Protesters waving signs saying ‘not my King’ are staging a demonstration in Milton Keynes as the monarch visits to celebrate its newly-granted city status.
Republic, a group which advocates for an elected head of state, is staging the protest in Buckinghamshire.
King Charles’s visit to the city was announced earlier this month.
Camilla was meant to be joining him but had to pull out after testing positive for Covid.
The anti-monarchy group wrote on Twitter today: ‘We’re off to Milton Keynes today, to ask the King some questions. You can join the protest at the Church of Christ Cornerstone.’

King Charles III arrives at Church of Christ the Cornerstone for a reception with members of the local community and organisations on February 16
In a short video posted to Twitter, the King flanked by his imposing security detail. can be seen arriving at The Church of Christ the Cornerstone in Milton Keynes.
As he turns the corner, he is greeted by a large crowd of people – some waving British flags.
Waving to the crowd, the King approaches and begins shaking hands while some sing ‘God Save the King’.
At the back of the crowd, four people holding large yellow ‘Not My King’ signs can be seen.
Seemingly unbothered and neither acknowledging them or reacting to the message, the King completes his greetings and heads into the church.
