King Charles welcomed the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, to Buckingham Palace hours after a protester threw eggs at him and Camilla during a walkabout in York
The King held an audience with the president of Nigeria at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday – just hours after a protester threw eggs at the monarch during his visit to York.
It was business as usual for Charles back at monarchy HQ as he welcomed Muhammadu Buhari to the official royal residence in London.
During the audience in the 1844 Room, Charles shook hands with the smiling president and was pictured chuckling and gesturing as he held his arms out wide.
