This happens in all monarchies. Republicans (who definitely have the right to have their own opinion on the monarchy) have sometimes to bite on their tongue because to the left or to the right, the royal person on that throne is the head of state.
It is the same with Artur Mas, the separatist President of Catalonia (whom wants to establish an independent and republican Catalonia): he is still the president of a Spanish region and sometimes he has -with visible dédain- to "welcome" the head of state of the country he still belongs to.
In Oviedo (Asturias), the Mayor and the councillors have to reveive the King and his entourage for the Premios Princesa de Asturias. There were loud voices in the municipal council that the Mayor and the councillors should remain home and not be part of "this royal propaganda circus".
