You can’t blame the man. British Royal News suggests that King Charles III’s security is worried that some disgruntled royal critics will try to throw eggs at the king during his Christmas walk this weekend. Here’s what you need to know.
According to the Daily Mail, “an urgent review of King Charles’ security has taken place ahead of the royal family’s public appearance on Christmas Day, following recent protests,” as “royal protection chiefs are concerned that the King may face protestors after being targeted twice by egg-hurling activists.”
King Charles III Is Now Fearful Of Eggs For This Reason
Earlier in the month, UK police said they had arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of common assault, after an egg was allegedly thrown towards King Charles III on Tuesday during a walkabout. The arrest in Luton, north of London, came less than a month after the monarch narrowly avoided being hit by eggs lobbed in his direction during a visit to York in northern England.
Charles, 74, was in Luton to meet community leaders and voluntary organizations, open a new Sikh temple and visit a new public transport system. Bedfordshire Police said the man arrested was detained outside Luton Town Hall and taken for questioning.
But that wasn’t the only time that Chuck had an unwanted order of scrambled eggs hurled in his direction. Back in November, eggs were thrown at Charles and Queen Consort Camilla by a man heard shouting “this country was built on the blood of slaves” and “not my king.” The suspect was later released on bail.
As many royal fans know by now, Charles became king on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September. She was buried after a state funeral and 10 days of national mourning. But there were some protests against the hereditary principle of monarchy, in which Charles took over as head of state. So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the matter.
