Queen Elizabeth Pelted With Eggs, Saw Man’s Naked Backside In New Zealand

Queen Elizabeth II faced some controversial moments during her trip to New Zealand in 1986.

Matthew Kirkham, a journalist for Express, said that while parading in front of a huge crowd of royal fans, two women masquerading as crowd-control officers lurched forward and began hurling a barrage of raw eggs at the Queen as she rode in an open car. The eggs splattered on her pink coat at that time.

Prince Philip, who was with Her Majesty, helped wipe the slimy egg yolk off of his wife’s coat. The incident reportedly occurred during the third day of the Queen’s nine-day tour of New Zealand.

But it seemed as though the monarch was left unfazed by the incident because when she got asked about it, she even managed to say that she preferred New Zealand eggs for breakfast.

Meanwhile, another embarrassing moment occurred in front of the Queen while she was in the provincial city of Napier on New Zealand’s northern island. As the Queen made her way through the city, a Maori man who was only wearing a grass skirt burst from the crowd out of nowhere.

The man whirled around and lifted his skirt up to display his buttocks right in front of the Queen. His bum bore tattooed images. Native Maori activists said that they planned a “21 bum salute” for the Queen to show their strong opposition of her and the monarchy.

Activist Dun Mihaka said that it is common practice for Maoris to bare their bum because this is their traditional insult known as the whakapohane.

In related news, Prince Harry stepped out on a solo engagement on behalf of his grandmother the Queen on Wednesday. The Duke of Sussex, who was named as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador last year, took part in a roundtable discussion with young leaders from across the Commonwealth.

During his conversation with the young leaders, Prince Harry talked about becoming a first-time dad.

“As someone who is about to become a father, I am actually aware of our shared responsibility to make this world more resilient and its inhabitants more accountable for the next generation,” he said.
