A man who threw an egg at King Charles III on a walk pleaded guilty and was fined.
Harry May, 21, was charged with public order and morals during a royal visit to Luton on December 6.
The Westminster Magistrates Court has heard that May, of Moreton Road South, Luton, thought the monarch’s visit to the “poor neighborhoods” was in “bad taste”.
The defendant (whose full name is Harry Spartacus May) was ordered to pay a fine of £100 and costs of £85.
The King was initially kept from the crowds by his guardians outside Luton Town Hall, but continued to visit shortly thereafter.
Police arrested May after witnessing her throw a projectile that fell to the ground near King while speaking to the public, according to prosecutor Jason Sheetal.
May was charged with using threatening/abusive language/actions that could harass, alarm and cause distress.
When questioned by police, Seetal said May said he did it because he thought it was in bad taste for the king to visit a poor neighborhood like Luton and he wanted to document it. It says.
Wearing glasses and a navy blue jacket, May sat on the dock and remained expressionless as the facts were read out in court.
Attorney Alex Benn told the court that his client “deeply regrets” his actions and “accepts that he must now face the consequences”.
He was described as “a devoted, homely man” with a “great love for his country”.
Chief Justice Paul Goldspring said in a May speech: “If you have a disagreement with someone, the way to resolve it is not to throw projectiles at them.
Goldspring denied that he was “very aware” of May’s mother’s claim that throwing things in the direction of public figures could inflict “fear” on them, but he regretted it. I acknowledge that I have expressed my feelings.
He added, “I also admit that you didn’t mean to egg your Majesty. But you planned to do it and you meant to do it again, otherwise why carry two?” is it?
“It doesn’t matter who the target is or why.
