A man who is suspected of throwing eggs at the King has now been banned from carrying eggs in public.
Patrick Thelwell, 23, was arrested after eggs were thrown at the King and Queen Consort in York on Wednesday. All of the eggs missed, before the King and Queen Consort were ushered away, the Mirror reports.
On Thursday morning, North Yorkshire Police tweeted: "Here is an update following an arrest during yesterday’s Royal Visit. Yesterday, we arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of a public order offence during the Royal visit."

"The man has been interviewed and released on police bail. He was detained following an incident which occurred as King Charles III and the Queen Consort arrived at Micklegate Bar in York yesterday. "
Speaking to the Mirror after being released from custody, Thelwell, a student at University of York, said he was attacked by the crowd. He said: "I was let out at 10pm 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. It doesn't phase me because I understand what fascism is, what it looks like.
“People were ripping chunks of my hair out, they were spitting at me. People lost their minds. It's just so revealing to see when you challenge someone’s beliefs in that way, the belief of the superiority of this man’s blood.”
When asked why the King, who arguably has been trying to raise awareness about climate change for decades, he said: “If that is what we take as someone who has done the most for climate change it shows you how low the bar is! This is a man who dresses in stolen jewels from India and Africa and every other colony.”
Patrick said his bail conditions include not being allowed to be 500 metres within the King and not being allowed to possess any eggs in a public place. Although he says they had to alter that condition so he could go grocery shopping.
He said he has been charged with Section 4 public order offence and due in court on December 1. The student added he was on the way home to change his passwords after getting sinister messages.
