Bristol aristocrat Lady Victoria Hervey has sparked controversy after she called for anyone who is organising anti-monarchy protests to be arrested before the Coronation, and then released afterwards.
Lady Victoria, the eldest daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol and older sister of the current Marquess of Bristol, was debating the King’s Coronation with activist Peter Tatchell on GB News.
Her comments have been condemned by many commentators claiming she was advocating internment without trial, but it followed the mass arrests of Just Stop Oil protesters in the capital last weekend, and a statement from the Metropolitan Police later this week, saying they would have a ‘low tolerance’ to anyone ‘undermining this celebration’.
