Royal Ambush: Pro-Palestinian Protesters Heckle King Charles During State Procession | WATCH
Pro-Palestinian activists disrupted King Charles III’s procession to the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, chanting "From the river to the sea" and shouting profanities at the royal carriage.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted parts of King Charles III’s procession to the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday, chanting the controversial slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as the monarch traveled for the State Opening of Parliament.
Video footage circulating on social media shows activists directing the chant toward the royal carriage. One protester was heard shouting "F**k King Charles." The demonstrations occurred amid tight security as the King delivered the King’s Speech outlining the government’s legislative agenda.
Republicans and other anti-monarchy groups were also present with their own placards, but the explicit Palestine-related chanting drew particular attention online.
No arrests related to the chanting have been immediately reported.
The State Opening proceeded with traditional pomp and ceremony.
