While greeting excited members of the public and city leaders, a member of the public appeared to throw eggs at the royals in a solo protest.Footage of the incident was shared online which saw the eggs flying close to the King before landing on the floor by his feet.The man was tackled to the ground by police officers and carried into the back of a waiting police van while the royal couple continued their visit.According to a lip reader who assessed the footage, the King epitomised the British sentiment of ‘keep calm and carry on’.As he threw the eggs, the protestor shouted, ‘this country was built on the blood of slaves’.
