This is the second incident in just a few weeks. Luton this time, York last month. Never happened to The Queen as far as I know?

I do not think it happened to Queen Elizabeth II

Not a supporter of the RF, but I think most of us had a lot of respect for QE in a way we don't for KC.

John Prescott had an egg thrown at him once. Maybe it’s thought okay to throw eggs at men?

I have just seen some video footage of the visit to Luton there seemed to be a fair few hundred out to welcome King Charles.

Nigel Farage got ‘egged’.
I’m beginning to think it’s just men.

I think also that the RF is trying to be more in touch with the commoners that is us! Queen Elizabeth somehow retained a respectful distance which worked well for her. Interesting to see how this is going to develop….

Umstrongran do you remember John Prescott retaliating by punching the man in the face after he egged him
Can’t reply about Farage I d have liked to have done it myself

I had forgotten about the Aberystwyth demo - but not the "mooning"!

Waste of eggs. Didn’t Farage get milkshaked?

He did. Think it was in Newcastle. Good 'ol Geordies.

It’s a thing. Politicians being hit by eggs. Ed Milliband handled it well.
