“He is not my king,” Mr Wharton shouted, echoing Thorpe’s words from the previous day.
Crowds awaiting the royal chanted “God save the King”, many clutching mini Union Jack flags.
Mr Wharton also protested outside a church service attended by the royal family on Sunday.
Crowds gathered applauded officers as a Cooma man was arrested and taken away in a police van on Tuesday.
Many of the hundreds of people had been queuing since early Tuesday morning, some wearing British flags. Others accessorized with royal-themed jewelry and handbags.
“We want to celebrate our country and all of its people.” says Karen Clark with her young sons Benjamin and Harrison, who are wearing faux fur-trimmed crowns and capes.
“We grew up with the King and we celebrate his birthday with the boys. It’s fun to have high tea and dress up in our best costumes.”
“My father is from Liverpool and I’ve always been interested in the Royals,” says Bettina Bethuel, who came with friend Taja Shephard.
Taja saw Thorpe’s booing on TV and was not impressed.
“I thought it was a little rude, but I think she made her case for Indigenous people,” she said. “But I don’t think the way she acted was appropriate.”
The independent senator’s protest was praised as brave by some Indigenous activists, but was criticized by other prominent Indigenous Australians as “embarrassing” and disrespectful.
This also received strong criticism from members of the National Assembly.
