Why some Wales fans booed God Save The King during World Cup clash with England

Wales supporters made their voices heard during their side's World Cup clash with England, with many choosing to boo the England fans' own version of 'God Save The King'.

Although both anthems before the Group B match at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium were well observed, it was when England supporters sang the national anthem midway through the first half that several boos could be heard coming from the end housing the majority of Welsh fans.

The independence movement is currently growing in Wales, and many in the country felt that the title of Prince of Wales should have been discontinued when King Charles ascended to the throne in September upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
