Man hurled egg at King Charles because his 'visit to poor area was in bad taste' | The Sun

A MAN threw an egg towards the King because he thought his visit to a poor area was in “bad taste”, a court heard.

Police seized Harry May, 21, after his projectile landed near Charles on December’s walkabout.

Officers found a second egg in an empty soup tin inside his jacket.

Prosecutor Jason Seetal told JPs: “He believed the King visiting a town like Luton, a deprived and poor area, was in bad taste and he wanted to make a point of this.”

May, of Luton, admitted a public order offence yesterday.

Westminster magistrates fined him £100 with £85 costs.

Alex Benn, defending, said May “deeply regrets” his actions.

They said: “He cares deeply about his local community.”

JP Paul Goldspring said: “Whatever disagreement you have, the way to resolve it is not to throw projectiles.”
