Jeez!! King Charles III and Queen Camilla were nearly drenched with eggs during an official visit to York, England on Wednesday!
The royals were in the area for the unveiling of a new statue built to honor the late Queen Elizabeth II. The piece was finished one month before her passing in September. So, it’s certainly an emotional and important visit for the couple, and yet, it was nearly a disaster!

On Wednesday, the couple was spotted greeting onlookers outside of Micklegate Bar in the northern English town when a protester flung four eggs at them, nearly striking Charles in the head! Miraculously, none of the eggs made contact and the 73-year-old monarch kept his cool, hardly even acknowledging the incident! Ch-ch-check out footage of the viral moment (below)!
Whoa. So much for respecting their new king! According to Metro UK, the protestor has been identified as 23-year-old activist Patrick Thelwell. He was reportedly heard shouting at the scene:
Meanwhile, others nearby began to boo the activist and chanted “God save the King” and “shame on you.” The University of York student was detained by police and escorted away while Charles and Camilla kept going about their business during the ceremony.
