Man who threw eggs at King Charles ordered not to carry eggs in public

An English man who reportedly threw eggs at King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, in Northern England has been banned from carrying eggs in public as part of his bail conditions.

The Mirror reports that the King and Queen were walking down a street in York on Wednesday, shaking hands with locals when Patrick Thelwell, 23, tossed the eggs at them.

The eggs however missed the royal couple who were in Yorkshire on a royal visit, and the King and Queen Consort were led away from the scene.

Speaking to the publication after being released from police custody a day later, Thelwell, who is a self-confessed climate change activist and student at the University of York, said as a condition of his bail, he was ordered to stay 500 meters away from the king.

He also said he isn’t allowed to carry eggs in public with the exception of grocery shopping, calling the rules “amusing.”

"I was let out at 10 pm so it wasn’t that bad really. My friends were waiting for me. My solicitor was very good. After I was arrested the experience of that crowd, literally screaming and wailing with pure rage. Saying that my head should be on a spike, that I should be murdered on the spot,” he was quoted as saying.

Asked why he tried to pelt the King with eggs, he said: "I did what I did because I don't believe in kings. I believe in the equality of all people. It's a protest against the state of this country and the descent into fascism.”
