Wrexham footballers Paul Mullin and James McClean have deleted controversial social media posts attacking King Charles.<\/p>\n

The Wrexham squad are currently celebrating their recent promotion from League Two in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

The all-expenses-paid post-season trip is a treat from the club\u2019s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who have seen Wrexham secure back-to-back promotions to reach League One.<\/p>\n

The players were a part of the launch of the third season of the hit series \u2018Welcome to Wrexham\u2019 and have also been pictured at the iconic Hakkasan nightclub and at Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez\u2019s fight against Jaime Munguia.<\/p>\n

Several players have shared highlights from the trip but Mullin and McClean caused controversy by posting an anti-monarchy message attacking King Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in February.<\/p>\n

Mullin posted a picture of the pair on Instagram during the post-season celebrations with the caption: \u2018And we hate the f****** King!\u2019<\/p>\n

Republic of Ireland international McClean shared the picture on his own Instagram and added: \u2018We serve no king or kaiser but Ireland! Sue me.\u2019<\/p>\n

Both posts have since been deleted but McClean, a vocal Republican, admitted to singing anti-monarchy chants on the pitch as Wrexham celebrated their promotion last month.<\/p>\n

\u2018Is this correct? Absolutely and I also sang at the top of my lungs,\u2019 McClean said in response to a story about the incident. \u2018Do I make any apologies for doing so? Absolutely not.\u2019<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old refuses to wear a poppy during games played across Remembrance weekend and turned his back on the English national anthem while playing for Ireland.<\/p>\n

Mullin, who was born just outside Liverpool city centre, revealed his aversion to the Royal Family in his autobiography, My Wrexham Story, as he reflected on a visit from King Charles to the club in December 2022.<\/p>\n
