A student will face 'threatening behaviour' charges at York Magistrates' Court next month, after chucking eggs at the King
After eggs were thrown at King Charles III during a walkabout in York last month, the Crown Prosecution Service has authorised North Yorkshire Police to charge student Patrick Thelwell with threatening behaviour.
On November 9, Charles, 74, and Camilla, Queen Consort had just arrived in the city to unveil a statue in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II at York Minster when a figure in the crowd threw four eggs - all of which missed them. Police officers at Micklegate Bar, a medieval gateway and focus for grand events, were seen restraining a man on the ground behind temporary fencing set up for the royal visit. People in the crowd started chanting "God save the King" and "shame on you" after the eggs were thrown.
