A 23-year-old man was arrested in York after throwing eggs at King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla during a public engagement.
The royal couple remained unfazed by the incident, continuing their duties which included unveiling a statue of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Police detained the individual on suspicion of a public order offense amid a mixed reaction from the crowd, with some jeering the protester and others chanting 'God save the King'.
This event is not an isolated incident, as royals have faced similar egg-throwing protests in the past, including against Queen Elizabeth in 2022 and King Charles in 1995.

Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests

Today 12:56 Key points summarised by AI

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
