Prince William has been booed while attending an event in honour of the Royal Navy’s submarine service.
The Duke of Cambridge attended a service to recognise 50 years of continuous deterrent at sea and the commitment of the Royal Navy’s peacekeeping efforts.
The father-of-three gave a reading from the Bible, “We pray that the Royal Navy may never be required to deploy these terrible forces in war and that they may continue to deter their use by others,” according to the Washington Post.
Hundreds of protestors had gathered to denounce the service as some believed that the gathering celebrated nuclear weapons, leading to the protests.
