Man ‘throws an egg at King Charles’ during walkabout before being arrested on suspicion of common assault – exactly one month after the monarch and Queen Consort were hit with eggs
An egg was thrown at King Charles again today, according to police – who arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of common assault.
The monarch is believed to have been targeted during a walkabout on St George’s Square in Luton.
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.
It comes exactly a month after Charles, 74, was pelted with four eggs in York by a man shouting ‘this country was built on the blood of slaves’.
The protester was later identified as Patrick Thelwell, a 23-year-old Extinction Rebellion activist who once stood as a Green Party candidate.
