The student who was arrested for allegedly throwing eggs at King Charles and Queen consort, Camilla, Patrick Thelwell, during a walkabout in York has been banned from carrying eggs in public.
A few days ago, it was reported that a 24-year-old student pelted eggs at King Charles and Queen Camilla when they visited the historic city to attend the unveiling of a statue of Charles’s mother, the Late Queen Elizabeth II, which was mounted since her death on September 8.
According to a video shown on live television, a young man among the crowded people was heard chanting “this country was built on the blood of slaves” and “not my king” before he was arrested by police officers at the historic Micklegate Bar location.
Patrick Thelwell is no longer allowed to carry eggs in public spaces and be within 500 meters of the king as part of his bail conditions.
Thelwell told the Daily Mirror newspaper that people were “literally screaming and wailing with pure rage”.
“People were ripping chunks … of my hair out, they were spitting at me. People lost their minds,” he was quoted as saying.
He said he was released at 10 pm on Wednesday on condition he does not go within 500 meters of the king.
He is also not allowed to possess any eggs in public, which he claimed to have had amended so he could go grocery shopping.
