England’s King Charles III arrived in Cardiff this Friday, representing his first official visit to Wales since ascending to the throne. The reception for the new king was ambivalent: hundreds of fans greeted him with Welsh flags, chanting “King, hip for the King!” and “God Save the King!”

Nearby, however, a handful of anti-monarchy protesters booed the royal family and displayed banners reading “Abolish the monarchy”, “Citizen not subject” and “Democracy now”.

Leaving Cardiff Castle, the king approached a group to greet him, but was sharply questioned by one who criticized the high costs of the crown and royal ceremonies after Isabel II’s death, paid for with taxpayers’ money.

Then they left the room with the same dignity. Known as the “Rising of the Princes,” the tradition dates back to 1936, when George V’s four sons stood guard unannounced around his coffin.

Carlos III and his brothers had already seen the coffin on Monday in Scotland, where the monarch died at the age of 96 on September 8 at his summer home in Balmoral.
