King Charles hands out Maundy money amid protests in York
Telegraph, 06 Apr 2023
King Charles has handed out Maundy money for the first time as monarch during a service at York Minster.
The ancient ritual traditionally takes place on the Thursday before Easter Sunday every year. Last year Charles represented his mother Queen Elizabeth II, who withdrew from the service because of mobility problems.
It sees the monarch present elderly members of the Church of England with special ‘Maundy’ coins.
The King arrived at the cathedral with the Queen Consort to cheers from hundreds of people who had lined the streets of the city waiting for the royal arrival.
