Breaking News: Anti-monarchy protestors greet King Charles and Queen Camilla with three-word chant….See More

Charles and Camilla have been met by a group of anti-monarchy protestors wielding large yellow ‘not my King’ placards.

King Charles and Queen Camilla were met by a group of anti-monarchy demonstrators on their visit to Middlesbrough today.

The royal couple were greeted by Republic’s large yellow placards reading “Not My King” – with protestors chanting the phrase as they arrived.

Flags with slogans reading “abolish the monarchy” were also seen being held by the crowds who wished to share their views.

Anti-monarchy demonstrators were seen in the Centre Square in the town holding the large yellow signs.

It is the first time a monarch has visited the town in the northeast since 1993 and members of the public had been gathering in the town for most of the morning from around 11.20am.

On the Republic group’s X page, earlier today, they shared an image of setting up for the King and Queen’s arrival.

However, Middlesbrough Mayor, Chris Cooke, previously said it was “wonderful news” for the town, commenting on their visit. Ahead of the visit, he said: “This is wonderful news for our town and I know people will be very excited to welcome the King and Queen.”

The royal couple participated in a number of engagements, including speaking to Middlesbrough Environment City charity workers who promote healthy and sustainable living through community action and events.

They also spoke to representatives from Repod Doctors, an initiative helping medical practitioners who have come to the UK as refugees to transition into the NHS.
