Although one of the eggs did land near the monarch, none of them appeared to directly strike him. https://twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK/status/1590304006785859585?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1590304006785859585%7Ctwgr%5E0d518cd20b0364f0af219ae874e0ea8973367de7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fman-throws-eggs-at-king-charles-366583 Footage from the scene showed Thelwell being tackled to the ground by police and royal security staff.

Cries of "shame on you" at him and "God save the King" then broke out by angry members of the crowd.

Speaking to the Mirror, the University of York student suggested the crowd's reaction was evidence they were "fascists." https://twitter.com/BBCLookNorth/status/1590303112849690624

"After I was arrested the experience of that crowd, literally screaming and wailing with pure rage," he told the publication.

"Saying that my head should be on a spike, that I should be murdered on the spot. It doesn't phase me because I understand what fascism is, what it looks like."

He said he had received a wave of abuse on social media following his actions, including death threats.

He revealed that his bail conditions include staying at least 500 metres away the King and not being allowed to possess any eggs in a public place.

He said this condition was eventually altered so he could go grocery shopping.

Thelwell has previously described being arrested for public disorder as "the single most rewarding and worthwhile experience of my life."

He has also previously expressed republican sentiments, tweeting that he would "not bow to the new false King" when the Queen died.

The 23-year-old stood as a Green Party candidate in the 2019 local elections for the Hull Road Ward in York, which is now controlled by Labour.

His policy proposals included creating "an economy based on mutual aid, sustainability, and growing our own food" and pushing York council to reduce its carbon emissions.
