King Charles and Queen Camilla have taken on the crucial responsibility of carrying on some of the royal family’s most important traditions.
Maundy Thursday is a beloved tradition of Charles and he never missed it, except in 2024, when he was recovering from his cancer diagnosis.
Observed on the last Thursday before Easter Sunday at St Asaph’s Cathedral in North Wales, it commemorates the Last Supper and the importance of humility and service to others. The monarch is making a trip to Wales.
He will distribute special coins to members of the community before returning to England for the Easter Sunday service at St George’s Chapel.
However, the service may not go ahead as planned as anti-monarchy groups have announced plans to protest in light of the Andrew-Epstein scandal and answer burning questions from the public.
Republic released a statement saying they would heckle the royals during the service and demand what they knew about the gruesome details revealed in the Epstein files.
“On Maundy Thursday, the King and Queen will be at St Asaph’s Cathedral, North Wales, where 154 people will receive specially minted silver coins in recognition of their Christian service to their churches and communities,” it reads.
“The Royal Maundy service is an ancient tradition with rich symbolism of the Last Supper. The Republic will protest the Royal Maundy service at St Asaph THIS THURSDAY.”
They added: “We will ask Charles ‘What did you know?’ about the Andrew scandal. Join our protest, pledge to protest with us in Wales, link in bio! #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein.
The uproar continued as the public expressed dismay at the delay in action for shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. There are grievances over why the royal family continues to protect the disgraced ex-prince despite the heinous allegations made against him.
