On November 9, he was in York for the inauguration of a statue in the likeness of the queen with the longest reign that Great Britain has known. And a disrupter tried to throw eggs at him as he walked alongside the audience.
Why were Charles and Camilla targeted by egg fire?
Accompanied by his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, William and Harry’s dad barely flinched as the eggs grazed him several times. The man who was aiming at him from the crowd was quickly subdued by the police. According to our colleagues from “L’Indépendant”, the latter would have yelled in the direction of the king that the United Kingdom had been “built on the blood of slavery”.

Bad press for King Charles III
While he is not yet officially crowned, Charles has already been dragging around a few pans since the death of his mother… Indeed, during the days of mourning, King Charles III was criticized for dismissing part of his staff at Clarence House.
