Egg-cellent Punishment: Man Who Threw Eggs at King Charles Banned From Carrying Eggs

A 21-year-old man named Harry May was fined £100 and ordered to pay £85 in court costs on Friday, after pleading guilty to throwing an egg towards King Charles III during a royal walkabout in Luton, north of London, on December 6th of last year.

The incident occurred when King Charles was in Luton to meet community leaders and open a new Sikh temple.

According to prosecutor Jason Seetal, May told police that he threw the egg because “he believed the king visiting a town like Luton, which is a deprived and poor area, was in bad taste.”

The chief magistrate, Paul Goldspring, told May during the hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court that, “whatever disagreement you have with somebody, the way to resolve it is not to throw projectiles at them.”

Goldspring also stated that he accepted that May was not trying to hit the king with the egg, but that the attack was “planned” and “targeted” toward Charles.

This attack occurred less than a month after several eggs were thrown at Charles and his wife Camilla in the city of York, in northern England, in November. None of the eggs hit Charles, and he was ushered away by minders.

The alleged attacker in the York incident, a 23-year-old university student named Patrick Thelwell, was later released on bail on the condition that he did not carry eggs in public, except when shopping. Thelwell will appear in court in York next Friday.
