City leaders were welcoming the King and Queen Consort to York when the protester threw three eggs at them, all of which luckily missed before the couple were ushered away.
“This country was built on the blood of slaves,” the man was heard shouting, as he was being four police officers detained him. Other people in the crowd started chanting “God save the King” and “shame on you” at the protester.
Charles and Camilla were in York to attend the unveiling of a statue of Queen Elizabeth II, the first to be installed since her death.
As police were detaining the man, Charles continued with a traditional ceremony that sees the sovereign officially welcomed to the city of York by the Lord Mayor. It was last carried out by his mother, the Queen, in 2012.
The unfazed King then did a walkabout greeting some of the crowds.
