Queen Camilla is in major trouble after she became the focus of anti-monarchy protesters at Thursday’s Easter service.

The Queen was met by anti-monarchy campaigners as she arrived at Worcester Cathedral for a morning religious service.

The Republic, a group known for its protests against the royal family, was stationed outside the cathedral carrying huge yellow banners and flags.

Protesters chanted “Down with the crown” as the Queen presided over the annual Maundy Day ceremony in place of the King.

Camilla made history as the first princess to host the special event, while Charles took a step back due to his ongoing cancer treatment.

In a statement released ahead of the event, Fianna Fáil said: “When Camilla visits Worcester on Thursday it will also be a reminder of how out of touch the monarchy is with the values ​​that most of us hold. Equality, democracy and the rule of law etc. Values ​​Law.”

UK News royal correspondent Cameron Walker spoke to Republic chief executive Graham Smith outside the service on Thursday.

Smith said the group was “continuing a series of protests against the monarchy”.

Asked whether it was appropriate for Kate and King Charles to protest at royal events after they were diagnosed with cancer, Smith said the protest was against the royal institution, not family members.

He said: “We separate personal and private issues from issues as a protest against the institution and we have made that very clear on social media.

“Our sympathies are with Charles and Kate and we wish them a speedy recovery.

Kate released a video message on Friday announcing she had been diagnosed with cancer.

However, the Queen also met a large number of well-wishers in Worcester on Thursday and presented gifts to the Princess of Wales and King Charles.
