Hours before the start of the coronation ceremony of King Charles III, this Saturday 6, the streets of London blew up in the presence of Republican demonstrators calling for an end to the monarchy. Some of the protest organizers were arrested by London’s Metropolitan Guard, who warned earlier in the week that they would have little tolerance for disturbances on the day of the event.

The movement, whose motto is “Not Monarchy,” is spearheaded by the Republic, and is one of the UK’s largest anti-monarchy activist groups.

Protesters, wearing yellow shirts, carried banners and placards in Trafalgar Square. The leader of the anti-monarchy group, Graham Smith, was arrested around 7:30 am (local time) while unloading protest materials, such as posters, from a lorry.

Republic said on its Twitter account that “the police will not state the reason” for the arrest and the confiscation of hundreds of posters. According to the Guardian, five other organizers were arrested on the route of the King’s motorcade. A photo posted on Twitter shows Smith sitting on the ground surrounded by a group of police officers.

It continues after the announcement

Harry Stratton, director of the Republic Movement, told the Guardian: “They were picking up posters and bringing them in when they were stopped by the police. The men asked them why and they said, ‘We’ll tell you as soon as we do it.’ They searched the car. That’s when they arrested the six organisers.”

The security operation escalated into the culmination and is one of the largest in UK history. Themed “Operation Golden Orb,” the event has about 11,500 committed service agents. There are also rooftop snipers, plainclothes agents, metal detectors, sniffer dogs, and a no-fly zone over downtown, as well as the use of facial recognition technology on the streets. On Saturday morning, the apparent police presence on the city streets was evident.

The coronation of King Charles ignited, in an even more heated manner, the controversy over the current monarchy. During the coronation, the British and foreigners would be required to swear allegiance to the new monarch. The new rite is a replacement for those adopted in the earlier ceremonies, when dukes would pay homage to the king and swear allegiance to the king. In a poll by The Guardian, many Britons revolted against the act, citing a disconnect with the realities of current UK society.
