A 23-year-old man was detained by North Yorkshire police officers after he pelted eggs at King Charles and Queen consort, Camilla during a walkabout in York.
King Charles III and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla on Wednesday took a walk in York and were pelted with eggs by a young man among the crowd.
King Charles III and his wife Queen Consort Camilla on Wednesday visited the historic city to attend the unveiling of a statue of Charles’s mother, the Late Queen Elizabeth II, which was mounted since her death on September 8.
According to a video shown on live television, a young man among the crowded people was heard chanting “this country was built on the blood of slaves” and “not my king” before he was arrested by police officers at the historic Micklegate Bar location.
According to people present at the scene, the protester, who threw eggs at the royal couple, also booed them before he appeared to lob the eggs at them.
After the young man was arrested, some people were also heard chanting “God save the King” and “shame on you” at the protester.
