Eggs thrown at King Charles III during York visit, protestor released on bail

A protestor, who was detained after eggs were thrown at the King Charles III during his York visit, has been released on bail, according to police. During the royal visit, the 23-year-old was detained on Wednesday on charges of violating the peace.

A protester began booing King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla before throwing four eggs at them, while local authorities were welcoming the couple to the city. Officers asserted that a "well-rehearsed" security arrangement had been set up for the visit in order to ensure the safety of the royal couple.

When the royals waved to spectators on the city's Micklegate Bar, the King was merely barely spared. "God save the King" and "shame on you" were chanted by the audience, who also booed.


A security guard in suit stood next to the King and temporarily gripped his shoulder while the eggs were being tossed. The King almost trod in one of the eggs, but he didn't seem alarmed and kept going.



The man was placed in the back of a police van by cops while being handcuffed and having his legs restrained. Before the individual was granted police bail, officers questioned him.

The royal couple's visit was a part of a customary ritual in which the Lord Mayor of York formally welcomes the king to the city.
