The event occurred outside of Luton Town Hall on December 6, during King Charles’s visit to Bedfordshire town.
A guy who admitted to tossing an egg at King Charles during a royal walkabout in Luton was fined.
Following the incident, 21-year-old Harry May of Luton was charged with a Section 5 public order offense on 6 December, during the monarch’s visit to the town.
The event occurred in front of Luton Town Hall during King Charles’s visit to Bedfordshire city.
Protection police originally guided the monarch away from the crowds, but she continued to greet members of the public after being relocated.
Prosecutor Jason Seetal told the Westminster Magistrates’ Court that May was arrested after officers witnessed him throw an object at the prince when he was speaking to the public.
The egg landed nearby on the floor.
When asked by a police officer what he had thrown, the suspect responded, “An egg.”
During a police search of May’s jacket, a second egg was discovered in a soup can. And he claimed he had intended to throw it as well.
The prosecutor told the court that when officers examined May, he told them he had thrown the egg. “Because he considered the King’s visit to a deprived and underprivileged place like Luton was in poor taste. And he wanted to make a statement about this.”
He stated that he did not plan to strike King Charles.
May was then charged with using threatening or abusive language or conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress.
Alex Benn, May’s defense attorney, told the court that his client “cares profoundly about his local community”. But he “truly regrets” his actions.
Alex Benn, who appeared in court wearing glasses and a navy blazer while accompanied by his defense attorney, expressed “great sorrow” for his acts.
Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring said May, “Whatever issue you have with someone, throwing objects at them is not the solution.”
May was forced to pay a $100 fine and £85 in fees.
