Urgent review of King Charles’ safety is underway as further protests feared on Christmas Day

An urgent review of King Charles’ security was carried out ahead of the royal family’s public appearance on Christmas Day, following recent protests.

The Windsor family will greet well-wishers on December 25 as they return from a morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church on their Sandringham property.

However, royal protection chiefs are concerned that the king may confront protesters after twice being attacked by egg-throwing activists.

The team responsible for the monarch’s security is said to have met at least twice and ordered an immediate review of his security. Mirror informed.

A security review of King Charles is underway ahead of his public outing on Christmas Day.

The monarch has been attacked twice by activists throwing eggs at it in the past two months.

The footage captured the moment the eggs flew past King Charles as city leaders greeted him in central York.

King Charles has been egged twice recently, earlier this month a man was arrested for common assault following a disturbance in St George’s Square in Luton.

Although Charles, 74, seemed unfazed by the incident and was quick to shake hands with members of the public again after he was escorted to a different area.

Just four weeks earlier, another man was arrested for throwing an egg at the King and Queen Consort during a visit to York.

The royal couple had just arrived in the city on November 9 to unveil a statue honoring the late Queen at York Minster when a figure in the crowd threw four eggs, all of which missed.

The royal family makes a public appearance on Christmas Day after attending church in the morning.

The Royal Executive Committee and VIP of the police are responsible for the safety of the King and Camila.

A source told The Mirror that police chiefs are “worried” about the possibility of further riots, saying: “This is not just about people with eggs at their disposal, they are all well aware that it could be much worse.” .

“A full-scale review is underway to ensure the correct evacuation policies and procedures are in place.”

Buckingham Palace officials also said they had held emergency talks after an increase in the number of riots during public outings.

Former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent and head of the royal protection unit, Dai Davies, told The Mirror the right to peaceful protest must be upheld, but officers must have “sharp focus”.

He said: ‘There is no silver bullet to this pattern of attacks or protests, but intelligence and exit strategies are the most important factor.

The egg incidents show the vulnerability of royalty, but it has happened before and it will happen again.

‘The key is to make sure these incidents don’t get triggered.

Patrick Thelwell, 23, will appear before York Magistrates’ Court on 20 January next year charged with threatening conduct contrary to Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986.

This month, a student was accused of threatening behavior after eggs were thrown at the King during a walk in York, revealing that he intends to ask the Monarch to present evidence in his defence.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it had authorized North Yorkshire Police to charge Patrick Thelwell following the November 9 incident.

The 23-year-old will appear before York Magistrates’ Court on January 20 next year charged with threatening conduct contrary to Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986.

Mr Thelwell said: ‘I am charged under section four of the public order act.

‘My plea hearing is on January 20. I will plead not guilty, of course.

‘The charge relates to someone who is in fear of imminent physical violence.

The question is whether the king feared impending violence. So I don’t know how to get an answer to that without getting a statement from it.

Asked if he would also call the king to give live testimony, he replied: “I think these are questions for my lawyer.” It should be fun.’

Prince Louis will join the Royal Family for their public walk to church on Christmas Day in Sandringham

Prince Louis is set to join the royal family’s traditional Christmas walk to church in Sandringham for the first time this year.

The four-year-old caught the nation’s attention at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations over the summer with his mischievous antics.

The final decision on Prince Louis’s attendance at Sandringham will not be made until the same day.

But the youngster is expected to make proceedings light and festive alongside his older brothers Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, and distract attention from the ongoing family feud with Harry and Meghan. .
