you” and “God save the king.”
The outing was part of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s scheduled collection of visits across the United Kingdom to mark the beginning of the brand new reign. While at York, the couple visited town’s cathedral, York Minster, the place a statue of the Charles’ mom was unveiled.
Other than avoiding being pelted by breakfast, King Charles seems to be settling in his new position fairly properly. As does his spouse of 16 years, whom Queen Elizabeth wished would take the title of “Queen Consort” when Charles grew to become King in an announcement solely months earlier than her passing. The transfer was welcomed by the Royal household as there had been options Camilla would possibly use the title of “Princess Consort” on account of remaining public tensions over the tragic 1997 demise of Charle’s first spouse Princess Diana.
