President Joe Biden met British royal Prince William on Friday in Boston — but not without controversy.

Biden, 80, and the prince, 40, met at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library near Boston Harbor. But while they shared polite greetings, a group of protesters chastised Biden for his role in averting a rail worker strike.

Roughly 100 protesters gathered near the men and shouted their displeasure at both, firing "f*** the royal family" at Prince William and "Joe Biden is a scab" at the president.

Others shouted, "Let's Go Brandon!", according to the Daily Mail.

Biden signed a bill Friday morning that prevented the strike, calling it the "right thing to do." But the deal upset some unions, which are some of the president's strongest supporters, for not including an increase in sick leave.
