Teenager fined £100 for throwing an egg at King Charles Swim

Harry May, 21, of Luton, north London, was fined £100 ($122) and ordered to pay £85 costs after pleading guilty to a public order offense.

 According to foreign news agencies, the egg-throwing incident occurred when King Charles, 74, was in Luton on December 6 to meet community leaders and open a new Sikh temple.

 Prosecutor Jason Settle said the egg thrown by May landed near Charles while he was talking to locals.  May told police she threw the egg because she thought it was inappropriate for the king to visit a poor and deprived town like Luton.

 Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring told May during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court that whatever you disagree with someone, the way to resolve it is not to throw missiles at them.
