King Charles was booed in Edinburgh on Sunday at a proclamation - as police arrested a 22-year-old woman for an anti-monarchy sign.
The protester was at Mercat Cross in the Scottish capital when police arrived and appeared to take her away.
One man shouted: “Let her go! It’s free speech!”
Police have since confirmed that a 22-year-old woman was arrested 'in connection with a breach of the peace.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: "A 22-year-old woman was arrested outside St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, on Sunday 11 September, 2022 in connection with a breach of the peace."
His Majesty’s State Trumpeters sounded a fanfare at the famous Edinburgh Castle and the Lord Lyon King of Arms read a proclamation for the King, prompting boos from other members of the crowd.
The Lord Lyon King of Arms ended the speech with the words: “God save the King.”
The crowd responded with: “God save the King.”
Boos were heard through the crowd as others cheered at the proclamation, while as the music came to an end people were heard calling for a republic, but the ceremony continued, with The Lord Lyon King leading three cheers.
Charles gave his first address to the nation as Head of State on Friday and was officially made King at an accession ceremony yesterday.
