Eggs again thrown at UK’s King Charles, man arrested
UK police say they have arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of common assault, after an egg was allegedly thrown toward King Charles III while he was on 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.

In York on November 9, 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.
