The location of the protest was changed from the Crown Property Bureau HQ to avoid possible clashes with a rival ultra royalist rally. Soon after coming to power following his father's death in 2016, the new king took control of the Crown Property Bureau which has assets in banks, companies and prime real estate. IMAGES
