Over the years, King Charles III has learned to ignore any hecklers during his royal engagements.
On Thursday, the King headed to Milton Keynes, U.K. to celebrate its new status as a city.
However, among the well-wishers at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone were a handful of protesters holding yellow signs that read “Not My King.”
The Daily Express‘ Royal Correspondent, Richard Palmer, tweeted some pics and videos from the day, confirming there were about 20 protesters there, reportedly from the anti-monarchy group Republic.
