A series of strikes and protests by anti-monarchist groups hit the streets during the coronation of King Charles III in Scotland, the Celtic country. Internet users compared the coronation event to the ‘Game of Thrones<\/strong>‘ HBO series. The peaceful protests quickly turned into minor clashes among the spectators, as the venue was mostly made up of royal fans, who were there to watch the procession.<\/p>\n

At the last coronation, the Scottish Green Republican Party<\/strong> railed against the idea of a second coronation in Scotland, with placards reading the iconic phrase, “NotMyKing<\/strong>“, protesting against the traditions and protocols of the British crown, which were fiercely defended by royalty fanatics. The co-leader of the Scottish Republican group, Patrick Harvie<\/strong>, called the coronation ceremony a “Game of Thrones-style cosplay parody<\/strong>,” due to the “ridiculous” costumes and outfits witnessed.<\/p>\n

A video recorded in the city of Edinburgh showed how several protesters from the Republican group shouted “Not my King”<\/strong><\/em> while the royal supporters answered with their own chant, “Charles King of Scots<\/strong>“.\u00a0<\/em>The anti-monarchist groups had yellow signs with their motto, and the royal supporters also brought their own signs but in red, which made this a very visible two-sided confrontation of yellow and red signs.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere on the street got quite intense when a royalist fanatic tried to snatch a huge Scottish flag carried by a woman from the Republican side, an action that was not going to be tolerated by the other side protesters, who started yelling.<\/p>\n

The confrontation escalated and heated up with the exchange of words between the two sides, and ended up on a strong clash<\/strong> in the middle. After the event, hundreds of people complained to the authorities<\/strong> for having allowed anti-monarchist groups to settle near the event, where there were hundreds of spectators and royal fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
