THE King demonstrates the true value of never complaining, never explaining and never flinching when someone throws an egg – real or metaphorical – at your royal head.
This should have been a very tough week for the monarchy.
The fifth season of The Crown dropped on Netflix just two days ago, before a slack-jawed eco-activist chucked eggs at King Charles in York.
But somehow it is the spiteful republicans who have ended up with egg all over their cakeholes.
The irony of green goon Patrick Thelwell, 23, lobbing eggs at the King is that Charles was fighting for the environment before this cretin was born, and decades before green issues were even remotely fashionable.
