A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of common assault during a walkabout by King Charles in Luton town centre, Bedfordshire police said, after an egg is believed to have been thrown in the direction of the monarch.
The man is being held in custody for questioning after being arrested in St George’s Square in Luton on Tuesday, Bedfordshire police said.
Charles was temporarily steered away from the crowds outside Luton town hall by his security staff shortly after arriving. He then resumed shaking hands with members of the public after being moved to a different area.
The king was in Luton to ride the new cable-drawn Dart mass passenger transit system. » | Jamie Grierson and agency | Tuesday, December 6, 2022
