Anti-monarchists are expected to stage large-scale protests in London during the coronation of King Charles III, despite warnings from authorities and a controversial new law.
Charles and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, will be coronated side-by-side at Westminster Abbey. The new sovereign and consort will travel from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the diamond jubilee state coach as part of the "king's procession" before returning to the palace in the gold state coach after their crowning as part of the "coronation procession.
"We have had two meetings with the Met police and numerous phone conversations. They have repeatedly said they have no concerns about Republic's plans," the group's CEO, Graham Smith, said in aon Wednesday. "It is a mystery why the Home Office thought it was necessary to send us an anonymous letter that could be interpreted as intimidation."
Anti-monarchy protestors from the pressure group Republic wave 'Not My King' banners ahead of the arrival of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort at the Royal Maundy Service at York Minster on April 6, 2023 in York, England.United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk has urged the U.K. government to reverse the "deeply troubling" legislation.
"It is telling that Charles, who has had no problem speaking up on various issues, has chosen not to defend democratic rights when they are being threatened in his name," Smith added. "Perhaps he might make it clear that he believes in the right to protest."
