A 23-year-old self-described climate activist has been banned from carrying eggs in public — except for when grocery shopping — after he was arrested Wednesday in Northern England for allegedly throwing them at the Royals, reports FOX News Digital.
Patrick Thelwell told the Mirror that, as a condition of his bail, he must also stay 500 meters away from King Charles III, and he called the rules “amusing.”
Thelwell has been accused of attempting to egg Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, as they were walking down a street in York glad-handing the locals.
The eggs just missed the couple.

Thelwell was not identified by police after his arrest, but he was named by the Mirror.
Thelwell was immediately held by authorities and claimed the crowd threatened he should be “murdered” and his head should be on a “spike.”

He said, however, it didn’t bother him because he knows what “fascism is, what it looks like.”
“People were ripping chunks of my hair out, they were spitting at me. People lost their minds,” he claimed. “I did what I did because I don’t believe in kings. I believe in the equality of all people.”
Meanwhile, King Charles III has been an advocate of climate change awareness for decades.
The royal couple went to York as part of a series of U.K. stops. making a special visit to the city’s cathedral, York Minster, where a statue of Charles’ mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, was revealed.
