A man has been arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York. Charles and Camilla were being welcomed to the city on Wednesday by local dignitaries when a protester started booing the pair before throwing four eggs at them.
All of the eggs missed, before the King and Queen Consort were ushered away. North Yorkshire Police confirmed that a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence following an incident on Micklegate and remains in custody.
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.
