Meanwhile, as police dragged him away, the British monarch continued with a traditional ceremony to officially welcome the sovereign to the city of York by the lord mayor.
UK media outlets have identified the protester as a former Green Party candidate and activist with the Extinction Rebellion environmental protest group.
Currently, King Charles is on a two-day tour of northern England. He came to the throne in September after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth, becoming the oldest person to accede to the British throne.
This is not the first time such an incident has happened. In 2022, eggs were also thrown at Elizabeth's royal car when she visited Nottingham, central England. Anti-British protesters threw eggs at Charles during a walkabout in central Dublin in 1995.
