Man, 21, explains why he threw egg at King Charles

A 21-year-old man has admitted throwing an egg towards the King during a walkabout in Luton because he thought the monarch's visit to a "poor area" was in "bad taste".

Harry May pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday to a Section 5 public order offence relating to the incident on December 6. Charles had been temporarily steered away from the crowds outside Luton Town Hall by his security staff shortly after arriving.

He then resumed shaking hands with members of the public after being moved to a different area.
