Wed 07 December 2022:
An egg is believed to have been thrown in the direction of Britain’s King Charles during a walkabout on Tuesday, according to PA Media, citing local police. A man in his 20s has been detained on suspicion of common assault, Reuters reported.
The arrest of a man was confirmed by a police official.
Following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, Charles ascended to the throne in September. He was in Luton, which is northwest of London.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
Last month, a man was detained by police after eggs were thrown at Charles and Camilla, his wife and queen consort, as they carried out an engagement in northern England.
Royals have previously faced such protests. Eggs were also thrown at Elizabeth’s royal car in 2002 when she visited Nottingham, central England, and anti-British protesters threw eggs at Charles during a walkabout in central Dublin in 1995.
