A protester has been arrested after allegedly hurling eggs at King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort. as they walked through the northern England city of York. 

The pair were meeting with crowds near Micklegate Bar, a medieval gateway where monarchs are traditionally welcomed to the city, during an official royal visit.

Several eggs were seen smashing on the ground near King Charles, who continued to greet the crowds.

"Some guy basically lobbed an egg, it missed Charles, it landed at his feet, he was heard to shout allegedly 'this country was built on the blood on slaves'," UK correspondent Enda Brady told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast.
