This time, signs were used, not eggs.
King Charles put on a happy face even as the protesters waved their placards. PDO
King Charles III has continued the Easter tradition followed by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September.
The queen used to attend the service on Maundy Thursday. He also distributed coins to church activists. It was not a monetary aid, but a symbolic gesture. By handing out coins, the queen thanked for a job well done.
It has been customary to distribute the number of coins corresponding to the ruler’s age.
History books know how to tell that coins were distributed for the same reason already in the 13th century.
According to tradition, the ruler gives both a red and a white money bag. The white Money Bag contains Maundy Thursday coins. The red bag, on the other hand, contains two coins, which symbolize the ruler’s gift of clothes and food.
Charles and Queen Consort Camilla attended the service at York Cathedral.
However, not everything went exactly according to the manual.
Protesters from the anti-monarchy Republic group had arrived.
The protesters were holding yellow signs that read “Not my King”.
You couldn’t miss the yellow signs. PDO
The same opponents of the monarchy threw eggs at Charles recently.
Charles became king as soon as the queen died in September. However, Charles will not be crowned until next month. At the same time, Queen consort Camilla is crowned queen.
Charles and Camilla waved to the people gathered in the churchyard. PDO
