Two women who were arrested during Scotland’s coronation celebrations in Edinburgh have now been charged.
The King was presented with the Honours of Scotland – the country’s crown jewels – at a National Service of Thanksgiving in St Giles’ Cathedral on Wednesday.
The festivities for the new King and Queen also included a people’s procession, a royal procession, a 21-gun salute, and a flypast by the Red Arrows.
But outside the service, anti-monarchy protesters shouted: “Not my king.”
Two women, aged 21 and 22, were arrested over an alleged breach of the peace, after reportedly attempting to climb over the crowd safety barriers along the Royal Mile.
On Thursday morning, Police Scotland confirmed they have now been charged.
The pair have been released on an undertaking to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday 11 July.
