King Charles and Queen Camilla greeted by boos and chants from anti-monarch protesters at Maundy Thursday service

King Charles and Queen Camilla have been greeted by boos and chants from anti-monarch protesters at a Royal Maundy Service in Durham.

Charles arrived at Durham Cathedral for the Maundy Thursday service, after missing last year’s ceremony while receiving treatment for cancer.

Anti-monarch protesters held placards and chanted as the royal couple arrived for the service on Thursday (16 April).

The King will hand out Maundy Money to 76 men and 76 women – one for each year of his life – to thank them for their “outstanding Christian service”.

The recipients will be presented with two purses, one red and one white, containing Maundy Money.
