A man has been detained by police after appearing to throw eggs at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York.

The protester was restrained as crowds gathered at Micklegate Bar, the traditional royal entrance into the city, to greet the couple.

He was heard to shout: "This country was built on the blood of slaves," as he was being held by police.

Other people in the crowd started chanting "God save the King" and "shame on you" at the protester.

People don't realise The Crown isn't a documentary.

While the rest are annoying and privileged the only one who deserves to be egged is Andrew.

Great column in the Times reviewing her weekly podcasts from Hilary Rose.

Meghan is keen for us to know that she loves etymology and “people with expansive vocabularies”, which must have been what attracted her to Harry. Thanks to this week’s podcast we know that the young Meghan, hungry for new words, loved a TV programme called Jeopardy. When the host died her friends sent her condolence messages. Read that again if you didn’t fully grasp the scale of the narcissism first time round.

A friend pops up to describe herself as “a fellow wild cat, with Meghan” and Meghan says, no, she’s more of a mild cat, and we all laugh. The friend says she doesn’t care if someone calls her the b-word, which is very off-message and insufficiently oppressed, so Meghan pounces, like a mild cat. Bitch, she points out, is often a euphemism for difficult.

where to start.

Yeah proposing needless violence - when will you invade Poland?

Coloured? who are you, Benedict Cumberbitch?

You mean the self pitying, ex (maybe) actress, divorcee that has cut off her family and has now done the same for her husband? Most of us are happy that is all the damage she has done.

I see you spend the day dreaming you can read other people's mind, it seems you aren't even safe in your own.

Egg thrower has started a fund raiser for his legal fees.

A man accused of throwing eggs at The King has crowdfunded to raise £10,000 to pay his legal bills.
Patrick Thelwell, 23, was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence for hurling eggs at the monarch who was visiting York to unveil a statue of his late mother.

The international relations student said he launched the attack on the King and Queen – neither of whom were hit – to “stand in solidarity with all of the people who are resisting colonialism in the world today”.

He has claimed he is now facing a £5,000 fine and up to six months in prison.

In an appeal posted on social media, Thelwell, who has links to Extinction Rebellion and formerly stood to be a Green Party councillor, is pictured smiling and holding an egg.

The caption underneath the picture said his actions were taken: “In solidarity with all of the people worldwide sick of living in a society that punishes the weak and the poor and rewards the wealthy and the cruel.”

The appeal on Go Fund Me, entitled “Fundraiser for Patrick’s legal fees”, had raised just under £200 as of Friday, but now appears to have been taken down.
