King Charles in Milton Keynes
Many in the crowd greeted the King with cheers as he arrived in Milton Keynes.
However, Charles also faced boos among the cheers seemingly coming from the protestors.
That is so immature. Happy to see most greeted the King.
According to reports, Charles went over to shake hands with supporters waving Union Jack flags.
He then smiled before entering the Church of Christ the Cornerstone to attend a reception of local community members and town officials.
Royal correspondent Richard Palmer shared clips of the moment on Twitter.
In the footage, the protestors held up big yellow signs with the words “not my King” across them.
Richard wrote: “The King is greeted by a crowd of well-wishers and around republican protestors in Milton Keynes.”
Royal fans quickly shared their thoughts as one person replied: “That is so immature. Happy to see most greeted the King.”
Another wrote: “#KingCharlesIII is always a big deal. Love the energy in the crowds.”
Someone else added: “Well Charles is their King… if they are British then Britain has a King. Long live The King.”
Charles’ visit comes after Buckingham Palace confirmed that Camilla, the Queen Consort, has Covid-19.
She cancelled a visit to the West Midlands on Tuesday after suffering from a “seasonal” illness.
Following the initial news on Monday, the Palace later confirmed Camilla had tested positive for Covid-19.
A statement said: “After suffering the symptoms of a cold, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has tested positive for the COVID virus.
“With regret, she has therefore cancelled all her public engagements for this week and sends her sincere apologies to those who had been due to attend them.”
