Well, almost. Lots of booing too before the cheers start.
I'm really feeling that now the Queen has gone there is an increasing irreverence toward the monarchy.

Do they need to get "violence" to get rid of the monarchy?
I am not a Royalist by any stretch of the imagination.
Probably confused him with the Duke of Yolk
Going to be some Eggsplaining to the police later!
We've been under their yolk too long frankly.
Crack on I say
there is an increasing irreverence toward the monarchy.
Not really, just some of the anti-monarchists becoming a lot more vocal. For an analogy see Brexit and racists.
Was there a bit of a scramble?
It's easy over reacting to this sort of incident.

Was this on purpose? If so, genius.

True, need to stay positive, keep the sunny side up
The thrower's aim was obviously poor at that distance. He should have waited until he could see the whites of their eyes
Lots of booing too before the cheers start.
Sounds to me like the booing is for the egg thrower, not for Charlie.
Police have identified the thrower as Mr Bennedict, bagel lane, Norfyolk.
Throwing eggs is such a waste of food, especially in this time of crisis. Why not throw poo instead; recycling, and Charles is all about organic stuff.

Quite right. You'll note that the French limit themselves to throwing just a single egg at their protests. Because an egg is un oeuf.
He should have ducked.
I see Charles didn't crack under the pressure.
He's certainly not a chicken
Were there any photographers?
I don't think Charles would consider it one for the family albumen.
I see he managed to ovoid being hit

I think of opinions like a bell curve, shift it left of right and you put more people into the extremes.
A decade ago an extreme xenophobic view was grumbling about Polish builders in the pub, shift that average point over a bit and now it's firebombing refugees. The Daily Mail didn't tell him to do that, but it does push the bell curve that way.
Same with the monarchy, safe to say most people probably like Chales slightly less than they liked Liz, whether that's because they've just heard of any opinions at all from him rather than Liz who got the job as a kid and immediately had to keep quiet which made her difficult to dislike as we knew nothing about her other than she like Corgi's, because they have a niggling feeling about Diana/Camilla, or probably just shifting from just not caring, to still just not caring slightly more.
Also, throwing eggs at a 90 year old woman just isn't very British.
Some think he's a good egg others a cock.
Not sure where you poached this story from ...

Extreme xenophobia was just grumbling in the pub? I must check with some of my non-white friends what they think of that.
Probably some hard-boiled anarchist.
Wonder if said perp will get a beating as he's whisked away.
Damn, people have poached all the best puns 🙁
I see the police quickly scrambled to the incident.
Gamekeeper turned poacher is what I heard.

Nah. A decade ago, asylum seekers and refugees were still being targeted by racists, mosques and community centres were being firebombed, women were having hijabs etc torn from their faces, racist attacks were still happening. They've always been happening. They just get more coverage now. The 'bell curve' hasn't moved at all.
FTFY
The ‘bellend curve’ hasn’t moved at all.
Hmmm this type of offence is probably still punishable by eggsecution.
🤣
Eggsellent.
I wonder if Charlie is feeling shell shocked? This could eggcelerate the removal of the monarchy.
where were the soldiers?
LOL. I don't know but I heard that the officer in charge is now toast.
The puns are eggactly as I expected.
I still think it was just an eggtremist.
Where are all the security????
I watched as they brought Liz Truss into Downing St there where at least 3 cars and outriders, I'm not a royalist but I would expect more security for a king.
Or is it that the present government is held in that much contempt that they figure it's more likely that they would get bumped off more than Charles.
They just get more coverage now. The ‘bell curve’ hasn’t moved at all.
no, sorry:
Sorry, can someone eggsplain to me if the protest was successful,the news has been very scrambled .
I wonder if the Judge will declare "omeletteing you off with a warning"?
Where are all the security????
Walkabouts do seem rather lightly protected vs the driving around bit. There is the obvious bodyguard looking rather irritated part way through since the right response is tricky in that situation.
I was hoping at the end when the woman presented the sword that Charles would grab it and turn around and go right time for a game of eggs and soldiers.
