Protesters egg Camilla King Charles as he greets crowds in York

Protesters were arrested on Wednesday after they threw eggs and vitriol at King Charles and his wife, Camilla, as they walked in the city of York in northern England.

The incident occurred as the King and his wife entered York through Micklegate Bar. Micklegate Bar is the medieval gateway traditionally where monarchs were welcomed into the city. Video footage showed several eggs moving and smashing to the ground. No one attacked the royal couple who continued to welcome the crowd.

Several police officers were seen wrestling the man at the crowd barrier. It was built,” he reported.

Other members of the crowd tried to drown him, chanting “shame on you” and “God save the king.”

Charles and Camilla traveled to York as part of a series of engagements across England that marked the beginning of the new king’s reign. They also visited York His Minster, the city’s cathedral, to unveil a statue of Queen Elizabeth, who died in September after reigning for 70 years.

This isn’t the first time food-related protests have targeted the new king. In October, at Madame Tussauds wax museum in London, two protesters from the British activist group Just Stop Oil smashed a chocolate cake in the face of a wax figure of Charles.
