"Coronation Protests Lead to Arrests and Demands for Reparations"

King Charles and Queen Camilla were officially crowned in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the first coronation in Britain in 70 years. Outside Westminster Abbey, police arrested at least 52 people, including numerous anti-monarchy activists who say they were detained before they even started protesting. Ahead of King Charles’ coronation, groups from 12 former British colonies wrote a letter demanding the new king pay reparations and apologize for Britain’s legacy of genocide and colonization. The British school curriculum is famously and woefully inadequate in terms of how much it teaches people about these things.
