I’m a lip reader – here’s what King Charles said after being pelted with eggs by idiot before dramatic arrest
KING Charles stoically said “it’s fine, let’s carry on” after eggs were thrown at him yesterday, a lip reader has claimed.
The monarch first said “pleased to meet you” to a woman in the crowd as he carried on shaking hands, Jeremy Freeman suggested.
He then turned to a woman in military uniform and said to carry on before asking a protection officer: “Everything alright?”
Jeremy told the Mirror he thinks the protection officer told His Majesty: “He’s been taken care of.”
Yesterday four eggs were lobbed at the King, who barely flinched.
The idiot protester, identified as Extinction Rebellion gardener Patrick Thelwell, was immediately bundled to the ground as the crowd yelled “shame on you” at him and “God save the King“.

North Yorkshire Police today released him on bail.
The eggs were seen whizzing past the King, a celebrated environmentalist, as he met with members of the public during a visit to the area with Queen Camilla.
All the eggs failed to hit the King but one landed near him on the road.
His Majesty barely flinched – before turning round to look at the egg and stoically carrying on.

Police pulled Patrick Thelwell – who has previously been a Green Party candidate – from the crowd and put him on the floor at Micklegate Bar in York.
He was then thrown into the back of a police van and removed from the scene – with cops this morning confirming a 23-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence.
Several images show the idiot sticking his tongue out as he was pulled away.
Thelwell has previously attended big Extinction Rebellion protests and been arrested several times.
