Moment protester Patrick Thelwell narrowly misses King Charles while throwing eggs

Footage shows the moment Patrick Thelwell narrowly missed hitting King Charles III with eggs, after he launched a protest during his visit to York on Wednesday, 9 November.

The royal couple were being welcomed to the city, where they will later unveil a statue of Queen Elizabeth II, when three eggs were thrown at them, all of which missed.

Police detained Thelwell who was heard to shout “this country was built on the blood of slaves,” following the protest.

He has since been found guilty.
