The Royal Family has shared a major update on King Charles following his appearance at the opening of the expanded Welsh Parliament, where protesters chanted “not my King” and called for the abolition of the monarchy.
Taking to Instagram account on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace dropped the exclusive development about the British Monarch and Queen Camilla as they attend the ceremonial opening of the Seventh Senedd in Cardiff, Wales.
Sharing the exclusive snaps from the event, the Palace penned the caption, “The King and Queen have joined Members of the Senedd, community representatives and young people from across Wales for the Ceremonial Opening of the Seventh Senedd in Cardiff.”
The palace added, “The day featured poetry, music and meetings with young people and organisations from across Wales.”
King Charles III attended the opening of the expanded Welsh legislature for the first time as monarch, having attended every Senedd opening since 1999 as Prince of Wales.
Queen Camilla and senior Welsh officials joined him at the opening.
As Charles and Camilla met Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Presiding Officer Huw Irranca-Davies outside Parliament, protesters shouted “not my King” and called for the Crown to be abolished.
Placards carried similar anti-monarchy messages, and police arrested one man on suspicion of violating conditions under Section 14 of the Public Order Act.
The proceedings began with a procession of Senedd Members, accompanied by two Welsh Youth Parliament representatives and a ceremonial escort from the Welsh Guards Corps of Drums.
King Charles also spoke alongside Llywydd Huw Irranca-Davies MS and First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth MS.
