Friday, November 8, 2024 - Some anti-monarchy protesters ambushed Prince William on his final day in South Africa.
The Prince of Wales, 42, was visiting Kalk Bay in Cape Town this
morning, Nov. 7, when he was met by the pair yelling "go home
now".
One held a sign that said: "William, you have no sovereignty in our
country."
It's the only sign of unrest during the Prince's four day trip for the 2024
Earthshot Awards.
The award ceremony was held last night, Nov. 6, as William took to
the green carpet.
On Thursday morning, Nov. 7, while chants were made against the
prince, who carried on with the engagement unphased, plenty of supporters tried
to drown out the opposition.
Cheers of "William we love you, we love you William" could be
heard from supporters of the future King who attempted to drown out the lone
protestors.
The protestors joined the crowd of well wishers just over an hour into
the prince's visit to meet local fishermen to highlight the contributions of
2023 Earthshot Finalist Abalobi.
While most of the protest was aimed at William, one protestor shouted
that the future King should “hand back what your grandmother stole from
us”.
Local fisherman were also angry that they hadn’t been asked to meet the
prince today as they claimed only Abalobi was invited to take part in today’s
engagement.
Rifiek Isaac’s deputy chair of a small-scale fishing corporate said he
was angry that Abalobi had been chosen as they don’t represent the local
fishermen.
He said: “We would have loved to meet the Prince, it’s not about him. We
don’t like that company using our Harbour. We fish here.”
