Climate protesters wearing Charles and Camilla masks join demonstration in Windsor

Extinction Rebellion (XR) protesters donned King Charles and Queen Camilla masks to take part in a climate demonstration in Windsor.

Tents, stages and speakers were set up in Windsor Home Park on Friday (30 August) ahead of an “action-packed” weekend of activities.

One protester said she thought the King would “probably be here” and “up for doing some camping” if he was not the head of state.

The group was closely watched by police officers from Thames Valley Police as the force warned it would “not tolerate criminal behaviour”.

XR is planning peaceful action over the next three days to propose “democratic renewal” as the answer to issues caused by climate change.
