BANGKOK: Thousands of yellow-shirted Thai royalists staged their biggest show of support for the monarchy so far on Sunday in the face of months of protests that have called for royal reforms as well as the removal of the government.
Supporters of Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida hold pictures of them, as they gather before a religious ceremony, at The Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, November 1, 2020. REUTERS/Jorge SilvaProtesters say King Maha Vajiralongkorn's powers are too great and want to reverse changes that gave him personal control of some army units and a palace fortune valued in the tens of billions of dollars.
The biggest protests have drawn tens of thousands of people, many times more than the royalists have brought out, even including accompanying members of security forces who are also ordered to wear yellow - the king's colour.
