A man has been arrested after allegedly tossing eggs at King Charles and Camilla.
The Monarch and Queen Consort were walking around York, Yorkshire when they came under fire from a lone egg man.
As crowds assembled behind barricades lined across the pavement to a road closed off for the Royals to stroll down, vehement shouting could be heard.
Daily Mail’s royal expert Rebecca English reported that outside a row of independent businesses, someone shouted in the direction of the King that the country was built on the blood of slavery.
Uniformed police then rushed to swarm the suspected assailant under the supervision of men who appeared to be private security.
And if some people had their way, another royal might have been the new ruler of England, and he definitely didn’t harvest grand popularity with British citizens after the personal facts about his marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales became public knowledge.
People preferred William and Kate, the newly minted Prince and Princess of Wales, and they’re adored, along with their children, and people still have an affinity for Princess Diana, but she never wanted to be a queen, but she was the queen of people’s hearts, and that proved to be the case.
Charles publicly disclosed that he began having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in 1986 while he was still married to Princess Diana, and he also treated Princess Diana badly on a number of occasions, and the people who were extremely protective of Diana were simply unwilling to move past Charles past offences.
Many didn’t want to see Camilla as a queen, but now Camilla has the title of Queen consort, which came with the Queen’s approval before her demise.
People didn’t want a petulant King, and Charles isn’t exactly lauded by biographers, and even those with a credible link to him are quick to point out his faults, and he’s been portrayed as petulant and cold, and some of his private tirades and huffs have been made public, further hurting his reputation.
Until very recently, numerous British citizens were concerned about how effective Charles would be as King. The position of a reigning monarch isn’t one to be taken lightly by any means, and people worried that he wouldn’t rise to the occasion.
King Charle’s reign as king will inevitably be far shorter than Queen Elizabeth’s time on the throne, and the fact that Charles will have a much shorter reign concerns people.
King Charles doesn’t have the charm and warmth that Princess Diana had. He comes off as cold and has even been described as a snob. Prince William, on the other hand, has reached out to people much as his mother did, and he has a compassionate way about him, and that’s what many people want to see in a king.
King Charles has taken a stand on important environmental issues such as sustainability and climate change, but he’s fallen pitifully short on animal welfare matters. Whereas Prince Harry decided not to partake in a grouse hunt in 2018, Charles has gone so far as to call fox hunting ‘romantic’.
Charles has a record of not being loyal to important people in his life, or even to himself. He betrayed the love he had for Camilla to marry Diana, then he betrayed Diana to carry on an affair with Camilla, plus, he went against the royal family’s wishes for him about the divorce he ultimately chose, and while this was ultimately the right decision for him, it left people with lingering sour thoughts about him.
