King Charles narrowly escapes a protestor's egg attack. why did this happen?

A guy who attempted to hurl eggs at King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort, on Wednesday during their walkabout in York was taken into custody by police. During a trip to northern England, the newly crowned king and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla, narrowly avoided being struck by eggs. The royal family visited the historic city to witness the first statue of Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth, to be erected since her passing on September 8 by attending its unveiling. The King and Queen Consort were escorted away by minders after what seemed to be three eggs were thrown at them. A video of the incident has gone viral. Eggs were seen moving in the video before they broke on the ground. None seemed to strike the royal pair, but instead landed close to the king's feet. At a crowd barrier, many police officers could be seen wrestling with a man. According to a royal specialist, a police investigation into the alleged protester attack on King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, during a royal engagement is likely to be conducted. Before being held by multiple police officers, some demonstrators could be heard yelling, "This country was established on the blood of slaves" and "not my king." According to reporters on the scene, the protester booed the royal couple before he seemed to hurl the eggs at them. God save the King and "shame on you" were chanted in support of the pair by the royal supporters who had congregated at the famous Mick Legate Bar venue for the visit. The attacker was identified by UK media as a former Green Party candidate and Extinction Rebellion member. Police were seen apprehending the alleged offender as Charles and Camilla continued with a customary ceremony to formally welcome the royals to the city of York. Charles said he was open to discussions on the subject when he met artists in the neighboring city of Leeds who had taken part in a project addressing Britain's involvement in slavery on Tuesday. Fiona Compton, a St. Lucian artist and historian who knows the monarch and was involved in the project, told reporters afterward that. He is eager to have these dialogues and see what work can be done. He agrees; this is British history; it should not be concealed," said Compton, whose father served as prime minister of St. Lucia. "In the same way we are speaking about the Holocaust, we should be open to discussing Britain's involvement in the slave trade. As expanding republican groups in Commonwealth nations with the British monarch as head of state called on the Crown to apologize for the slave trade and atone for colonization, the royal family has been forced to deal with the topic more frequently. Prince William, the king's eldest son, encountered protests about historical royal ties to slavery, calls for reparations, and increasing republican fervor during a tour of the Caribbean earlier this year. Prince Edward, the youngest brother of Charles, encountered comparable protests and canceled a leg to Grenada following pro-Republican rallies there. In the country, Charles is less well-liked than his late mother, who enjoyed consistently high approval ratings for her record-breaking seven-decade rule. In the most recent YouGov survey, 44% of individuals had a favorable impression of him, compared to nearly 75% of Queen Elizabeth. Climate activists this month covered a wax replica of Charles at London's Madame Tussauds museum with chocolate cake, despite having long  advocated for environmental problems. Antimonarchist viewpoints, according to republican groups, were drowned out during the country's period of national mourning for the queen in September. Police tactics in dealing with demonstrators who publicly questioned Charles' accession's hereditary principle drew condemnation.
