In November, a similar incident had taken place when a 23-year-old man allegedly threw eggs at Charles and Queen Consort Camilla in York. He was arrested and later released on bail.

The king has travelled widely across Britain since becoming monarch on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September. He was to visit several sites in Luton, including a transit station and a Sikh house of worship, a gurdwara.
