Thread: The Reign of King Charles III begins

Lucky Britons on the extra day's holiday to mark the coronation. I wonder if governments in Commonwealth countries will also roll out another public holiday.

York: Man arrested after eggs thrown at King Charles

A man has been arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York.

A protester was restrained by police as crowds gathered at Micklegate Bar, the traditional royal entrance into the city, to greet the couple.

He was heard to shout "this country was built on the blood of slaves" as he was restrained.

North Yorkshire Police said a man, 23, was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and remained in custody.

People in the crowd started chanting "God save the King" and "shame on you" at the demonstrator.

The incident occurred on the second day of an official royal visit to Yorkshire, during which the King and Queen Consort later travelled to Doncaster.

The royal couple were being welcomed by city leaders in York when several eggs were thrown at them as the protester booed the pair.

Charles continued shaking hands with dignitaries including the Lord Mayor as the eggs flew in his direction, pausing briefly to look at the shells cracked on the ground.

The eggs missed the King and Queen Consort and they were ushered away.

Several officers were seen restraining a man on the ground behind temporary fencing set up for the King's visit.

Witness Kim Oldfield, owner of the Blossom Street Gallery, said she was stood in the doorway of her shop "enjoying" the couple's arrival when she heard "some booing and eggs flying".

"I glanced across, [saw] the police just descended on the barrier and tried to drag this chap over the top.

"About five eggs he'd managed to send.

"Camilla sort of flinched a little bit when the booing started but they [police] quelled it really quickly. Just a shame they spoilt what was a lovely moment."

Charles appeared unfazed as he continued greeting the crowds in a traditional ceremony which saw the sovereign officially welcomed to the city of York by the Lord Mayor.

The ceremony was last carried out by his late mother Queen Elizabeth II in 2012.

The King and Queen Consort had visited York to unveil a statue of Her Majesty at York Minster, the first to be installed since her death.

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, said the incident had not put the royal couple off meeting the public.

He told the BBC: "Those in public life are in positions of vulnerability at times and I certainly want to live in a country, and indeed in a world, where we're not so surrounded by people minding us that we can't meet people and chat with people.

"That is certainly what the King and the Queen Consort want. They were out chatting with people [later in the day]. So I don't think they've let it affect them."

Later, the King was cheered by crowds as he arrived in Doncaster to formally confer its city status.

Charles and Camilla then attended a reception with a menu including egg and watercress sandwiches.

Cool as a cucumber. I suspect the perp is Mr. Loser rather than Mr. Success.

Helge will correct me , sounds similar to the case of Omelette Prince of SkidMark?

No just another lazy bad aimer. They should have been hard boiled and aimed well at his empty entitled head

Horrid Harry might have been traumatized if he was standing near his father. Fortunately, King Charles has considerably more spine.
